I've always been a hardstyle kind of guy, but always found the sport long cycle really interesting. Watching more videos of the long cycle, or really even just sport cleans in general- I'm seeing that most people tend to curve their body around the bell in a way that is discouraged in hardstyle technique.

To someone who has very little experience in sport, it looks to me like a lot of these lifters are leaning back to keep the bell more in line with with their hips instead of standing up straight like with hardstyle. To me, this looks like dangerous flexion, but it seems to be the proper way to do it in sport... can someone educate me on this, because to my uneducated eye, it just seems bad?
