To lower a behind neck jerk I do a slight bend of the knees to decrease the distance the bar is to the ground. Then I start a controlled negative with my arms and re-straighten my legs to get my body closer to the bar again. After my arms can't restrain the bar any more I let it fall to my shoulders (i.e. traps like a back squat) and rebend my knees to cushion the weight. Then I walk it into a squat rack. I am not a strong kid for my power, e.g. I can't atg front squat over 260 or military press over 180 but I have done a 286 behind neck jerk and lowered it in this method. I usually avoid dropping the weight to the ground if I can but you have to be prepared to drop if necessary. You should always be ready to miss for the sake of safety.

I'm 40 years old and new to the snatch; I've only been at it for about 3 months. The gym I train at has no bumpers and does not allow the dropping of the weights. In the hang power snatch I'm now using a weight of 145 lbs and have only missed the lift once. When I missed I just lowered the weight behind my head to my shoulders. My training is obviously hampered because I can't push myself, and I'm unsure about how to learn to do a full squat snatch because if I miss in the bottom position I don't think I can do anything other than dump the weight. Pretty soon I think I'll have no choice but to buy some bumpers and a bar and train in my driveway.

id say get yourself a lifting mat, those nice mats that you can drop non bumper weights onto, we jsut got some at my school and theyre really nice...it all deepends on how much your student can do though without droppign it, sometimes if i **** up on a clean ill have to drop/throw it or else itll fall on me and crush my knees or something, so you should be aware of that
