Agree with both of you. For context, I started this thread almost 2 years ago and the earlier lifts are from when I could barely do the empty bar without falling over. Obviously they look like complete shit.
Here’s a more recent one from last September which is still where I’m at now. I think this is the best I can do without in-person coaching and having been stalled at this point for almost a year is what prompted me to finally do that. This is what my form looks like with a PVC pipe up to around 85 lbs.
It’s pretty clear that (among many other things), I’m not getting under the bar quickly enough so am basically muscle snatching the bar over my head, limiting the weight I can do. I’m hopeful the coach’s feedback about flaring toes out more will speed up my level change, along with clenching traps and lats back for more stable and upright lockout.
I’ll update this thread as I make progress and do more sessions with the coach. The fact that I’m still snatching less than I can OHP is just pathetic and is really fucking pissing me off.
