Biggest problem for me is sometimes getting under the bar at higher weights, I feel the bar getting into my chest and then I drop it, sometimes the hip thrust also fails... Any advice?
Biggest problem for me is pulling under quicker at higher weights. I end up power SN and OHS rather than one fluid SN. I don't have access to blocks, so have been training tall SN and SN balance, but still feel I am lacking in the pull under when training full SN at near 1RM loads.
Thanks for the tips. My problem is once i get to 135 i tend to muscle my snatch rather than hit from the hips. I do 95 easy, but once i start to increase the weight, my pull is terrible. Btw, these are only power snatch. Forget about squat snatch. I struggle to squat a 45 lb bar by itself lol. I tend to have to put my heels on plates to allow my shoulders to stay above my head.
Funny to see that all the "americans" are obsessed with external rotation in the catch, but in the bottom position have "a ton" of internal rotation. Go check out russian and chinese school. It's not all black or white.
My biggest problem is rushing from the bottom and not slowing down. And of course, I lose any power at the hip generated by the shrug (hope that makes sense).
My hangup has always been a weak shoulder from it being dislocated years back. OHSs have always been sketchy because I feel like it's ready to slip out of socket at any moment. Any suggestions?
I am female, 5' 11", 54 years old. I have unusually long arms, my reach from fingertip to fingertip is 6' 2". Also a fairly new cross-fitter (15 months). I have to have my hands all the way to the collar on each end of the bar to have it at the crease of my hip for snatches. I really struggle to get very much weight up at all and the arm position is difficult for me. I find when I get heavier, that I start moving my hands in a little bit which makes the distance I have to snatch greater, but puts my arms at an angle where I can handle the weight better. I really want to be able to get a little heavier on overhead lifts, but these are the most difficult for me. Any suggestions?
lockout - im hopeful these drills will help. thanks.

Two things are preventing me: The lockout and when I squat under it.
Shoulder mobility
Shoulder mobility.

WRIST PAIN definitely preventing me from snatching more weight
I suspect that it’s not an assumption, but a natural move that needs to overridden.
Idk where I’m supposed to look ... straight ahead, slightly above and my feet. Kinda flat footed Idk weak af ankles 😅😅😅
Two things are preventing me: A quick lockout and then bend my hip and knee correct when I squat under it.
Locking out my arms

not getting a good hip thrust
Nice

Getting under the bar in a low squat quickly.
Snatch grip pass over to receive position.

Lmao what is this? You want internal rotation, not external. Elbows pointing back, not down. Goddamn crossfitters
You just never know what we're going to do next
