This is me NOT practicing what I preach. Notice my back rounds just a bit in the recovery portion of the clean. I likely caught it too far forward. But, just as likely, I simply didn’t stay as tight as I should have. That’s a common reaction when the weight is heavy, but it’s counter productive. The tighter you stay, the stronger you’ll be, the more likely you’ll be to make the lift.

Also, rounding of the back in the recovery can lead you to dump the bar forward, losing an otherwise good clean.
