		<description>Thanks for the big reply Koing.  What&#039;s your background in lifting?

I&#039;m aware my form was not what it could be and have been working on learning the hip drive mostly and getting the bounce of my thighs in the clean.  The dip on the jerk I&#039;ve just about got straight down now and not so deep, but it doesn&#039;t feel that strong yet to be honest, I&#039;m having to unlearn a year pushing my bum back on the dip.

The snatch I&#039;ve been bouncing off my thighs too but really should start to learn hitting above the family jewels, not below.  That&#039;s going to be a bit change.</description>

		<description>overall pretty solid form and better then 90% of the videos I have seen.

Snatch, mostly solid, only negatives are you sort of slow yourself when pulling under the bar to go the bottom of the Snatch, again probably due to lack of practice prior to the comp, but overall the basics look pretty solid

Clean &amp; Jerk
Cleans are pretty solid, your elbows are a bit close but that is a trait of some lifters, ovearll looks good.

Jerks your front foot doesn&#039;t move forwards much and your back foot goes back too far = causing you to tilt forwards a bit and you have to rush forwards to &#039;recover&#039; it.

Dip : Do this with your back directly to a wall, if your bum touches your leaning forwards in your dip, your back should mover perfectly vertical and your knees push out forwards but just think practice dipping with your back close against a wall.  This will sort your tilt forwards.
-work on not dipping too low, this kills the stretch reflex action in the tendons in your knees that give you huge amounts of power

Drive : again drive up straight on to your TOES

Split: as your drivivng up on to your toes split your front foot forwards, it should go travel as long as your foot is.  So if you stand tall, stick your other foot in front of your foot that goes forwards.  Mark where the heel is, thats where your heel on the foot that goes forwards should be.  Your back leg shouldn&#039;t move backwards that much and bend the knee and the front of your foot, so that your heel is high, this makes your Jerk position better and stronger and deeper = you can lift more weight

Recovery with your front foot going backwards and your back foot going forwards.  You should be able to hold the Jerk in position if you have done a Jerk perfectly.</description>
