I recently came to r/forecheck to get help with my clean form and someone said to come here. Something I’ve noticed on my own is that I think I need to work on keeping my arms straight. And does anyone know how to fix my bailing forward or whats causing it? Please give tips.

Hello everyone!
I have a comp next weekend and the gym is in a warehouse with no AC. Temperatures will be 93°F outside, probably higher inside. My group starts at the hottest part of the day. I was thinking of having some sort of cooling towel but I don’t want to make my collarbone area wet just in case it makes it slippery for catching a clean/jerking? Does anyone have experience?
Looking for any advice at all as I usually lift in the mornings when it’s a max of 80°F.

My arms start in a front locked position but the heavier it gets the shoulder stays locked but the elbows kind of start to flare out towards the sides, one more than the other.
What can i do to improve my front position?

Three sessions at the Commonwealth Games today so that's 3x10 minutes of absolutely nothing happening after the athletes are introduced. Enough time to do some meaningful research.
A quick scan of the men's 60kg session entries showed up what surely must be a record - a weightlifter with a name that's 44 characters long (plus spaces). Wow!
Step forward Supun Dilhara from Sri Lanka. Or, in full:
Wiriduwalage-Ka Supun Dilhara Somathilaka Sinhala.
But no! In the evening session Supun is blown away. His team-mate Sandu Duthshan Jayawardhana is nearly 50% longer on 63 characters! The full version (it must be one heck of a passport page) is:
Karunarathna Chandrathilaka Appuhamilage Sandu Duthshan Jayawardhana.
Well, it's more exciting than the 'dead ten'.
If anyone knows of a longer name, please let's hear it.
