Highland Games: Weight Over Bar "Water Bottle Drill | Empowered Strength ft. John Odden

[@CBBMachineGun1988]

I have been competing in the Highland Games for a year now and I still can't clear 8 feet with the 56lbs weight. I have been training and I've gotten so close to clearing that opening height. On the pull where the weight is being driven up, do I keep my arm straight or do I swing it up close to my body like I'm doing a snatch? Every time I tried the straight arm method, the weight would just pull me forward.
