Great to see those new Utah records last wknd -- 5 for 6 w/ 2, 1, and 5k PR's!!

Especially good to see you will get 125k SN soon, and came thru w/ 300+ (137k) CJ despite less than 50% success w/ wts over 110 these last cpl mo.

Hope the video comes available soon!!

Really nice lifting, well done.
I love your technique in the snatch, fast and snappy.

Taylor, I think your hips are too low in the clean at the start. It is causing the bar to come away from you right off the floor and as it passes the knees. You should try leaning over the bar a touch more and focusing on keeping it closer to the body. The finish needs to be sharpened also IMO.

Nice work! I agree with Chris. You have more kilos in you for the clean.

Awesome PR's!!  I too agree with Chris and Matt.  Keep it a bit closer and try and get the shoulders over the bar a bit more.  Your lifts are coming along nicely!!!
