Is it bad that my upper thighs get sore from olympic lifts? I know banging the bar is bad but I'm not sure if i'm initiating hip drive too early or if the bar is too far away and I have to overcorrect.. could this be the case?
If it's DOMS then don't worry, it'll go away as you get used to the training. If it's an "Ooh, let's see how elastic my massive quads are" kind of sore, then get a video up like Steven said.
I'm going to try to get video soon once I can borrow a camera. There isn't bruising, but it's that type of soreness where the bar might hit against my upper thighs when i'm in second pull. Is there any drills to help so the bar stays in contact with my thighs during second pull?
