I've seen some Crossfit coach teaches to lead off on your toes. Terrible.
Crossfit promotes internal elbow and that external is incorrect.
I do external rotation. my anatomy feels better this way. Besides you can lock the arms better this way.
The L1 seminar trainer and I got into a heated debate about it. Smh
This is the best analogy I found about this subject. Torokhtiy even supports it. See video

That's horrible, then again, most strength coaches don't know how to teach certain compound movements.
There is a saying that Olympic Weightlifting Coaches have:
Give me an hour and I can teach anyone how to perform a proper power clean. Unless a football coach got to them first, then it'll take me two.
Worst cue I got, from a strength coach was on a power clean. "Deadlift the weight, when it reaches above youre knee JUMP!" Smh, facepalm, I was kid so that's what we all did. Glad I didn't blow out my knee or wreck my lower back.
It is what it is, as far the elbow rotation, it's an argument where both of you were right... or wrong depending on your perspective. The one CF teaches is more in line with Burgener and USAW. Most of the American Lifters in OTC tend to do it that way. Different countries, different techniques. Russians don't lift like the Chinese, Chinese don't lift like Americans, etc.
Then you have to factor anatomical differences, and it looks like you found something that works for you, run with it.
Leading off your toes... universally wrong.
I checked them out and they are the same price as rogue. Are these more durable than rogue?
Same price, better quality.
