I'm no Oly coach but the most common mistake I see with clients is too much arms. Oftentimes if technique is OK I'll up the weight to a load forcing them to pull correctly, but obviously for you Manny's advice is more appropriate.

I believe it was Verkhoshansky that said any bend in the arms equals a possible 20% reduction in power, so how's that for motivation.

Looking good Tina. Impressive all around.
