Can I understand your thoughts on aiming for a neutral back in the starting position? Much of the time as the lift begins my upper back begins to round and the lift is slow off the floor. However, if I start with thoracic rounding, I'm able to mitigate this issue and the lift is more smooth. Thoughts?

[@DavidBlained]

Had this issue before, it means somewhere or something is wrong with your setup. Anything that rounds/move out of position when the lift begins is usually a sign that your body is trying to compensate for that mistake. Unless you're a professional like Konstantin, the general way is to keep a neutral back as this allows for proper bracing & execution

[@falzonrobert]

@@DavidBlained Nah thoracic rounding isn't bad as long as it isn't sever, when they're referring to a neutral back they're referring to the lower back mostly. They mentioned this in another video I believe
