in every single one of those last 3 snatches your feet slide out and rotate externally and your knee collapses just prior to you trying to squat out of the hole. wanna know what is happening?
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
i was with you for a second and then i read the bolded section and stopped reading.
unless you mis-wrote, there isn't any movement "in the air after my second pull" since I'm still driving through the ground to create bar speed during the second pull.
also, if you actually knew anything about weightlifting you'd know you HAVE to move you're feet. i set my feet where they are so i can make sure the pull is long, then move them out to catch in a more stable position.
i'd have to agree though, during the second miss i definitely exaggerated my bottom position because i wasn't able to finish my pull and had to spread out further to try and adjust under the bar.
