I keep forgetting to kick my feet out wider for the catch, and I noticed my back rounds a bit in the vids, but not too bad for a self taught lifter Noticed I do a double leg rebend, I never knew this until seeing the vids and freeze frames!

Its great having a camera, you can review your form in between sets!

Not bad at all, the only thing i noticed is that you seemed to press part of the 135 after you got it above your head, is that proper form??? overall good form and good acceleration

 

[coolcolj]

No

I forgot to kick my feet out wider and bend my legs more to lower my body for the catch and thus the bar didn't quite lock out. But it's close enough for me to count it, otherwise the next snatch workout it will be in the bag

I'm ahead of schedule though - I was expecting it to take me till Christmas to do it, but the extra mass and strength I gained during my 3 week HST hypertorphy/conditioning phase sure has helped! I guess the sprint intervals can take a share of the gains as well.

Next goal will be 135 for the hang and 165 for the power version.

very good. first time I have ever seen anyone perform a snatch. like lord suston said, seemed like you pressed the weight up above your head. thanks for posting the vid, at least I have a baseline image on how to do it.

Yes I did press it out to lock out. But had I stepped my feet out wider and bent my knees lower like I should on the catch I would have had it

In fact 115x3 was my old PR. I got 120x1, 125x2 (not in vid), 135 was a bonus really! I'll make ammends when I hit 140lb fresh in a couple of weeks

My form differs a bit from a proper snatch though - mine is more athlete orientated than a proper Olympic lifter form I gather, which is geared to lift more weight, since they catch the weight in a lower full squat position and with less jumping

thanks

Jump power snatch is a fast lift

 

[thriller]

nice lifts coolcolj. thanks for the vids now i got something to work with. i think my shoulder problems asre from startign withj too heavy weights. i was using like 80 or so because it felt light and i could get it up nice and fast. but the jump part still isnt working for me.

what about some jump shrug vids???

congrats again

next week perhaps, on leg day, jumping deadlift vid for Spatts

 

[the People's Champ]

one of these days I will perform a snatch, or attempt to. my overhead squat seems pretty solid now, with some weight, and I would like to complete it by being able to perform a snatch.
