135 lbs Snatch

Hi guys

please comment on my form…

sorry about the picture quality guys.

Great catch and over-head squat at the finish.

I think the biggest issue here is the excessive breaking at the elbows during the 2nd-pull. You “threw” up the weight instead of pulling and getting under, which is a greater feat of strength than a properly executed snatch, but incorrect non-the-less. This was closer to a muscle-snatch, which is a useful assistance lift for training the snatch, but not the optimal snatch form.

In short, work on eliminating pre-mature elbow breaking on the 2nd pull and use more hip.

Appreciate your feedback.

will work on the second pull.

Most of your power comes from your initial pull from the ground…as you on your heels and then on the balls of your feet… This weight is too light for you.
