Your technique keeps looking better!

You look like you are "powering" all of them and then riding them down, you want to GET UNDER them MORE and FASTER!

One "minor" difference between your 1st two snatch attempts and you 3rd attempt is that you "slightly" dropped you chin after you locked out the 3rd attempt (before you missed it).

You are "over-pulling" on the cleans.

Good observations. The 170 clean did crash down on me a bit. So that means I should be able to do more right?

Thanks Jim, I dont know why but I have always been a power type puller instead of a get under faster type lifter. I keep working on hang and block work to get under faster.


As for the Don Macauly video..... you better message this guy that video too, it looks like he sweeps away:

Yes.  If you look at the cleans frame by frame you will see that you stand up and then "wait" there while your arms bend and the bar continues to move up.  Those split seconds that you dwell there are split seconds you could be moving under the bar and then consequently lift more.  Once you fully stand up, it is time to immediately start moving under the bar.

How good do you want to be?  Nothing wrong with being a power type puller.  Especially if you can fully utilize it with a "get under it lightning fast" pull under.

Regarding Don Mc... not everything he says is wrong... LOL.  The point of my posting it is... try different things and see what you can use to your benefit.
