Welcome Mr. @David Chavez to the group! Admittedly, I have not been very active on this page recently as I have been really busy dealing with some Australian Visa issues and traveling a lot, but I'm happy to have you here and would love to see your posts and help you from them! Best to you, David, and your lovely family :) Hello from Redding, California!

@David Leal at the moment I'm not sure there is a huge benefit to getting rid of the butt kick, but if you really want to then you can just work to have your legs straight. Here's a drill that can help you with that, though it's a bit out of context as it has a lean-in and more you can work of from there (from the RMU program), but it should help a bit!

@Kori Chavez Hi! I'm so sorry to get back to you so late! I did not see any notifications, but I admit that my wifi here is not so good and I could have missed it :/ When you are dropping down you are keeping your shoulders quite far back behind the bar. If you can keep your head closer to the bar while keeping your hips back where they are, you will drop with a bit more swing which should help. Additionally, because your legs are high in the front, I would recommend that you bend in your knees to keep your feet and knees beneath the bar. Attempt to drop the legs straight down beneath the bar so your body passes through the stretched position either slightly behind the bar or directly beneath it. As you can see in the screenshots below, your head is quite far back on the drop and your body is straightening on the front side of the bar. These are the things we should try to fix.

Hey Kori, It's just here where you start to push your shoulders away from the bar. If you can bring the bar right past your face, but still keep your bum out behind you that would be great :)

Hi @Kori Chavez ! Sorry for the super late reply! You just need to try to keep your legs straighter and snap them back a little earlier. This will give your upper body more time to transition over the rings, and though you may catch low it will feet better because your body won't have had time to drop before the catch. From there, you'll be able to work on getting a higher catch (if that's what you are aiming for).
