Very strong and looks good for someone with no experience! Your speed diving under the bar is pretty good too. Becareful with your wrists. I see that you jammed your wrists into your knees a couple...

At 14 and you are already asking this question then you either need to re-evaluate your goals with this sport or quit. Of course you have a future in a sense that there's a lot more weight you can...

Tian Tao is young and promising. This is merely an educational experience for him. They know he wasn't going to win.

If you can only afford 1 month's worth of membership, don't do it. What makes it worth it is if you can be a part of that weightlifting club, build relationship with other members there, be...

There are several school of thoughts regarding this. The Chinese coaches for example typically cue their athletes to shrug at the top of the 2nd pull as well as extending their ankles. Jon North (the...

My suggestion is to continue lifting and let your genetics naturally express itself in whatever ways it want to. Otherwise you are letting what society's definition of what shape a woman should have...

I think this is what Olyw8lifter is referring to: youtube.com/watch?v=12dDRJETSD0
Good to warm up with. Personally, I like the hip clean/snatch better. But the idea is similar.

As previous comments mentioned already, your heels are leaving the floor too early.

You're pulling the bar too high. If you drop rock bottom to catch a bar that high, the bar will crash on you...

Practice some pause squats. Practice catching the bounce. And then squat some more.

This lift is used as an accessory lift by olympic weightlifters to strengthen their receiving position for the snatch. The snatch balance is a similar exercise. I don't know if there's a solid ratio...

Besides the physical, olympic weightlifting is very demanding mentally. It will challenge your concentration and it will give the term "digging deep" a whole new meaning.

You will come out more...

Your catch looks pretty scary. Try not to catch while locking out your hips and knees. Try to catch in at least a 1/4 squat position. And your torso was not tight either. Take a deep breath to...

Looking at the locations of your elbows and shoulders, it doesn't look like you're doing the hook grip. So start using the hook grip. Your starting position looks more like you're ready for a...

^^ What he said for the snatch. You won't be able to move the weights around your knees like that when you go heavy though. So maybe post a video of you doing a 1RM. It's good that you're not letting...

OW does take some getting use to. Start taking fish oil and glucosamine for your joints. And like what others have said, warm up properly, foam roll regularly, eat more, and sleep more.

try spending more time warming up with your new shoes and not go heavy yet.

Does your knees cave in as well? For me, I notice when my upper body wilt down like you said, my knees start to cave/bow in as well. And when i just try to consciously pull me knees out so they track...

The belt is just a tool. Using the belt to train with light weights will make you reliant on the belt and will result in a weak core. Your clean and jerk, back/front squat will suffer once you start...

Get rid of the belt.

You're ok. Keep practicing. It seems like you don't finish the second pull and so the weight floats forward. But like faparama mentioned, keep at it and it'll come.

[QUOTE=Ensix;969843913]I think I squat ATG just fine:

In that case practice SNATCH BALANCE to prep you to go into the deep squat for the catch.

Also practice snatch grip press at the bottom...
