Straight. That is all that needs to be said on the matter. Seriously.
For our intents and purposes, the bar path on any lift should be straight up and down. Completely vertical. Check out the videos below for a comparison of bar paths and styles.

This whole time we have been talking about bar path I thought we meant the Redroom to Clouds, to Palomar, to the Catalyst, to the Asti…
Your meaning seems to have more relevance to Crossfit.
Weird, my bar path begins and ends at Red.
Golden and Des, you are too funny.. Couple of wise guys. love it. xoxo
My bar path has become significantly boring in my old age…but, in terms of Crossfit, these videos showed my that I need to JUMP more! And none of that ballerina stuff from my toes, Sam.
