Weight gain after long absence affecting mechanics

Since my long absence I have probably gained 30lbs. I tried to keep and maintain my old form but with my stroke my elbow physically cant be as close to my body as it used to be but my natural muscle memory goes back to my old form automatically. I either need to reinstate my LA fitness membership or develop new mechanics.
 
do the push exercise, and it only has to be done once or twice a day, one time to achieve your goals.





put two hands on the edge of the table and push your chair away from the food table once a day after eating lightly.

or better yet push some of the food off your plate every meal.

results shown in two weeks. satisfaction immediately.

best results come from not going to any chain food place for any reason. your health will get better and you get to see what old age looks like. although that it isn't so great.
 
Before I was injured on the job in 2010, I weighed 225 lbs and stood 5’8”.
Today I stand 5.7” and 140 lbs. my weight range steadily averages 137 -
142 lbs regularly. As soon as My weight approaches low 140’s, I feel
bloated like my stomach is swollen when in fact it is really as flat as a
ironing board. My meal portions are like 1/2 what I used to consume.

I no longer have back problems and see my chiropractor 2-3x annually
just to feel better but zero nagging problems. I wear size 32 Levi’s slim
cut jeans which are loose enough so that my IWB holsters are comfortable.
Gosh, I feel better, lots of energy and alacrity and playing pool is better,
except for my 2 bum shoulders that limit my playing but I do look good.

You might try experimenting with more of a traditional snooker stance with your feet and upper body more facing the target, so your arm/elbow are not as much obstructed by your stomach on your follow through.
 
Try this: After you take your final aim and are dropping down on the shot take a small "jab step" with your front foot about 6-8 inches to the side instead of straight forward.. This will momentarily make your eyes drop off the shot line but when you lower into your bridge your eyes will come back and your stance will open up just enough so your belly will be clear of your stroke.
