Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

Interesting.

Can you see you're jumping forward on the snatch? That's because you aren't driving your hips through via your heels. This means the bar isn't going in the right place for you to catch it overhead.

More heels, please. :)

I appear to be accumulating some major tight spots, particularly right shoulder and right knee...knee started to feel odd on the later sets, this appears to happen when the weight starts to get heavier and my knees lose it...I also seem to have an issue with my right ankle collapsing, but it has been doing that since the beginning g of time...

How tight are your adductors on the right hand side, and how strong is your right glute med?

It would be interesting to see you do some unilateral (single leg) work do determine whether this is a pattern or biomechanical issue.

It could also be external hip rotation limitations (capsule, abductors) or potentially one Iif yiur lateral rotators not firing correctly... ever stuck a hockey ball into the area around your lateralhhip rotators (piriformis, gemellus, etc.)?
 
I believe I have stuck a ball in to thos areas yes but not for a long time, think I need to start off by actually stretcing those areas, I've got lazy.

Adductors in generaly are crap and short. I basically don't do single leg work as it just ends up hurting my knees, probably due to not tracking properly, either way I'm loathed to do any as it'll put me back a few weeks yet again. I'm just a little confused as to why it would lead to my ankle bending inwards like that.

Pleased with today, PP destroying me as usual but hopeing it will improve some more this cycle. Enjoyed everything else no end, snatch work seems to be coming along (in terms of improving generally and finding it easier to shift weight), managed some more hang snatches at 40kg which I liked, just need to keep at it and remember all the little queues.

Because - whilst the camera angle might not be great - it's your whole leg that doesn't move out in the same way your left one does. I don't think it's your ankle collapsing, but more your hip not moving correctly.

Though I couldn't do BORs and deadlifts on the same day - dat posterior chain burn out!

Rather you than me! :D

Good work :) Have done lat pull downs in ages! In fact I may on my deload week just do lots of mobility and machine work... ROFL, sorry I heard that out loud - I couldn't keep a straight face!

Keep it up Delvis :)
