Righto, let's try this again.
So, I like the last video a lot more. You're meeting the bar a good bit better with less crash. Or, you're going to the bar more so than just letting it land on you.
I still feel as if though you're a bit forward through the whole lift. As if though the entire time you're working from your mid-foot.
Note the way in which, in the last video, your chest comes forward a good bit past your center of base to catch the bar. This can be a combination of things but the root cause is likely being forward on the lift and also "hesitating" after punching your hips to then retreat them into the catch. There can be no hesisation after the punch in retreating the hips down onto the heels for the catch. There is no back and forth, only up and down. Snap the bar right up the shirt into the catch.
I'd like to see you open up your stance a bit in the beginning. As in, moving your heels away from each other a bit. Not a crazy amount, just an inch or two. Then get some video working from that set up int he above view and directly side on.
I'd really like to see some side on video to get a better idea of your sweep. I have a feeling, due to you being predisposed to coming forward by being on your mid foot, that your sweep is less than optimal and is being masked by you simply driving your chest up as opposed to having an "active sweep".
From the very start of the lift the bar needs to be moving in towards the hip. Being "swept" in. At light weight and by a lot of beginners a less than great sweep can be hidden pretty easily on the clean by just pushing your chest up.
To get a good idea of how well you're staying on your heels try some toe-unsupported high catches in either the snatch or the clean. Get something, preferably a square of stall mating, that will only elevate you 1/2-3/4 of an inch. Set up like you would for a normal lift but place your feet so that the ball of your foot is on the edge of the mat, your big toe completely unsupported. These are done very lightly at first. 50%, even.
This is a good opportunity to work on pushing your knees back onto your heels and sweeping the bar in towards the pocket.
I'm a bit scatter brained today. Hope that makes sense. Will review it later and see if I can make it more understandable.
This is a clean progression that I like:
They talk about the sweep, high pull, and catch. This is the way that I coach.
On a general WLing note it's important to remember that most coaches have their own "style". The way in which they communicate what they'd like you to do. My style is one where if it can be caught in a high catch it will with the lifter going where they need to be to catch the bar with no regards to power and "full" with the lifter driving through the heels as long as possible in all of the lifts. It doesn't mean one way is right or wrong I'm just throwing it out there to try and explain why some of my cues/input might sound differently from say, Jake's or Eric's. Even though we all pretty much agree on everything.
Find what cues and corrective exercises work for you, and use them.
