This is me trying out the snatch, hope form is ok, any weightlifters to judge this will be welcome.

It's more of a power snatch. You need to take a wider grip, work on speed and squatting under the bar as it goes above your head.

Thanks Del, I'll take aboard your advice. I wont go higher than this weight for a while and work on trying to pull the weight up faster and faster (speed), then increase it from there. Im mainly using the snatch as an aid for lower back work.

its a great site to pick up tips on oly lifting.

[TSW]

Its hard to tell but it looks like you are using too much arms, what I mean by that is the whole movement sort of looks like you are deadlifting (fast) into an upright row and cause its light for you, you can get away with it but there should be NO rowing involved otherwise you take the back out of the pull. Remember Arms bend - power ends

Don't know if you've seen these but they're quite good instructionals
