I think your snatches would come a long way if you dropped under it more and fought the desire to try and muscle the bar up.
Does your coach program any snatch balances at all? This helped me learn to drop under a heavy bar a lot.
This is your BBC, right? Where's your coach at?
I filmed from the front today bc people were using the platforms next to me + I wanted to see if I'm making any progress with locking out my right arm. I think I am, but we'll see. I'll film from the front again at some point just for comparison's sake.
Coach has been programming a lot of snatch balances (see my last 2 weeks of programming) but I am aids at them. I can do them "well" with 95lbs but anything more is terrible.
I know that I'm not going to actually start getting better until I learn to get under the bar. It's just a matter of doing it....like abra mentioned, doing it at light weight is probably where I need to start.
And yeah, this was BBC but he was lifting on another platform doing his own thing. He should have been schooling me more though. I shouldn't be doing heavy weight if I'm not going to get under it.

Literally never have. I did a complex recently that involved pulls and floating snatches and on ONE of those reps I almost failed it behind. That was the first time, though. I liked it. I'ts not exactly a fear, though. It's like failing a squat. It was always in the back of my mind until it actually happened, and then I never cared anymore. I would take it as a big positive if I started failing behind, so we'll see how that goes.
