Topic: Moz's lifting journal.

[Moz]

Hi guys Im new to this site and new to weightlifting so please be nice :)

My names Moz and Ive been powerlifting for around 9yrs and moved over to weightlifting around 8 weeks ago. my 1st comps coming up on the 8th of May 2010. I train @ a local gym but sometimes travel to Gorton in Manchester (UK) to get some expert coaching.

Ive been keeping a journal on another strength forum but its more of astrongman related site so I thought Id post here where theres more like minded poeple. heres my snatch tech:

Moz snatch technique

C+J

65kg clean and jerk

theworst Jerk Ive done since Ive started lifting.

comments and help welcome

Welcome. I like your lifts. They are slo-mo and light but I think with further training in the lifts they will look good.
Need to have your front foot further ahead in the jerk so that your shin is about vertical (or at least not sloping away from you)

[Owen Duguay]

Not bad at all.    I wouldn't correct any of my lifters if they lifted like you.    Just keep on .    You're doing well.
