PoB and BI nailed it......
Start your pull by grabbing the bar. Squeeze your back tight and then sit back. You'll feel your hamstrings pull tight - that's going to help pop off of the floor. Honestly, with this light of a weight you'll probably have the bar 2" off the floor by the time you really wedge in. If you need a visual cue, try keeping your knees and ankles in line, shins vertical.
The belt is definitely too low. It's causing you to hunch to get to the bar.
Here's a question for you Porky.... I tried wearing my belt high (George Leeman high) and I just couldn't do it. I wear it on my belly button but wearing it a good bit above just didn't sit well for me. It threw me off completely. I've heard from those who feel you should wear it high and from others not to. Just wondering what your insight on that is....
Perhaps, I should just work it and in time I'll get used to it.
