L. O. G. (Lifting for Overhead Greatness)

IMHO in both your clean and snatch, you aren't extending all the way before you drop under it. You've got a lot of power, but your knees look bent to me when you start to drop. Also, is the bar contacting your thighs at all? Your Jerk looks great!

i agree theres something not quite right with your 2nd pull, looks like ur arms are doing too much of the work. When this happens with me its usually because theres too much tension in my arms and shoulders in the start position, its hard to tell if your doing the same but theres no harm in making sure your arms/shoulders are relaxed and that your legs are doing the work. You ll know when you ve got it right cus with your power 55kgs will fly up.

Have you ever tried lifting from blocks? might be worth a try because you obviously dont have the momentum off the floor so you have to extend properly to make the lift.
 
I think this time I extended better but I agree that there is still lots of room for
improvement. Tomo, I am sure at the right time my coaches will address the
issues . For the time being I was told to focus on not pulling prematurily
with the arms during the snatch.

sorry, got a bit carried away with the advice, forgot you have coaches!
 
Extension does look better in those ones. Doesn't look like you pull with your arms at all, just a lot of speed!! Had to watch the snatch video a few times to catch anything. Looking nice and fast, keep up the hard work!
 
thanks guys.

coaches said I need to
- not pull with my arms until I am fully extended especially with snatch
- make the bar touch my hip
- go into the hole immediatley - kind of like jump up and jump down
 
long lay off dont know why but I needed some rest. maybe I started too soon with a new cycle after the end of the season...

22.4
BSquat
3x5 110kg

FSquat
3x3 95kg

Push Press
3x5 70kg

these felt really good.

GM
2x15 50kg

As you can see I dropped two sets on every exercise except for GMs
where I only dropped one. Should stick with a reduced number of sets?
