Quick questions on GOATY.

Quick questions on GOATY. I'm working through the GOAT Drill in Goaty Live Lesson. It keeps telling me that my lead arm is bending. I look in the mirror and see no bending. It also tells me I'm lifting with my trail arm too early and I will take swings where I keep both arms straight in backswing for as long as I can but it still tells me I'm picky up. I uploaded a video I took right after. I'm only swinging about 50%. LMK if GOATY is right and anything more you might want to add. Thanks!!!

Hey Richard. The lead arm doesn't look like much bend but the way you are torquing in the backswing looks off. Your head drops but it looks more artificial due to push versus stretch. Use the drill Chuck sent on Friday for Step 1 of the GOAT Drill. Focus on rotating the rib cage/sternum back with more resistance from lead hip as the lead arm/wrist has structure. Doesn't look bad but where the movement (your engine) is coming from seems askew.
Boy, it's very frustrating. It's like I'm hitting my head against the wall. Goaty keeps saying my arms are working independently, I'm lifting with trail arm...I took 27 swings and got 2 to pass. I've watched the drip a few times now and understand concept. Do I keep working with Goaty as frustrating as it might be (it just keeps telling me the same thing although I try to make what I think are big adjustments)?
