some criticsm on my lifts plx
« on: Sep 11, 2010, 09:55 PM »
So i just started doing weightlifting this summer, been training for about 4 months. I really like This sport and i really wanna improve (who doesnt).  The main issue is that i have no coach. I was hoping some of you could possibly give me some useful tips. I'm mainly concerned about my snatch, im not sure if jumping forward is a good thing, but yeah how would i know.

I think you are doing very very Well.

For the snatch the only key I would suggest is keep your elbows pointed out (in line with the bar).

As for the clean I looks like you might be cutting of your pull a bit.
Don't be in a rush to get under the bar.
Finish tall in the pull.

Well done.

Keep training

Cheers

Mike

You are def cutting your pull short on the clean. stay over the bar longer be a little more patient. If you can, your squat up will be much easier and of course you will lift more!! :)peaceout

The mecanical and geometrical faces are very good. I think that you spent too much time dropping and adjunting the weights between repetitions. I think better download the bar with control and lift inmediatly.
The knee behind, in the jerk, seems slightly unstable, because of feet position.
