The Early Armbend Pitfall

Toes will be stepped on with this one.  Early arm-bend is a technique (or fault) that is commonly used to mask poor positioning and lack of body control.  The truth is, if you are bending slightly early then you are leaking power, if you are bending very early then your are hemorrhaging power. If the name of the game is efficiency under the bar then an early arm bend can never be advocated.  Check out the video below for an in-depth explanation of what is happening with this fault. www.vulcanmovement.com
