As you will only really be able to focus on so many different things at the same time WHILE lifting, try to use one of these at a time for 1-3 weeks before testing out the other ideas. Remember too that these are things that I THINK have worked for me and that I've consciously thought about while lifting, but may not ultimately be the reason for my performance. Maybe its that I can brace with my midsection better, or have a stronger PC, or lumbar, or cue explosiveness better, or other factors I'm unaware of. The best I can do is throw out cues I think can aid other lifters in achieving better positioning, in what I think are examples to benefit lifters. Ideas of doubt of expertise come from sections in Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell in which professional tennis players all think they roll the wrist as the #1 cue to a good forearm, when actually there is no wrist bend whatsoever. Without heavy analysis or hard science, the best we can do at cueing and coaching is simply suggestion.

Best,
Bryce Lewis
