Interesting workout. Low on sleep( dog) so not super strong but the weights moved well and I learned a lot.
Came close to mimicking my last work with this style and weight. Felt very natural
Put the bar up very high on clavicle. Felt great but left shoulder didn't like it when I didn't bring the bar low enough on the third rep of the second set and the bones kind of shuddered their way across the rep
Too high off the chest with a wrapped thumb and a close grip let my elbow flare too soon.
Switched to false grip and all was good.
Also think I have to move my grip out just a thumb's width too; just one finger off the smooth. with the layback style I could have it closer because of the arch and more lats
Have to remember NOT to not touch the chest on each rep. Better to pause than mess with the shoulder
But simply looked up ( not back ) to unrack and just stood up , locked the knees ( need to still get this stronger) then simply drove the bar up with arms and shoulders. When it started to slow drive the TORSO ( NOT just the hips) forward as the old video shows
Much more upright throughout and a much closer to actual overhead finish position
Re reading Brooks Kubiks Dinosaur Press book Ike Bergers technique reads the same way
Good company

Very please with this first effort and my conditioning, while not bad, has wee bit to go. Pretty short rest/sets too just the three man rotation
