ALMOST snatched 275lbs on saturday.... SO fucking close. well i basically snatched it three times just couldn't fucking finish it off...
Unfortunately I jammed my thumb pretty bad on a miss/flame out tantrum on one of the 275's. looks like it'll be squatting and conditioning this week!
I also snatched 255 and 265 leading up to my attempts.
Getting back into it slowly and feeling strong, just inconsistent at the moment.

your foot is too far outside of your hips and your arch drops, forcing your knee to collapse. the valgus knee pulls your hip out of its externally rotated, tight position and you can no longer maintain tension at the pelvis so your spine destabilizes and your limbs shut down.
dont let your feet move so much in the air after your second pull. its just a quick pop up and back down almost in the exact same position you start in, you shouldnt just splay your legs out too
