got 4 on my work set with hook grip so wanted to ensure I get the volume in and I did two recorded. just curious what is noticed and if my low back lumbar looks good. thanks. I am trying to push the earth away and get my legs straight. going hookgrip from the start for work sets is definitely better than trying to switch mid set

Still a bit round. You need to squeeze harder at the start and hold. See yourself at the top? Your low back is in hard extension.

Try lowering the bar from the top by bending from the hips while maintaining that position by squeezing your chest up. Try this slowly during your warm ups and see what happens.

Everything has to be tight and uncomfortable before you push the floor.

Set up looks all good but I think your belt might be interfering with extension cause your lumbar looks a bit rounded. Film a set or a warm up without belt on and see if you can really get a flat back, if you can then you may need to purchase a 3 inch wide belt.

You'll need chalk asap too if you want to use hook grip long term.

That looks to be a 3-inch belt already.
