This is still my personal thread. No one is allowed to post in here.
Anyway I picked up weightlifting the correct way about 5 weeks ago. I think I'm making good progress considering how new I am. Made a short comparison between snatch from last month and this month:

Overhead flexibility is an issue--that's why my elbows look bent, I can't really extend my arms to lockout in the overhead position. It looks like it's clearly gotten better from the video though.
Bar path has improved a lot.
My extension was also nonexistent a month ago, but it's there now, still cutting it short though.
Still embarrassingly slow, maybe because I haven't been using weights that I actually have to fully extend or fully squat for, but probably because I can't get under the bar for shit. I plan on doing a video like this every end of the month; didn't include C&J in this video since I was exclusively practicing snatches in September. My issues are similar with that though.
First meet in January, hopefully I don't suck by then.
