Had a small breakthrough last week on my snatches. After watching some
video it's clear I miss 99.9% of my snatches in front because at the
bottom of my snatch/OHS position my shoulders dump forward/are
internally rotated. Basically imagine holding a glass of water in each
hand overhead, that's the external rotation position you're looking
for when you catch a snatch. Now imagine dumping the water out of the
glasses, that's my shoulder position. Awesome. My right shoulder
hasn't felt 100% for quite some time now and I think trying to support
loads overhead with my shoulder interally rotated has played a large
part in that. The top of my OHS position is fine, shoulders are in the
right spot, but as I descend shit just gets ugly. It's become clear
that I need to do some hardcore mobilization to improve my
positioning. To that effect, I'm not going to be squat snatching for a
little while, I'll continue doing power snatches because I can
maintain some semblance of external rotation but in the mean time I
need to mobilize the shit out of my hips, t-spine, and shoulders.
Until I can maintain sound positioning in the bottom of my OHS I won't
be doing full snatches.
