Position is king in weightlifting. Being shifted forward or back just one degree will have a direct result on where that bar will go. An observation as I work with many newly initiated weightlifters is the body’s unawareness of how to navigate to key points of the pull consistently making for equally inconsistent bar paths and often frustrating practice sessions.

The remedy? PVC pipe to the rescue: 100 reps at a time until the unassuming little plasticky vinyl tube becomes the heaviest bar in the gym or until you can hit all the key points of your pull with robotic precision. Only until that happens can you have the assurance that your body has built in the GPS on where to go.
