    You want you head up, not down

    Not according to Mark Rippetoe. I trust his instruction.

    Ok here's the video with me paying attention to hip drive:

    I didn't pay too much attention to pushing from the heels. Looking at the video I think I can see my feet rocking forward just a smidge on the way up then rocking back at the top of the movement.

    Anyway I tried to snap my hips forward near the top of the movement. I found that it made it easy to get that last bit out. Is that what hip drive is meant to do for you?



    I like looking forward but I tried looking up and looking down on my warm up with the empty bar:

    I didn't have the balls to try either way with heavier weights.

    Reps 2, 3, 4 & 5, good hip drive in my opinion.
