A night full of snatch
Warm-up:
back squat (high-bar; to 2x2x225,2x2x245)
4x2 hang power snatch (45,65,75,85)
3x(1+1) hang power snatch + hang snatch (2x95,105)
2x1 hang snatch (115)
10x1 snatch (3x115 [f1],2x125,2x130 [f1],3x135 [f3])
The snatch scares the hell out of me. I've been drilling variations for the past few sessions to get over my fear of heaving the weight overhead. The first two bails were due to failing to scoot my feet out to a wider landing stance (more snatch balances needed). Last bail was just letting the weight psyche me out (last lift in video). I'm setting my arch decently on most lifts now, but I'm not holding my back angle constant through the first pull. May be worth repping some snatch deadlifts or pulls.
My lifts are slow as hell too. WTF?!? Time to take a rest day ...

At least it was good snatch...
Thanks for slowing the vid down, I can now see the leg drive transforming into heel lift and the move to a wider stance. It's really imperceptible at normal speed.
I thought your back angle looked good through the first pull on the early lifts. Maybe a stronger focus on high-bar (vs low-bar) squats may help?
The back angle shift is slight, but you will see right at lift-off that my hips lead a little bit and then the back angle is more constant. Could mean that I should just start with my hips a bit higher? Would be nice to have a coach take a look ...
I've shifted almost 90% to high-bar squats for the time being (keeping enough low-bar around to make sure my 1RM doesn't fall too much). We'll see what happens with that.
