I'm missing less snatches thus...I'm getting better! My snatch technique is so much better now. I had a friend at the gym tape one of my snatches the other day and I was fired up when I reviewed it. I'm getting some really good explosiveness and extension. Also this was at 85% so it was a decently heavy weight. Only thing that I could have improved upon would be to catch it at the bottom. I tried to squat after I had caught the bar but I didn't go too deep.

While I need to work on my weaknesses (third pull, catching at the bottom) I've got to utilize my strengths. I have a very explosive and strong pull and so if I don't need to get under as much (i.e. down to the bottom) I don't think I should force it. I think what I should do is to try to pull that bar as high and as hard as I possibly can and jump as high as I possibly can. Then getting under the bar won't be as difficult.
