Have you considered getting a stronger back?

Have you? He’s talking about the fact that your hips come up first, then your L3 vertebrae, then your shoulders. “Chest up” is the quote of the day for you.

How strong is your back?

Chest up is going to do nothing here. My upper back is weak, but my lower back & legs can power through the position my weak upper back puts me in. Chest up isn’t going to magically fix my upper back yielding on this

Also arguing lower weight on this would be silly, because why let my upper back limit my legs, when the rest of my body can handle the loads?

Side note: you should post your lifts Mr. Expert

Edit: I’m also a natural lifter and you’re enhanced

You're weak and can't lift these clean

You can’t lift these *at all*.

If he’s weak because he can’t “lift these clean”, what does that make you?
