I would normally be right up for it, esp against a guy with 30kg less bw on me, but I don't know what my training situation will be like in 2 weeks. I'm very likely moving to Charlotte, NC to do graduate studies in which case I will amost surely not have access to oly lifting equipment, or I'll be accepting a job in an area where I will very likely have access to transportation and bumper plates. I looked at Charlotte on google maps, and while there are a lot of oly gyms/crossfits, none of them are anywhere near the university and I won't have a car either and its highly unlikely there's going to be anything walking distance that has bumpers. I'm also in the interview process for a job that's relatively local, and if I get it I'll still be able to train at the same place I've been for a while. It's been a great 8 months working at a gym and doing the 2 lifts 5 days a week consistently with bumper plates. I've kinda taken it for granted though. | ||

Here's a good video on how to position your feet in the jerk. For the snatch balance, your positioning looks very good. Only problem I see is that you are "jumping" to drive the bar up. Dip and drive like the jerk but just slide your feet out to the side. Watch his feet. He drives the bar upwards and then slides his feet out. For the clean pull, always look forward. First pull looks ok, but you are rushing the second pull. Pull the bar up your thigh, but drive(pop) your hips when the bar gets to your upper thigh/hip. Watch where he drives his hips. ( 0:12) Just wait over the bar a little bit longer than pull. | ||
