Quote from: ViKtoricus on Jun 13, 2011, 01:04 PMA while ago, I attempted a max snatch of 105 pounds (with ten-pound weight plates stacked on top of each other to be used as a way to rest the 105-pound barbell on.).I can pull it high enough, and there was a moment when the bar was in PERFECT POSITION and the only thing I had to do was stand up, which would've been very easy. However, before I even tried to stand up, the bar decided to just fall in front of me. Failed lifts.This happens ALL the time. Reccomendations please?Thanks in advance.Aside from all the professional advice you are luckily recieving from the regulars i'd like to offer my own . youve been unsuccessful with the snatch not only from the technical and strength aspect. after reading your first paragraph i can see that you dont like to accept failure, the "BAR" doesnt "decide" anything. of course i dont have a video to check it out with but ill guess anyway. your shoulders were not over the bar enough , your butt is too high your arms bent too early , causing you to not fully extend your hips "banged" the bar causing it to arc , and when you entered the catch phase a plethora of things couldve happened but ill just say you paused in the bottom as you struggled to regain your balance and then you dropped .am i close? YOU NEED TO FOCUS. But this comes at a price: patience, humility, a diregard numbers if you dont have these qualities it aint gonna happen
