Go to the local coaches.
I say, if you don't need internet coaching - you live 30min from 3 of the gyms you say - save the questions for a live coach. There could easily be something you are missing yourself, not telling us, and therefore we're all missing something vital.
I don't mean to denegrate online help, but a coach can watch you do a dozen jerks in minutes, whereas no one here has seen you do one.
Personally I like to use the net to strategize and search for ideas, but when it comes to practice, I consider myself lucky that I have a gym with (a) coach(es) and plenty of experienced people who can see me in action. I can't imagine I'd have made the progress I have without them. (That being said, I am often very impressed by what self-taught people have accomplished with the Classical lifts.)
