Unstable shoulders
Hi Coach. I have 2 problems in the overhead position. In the snatch, my right shoulder can't stay in place when trying to get a stable rack position. I pinch my shoulder blades back maximum and have tried several different positions, but when the whe
Snatch Balance
Hey coach I want to know what a typical SN Balance routine would be for you because I usually try 5x3, with 2 sets at one weight and 3 sets and a higher weight, but I get easily fatigue when I try to do more than 2, especially when the weight gets he

Scraping chins
Is it a flaw in technique that causes me to scrape my chins on the snatch in the 1st pull, which is really painful, or is it normal? If it is a problem what should I do to fix it, and if not are there any device that I could use to protect my chins?
Where are your elbows pointing in the snatch?
Hey Coach, we're having some confusion at the gym. I was taught that in the overhead squat position, as you lower into the squat your elbows turn down and back. This ensures you have good scapula retraction and allows for a slight torso lean at ful
Shoulder Mobility
Coach, I have a tendency to lose even really light snatches forward in the bottom position. I've also been having the same problem with my jerks (looking more like incline presses). Is there any way to improve my shoulder mobility, or is it probab
