Thank you, yes 2020 was the year to invest in the home gym. I'm grateful to have it!First, sweet lifting platform set up in your house.
Those looked really good. If I were to be real picky here's what I would say:
Snatch: On your second rep you could have had your shoulders stay over the bar a tiny bit longer. Also, pinching your shoulder blades together in the bottom of the overhead squat might give you a bit more stability and allow your torso to lean forward a bit more, which will come in handy when the bar gets heavier.
Clean looked good.
Jerk: When the bar reached the overhead it dropped back down ever so slightly and then you were able to push it back up. I very picky referee would have red-lighted you for that.
I have the same problem. I'm guessing that you have a strong overhead press. I have a decent overhead press. What happens is that strong pressers tend to use their arms rather than really focusing on leg drive.I can practically press what I can solidly jerk.
A good video on stability overhead in the jerk, but I want to highlight this point in the video. Notice how in the overhead position Apti pinches his shoulder blades together just like in the bottom of the OH squat. I recently learned this myself.What's the fix for that -- just a really solid lockout and pushing up on the bar?
@Anna C - looks really good! Really nice extension at the top! Only thing I can't quite tell - are you taking the slack out first? I think I hear that click after you've started pulling, which to me would suggest you could get tight against the bar first before you start the pull. I imagine a real coach would see what I'm talking about, and if he thought it mattered he'd mention it.
@Anna C - I think your first one you definitely take more slack out than you were, and your second one looked good to me too. I think your third looked a little rushed - I'm not saying you didn't do it, but my eye may not be fast enough to catch it. With the caveat that I am not a weightlifting coach and I was never terribly good at weightlifting, one thing that I was told to do to prevent me from rushing off the floor was to pause after it broke off the floor, and then complete the lift. For me, the sequence went wedge into the bar - break off floor - pause - pull. In this case, pulling from blocks, that pause would be below the knee.
It might be hard for you to wedge into the bar because it looks fairly light relative to your strength, and often when the weight was light enough just wedging into the bar caused the bar to float off the floor (but that might just be my leverages). (I use the idea of taking slack out and wedging into the bar interchangeably, and wedging into it is a better "cue" for me.)
