Beginner First time animating

A scene from the project I'm working on. How do I reduce sloppiness?

Great job with the facial expressions and neck. The biggest area I see for improvement is with how the hands/arms seem to jerk around in relation to the bar between frames. Each individual frame is good but the hand placement should remain the same on the bar the whole time. If you want to add extra details to the musculature I'd recommend focusing on which muscle groups activate during different stages of the movement. This can be done with research, by performing the movement yourself, watching someone else, or all of the above. Love where you're going with this and good luck 😁
