I was going through cues in my head as I started my sets but I didn't think about keeping my chest up or to get back on my heels. Next time around I'll focus on that as well. ty!

I feel like my arms look weird in the videos but it feels fairly natural. I'm transitioning from a thumbed grip to thumbless so maybe that's some of it.
So I should have my chin a lot closer down to my chest?

It's funny, as I was doing reps I would actively squeeze my glutes in while finishing a rep and really feel it in the glutes/hams/calves some. The calves part was interesting as I didn't think I would feel it there but I did...but only in my right one. But my right one was already a little sore from snowboarding this weekend so maybe that's some of it. Regardless, it was nice to feel it in my posterior chain as opposed to only my lower back like I was before.
