Stop trying to think your way into better clean technique.
If your bar path loops out, you miss hip contact, or you’re constantly jumping forward, telling yourself to "fix it" isn't working. Instead, use constraints. By introducing external boundaries, like foam rollers to block a looping bar path or elevating your starting position, you force your body to self organize and find the correct path naturally.
