After attending The 2010 Mid-American Weightlifting Championships at WCS Gattone Sports Performance I changed a few things about my technique for this workout. I typically have my elbows relatively closer to my mid-line, but decided to have my elbows a bit more adducted. I felt a little more pain in my shoulders from the pressure and in my wrists from increased extension. However, this did encourage external rotation of my shoulders and drove my elbows up higher (to protect my wrist) which in turn tightened up my thoracic spine. I only tried this on my last set @ 145# as I was thinking of getting more work in the earlier sets and more technique on the last one.

~10min WOD
4 rounds @ 75#
5 Snatch grip DL
5 Snatch grip high pull
5 Power snatch (Floor to power position)
5 Overhead squats
5 Bent Rows

finished with 5 full snatches.

Definitely felt much better and stable with the snatch after watching Courtney and the other at the O-lifting meet. Definitely must externally rotate the shoulder when receiving the bar for the snatch. It just locks the bar into a much more stable position. I was tired after all of that, so doing the snatches really forced me to focus on my technique granted it was only 75#.

Grace

5:40

20 seconds slower than my PR.

My cleans were strong, jerks felt a little wobbly.

There are mirrors in the gym I workout at now. I noticed my right heel lift up on the jerk dip. I also noticed this in some old videos I reviewed recently. On another occasion, with Dominik and Amanda my right heel also came up during the dip phase of the jerk.

Are weight lifting shoes to answer to the problem? More flexible ankles?
