Congratulations on the video; it's a very useful study resource for coaches. However, I have a comment to make. I am an L1 coach and recently attended a Weightlifting 101 seminar. For a long time, I’ve wondered what the correct elbow position should be. In the CrossFit environment, it's often said that the elbow should point forward. However, the advice to rotate the elbow forward is incorrect, as it creates a stability issue, especially with heavier loads. Stability issues in the elbow can lead to a risk of collapse, potentially causing the load to fall on you, with the risk of injury or even fractures. The correct advice is to keep the elbows pointed back, with the front of the elbow facing forward. Positioning the elbow back increases arm stability and reduces the risk of collapse or instability when holding the weight.
Overall great job from Denise and awesome group management. Couple of things, though: 1) Never explained or showed the bar path. Great step with pauses, pull back the pvc pipe etc, but that it doesn't guarantee a straight bar path. 2) She was keep giving the same cues again and again to Marshall and he didn't do what she was asking for. I would love to see a different approach, rather to keep saying the same thing. The cue "heels back, come forward" wasn't clear enough.
1) it's not recommended to "show the bar path", you can simply teach to keep the pvc in the right position and with paused reps you can keep the pvc in the right position in every part of the movement, so telling them about bar path may become useless. 2) yes she said twice a cue but when they are in the bottom of the overhead squat it's quite impossible to switch to a visual cue, the longer they stay in that position the uglier their position becomes. say a cue, try another time then switch when they are resting. these are only my opinions but I'd like to see what Denise thinks about it.
1) explaining the bar path is quite useless when you explain where to put the pvc. 2) a verbal cue is faster and when they are in an active position if you switch to a visual cue maybe you correct him but many others won't be able to hold a good position. she tried a verbal cue twice because it was the fastest way, a verbal cue can be better when they are resting because it takes longer time to be delivered. these are only my opinion.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 She worked the arse off every single one of them, that's how you Coach 💪👏

They should make a video on safety and how not to drown.
