    Hello Rip,

    I have been playing around with the Oly lifts recently and wanted to get some feed back from you on them. I have done my best to learn from watching the videos you have provided on this site.
    Im using the b&r bar, It's very good.




    Thank you.

    These look pretty good. I can't coach from one video of one lift, but I see a 2nd pull, a drop to rack the bar, pretty straight bar paths, decent explosion. Keep at it.

    Thanks, it's a good to know its coming along okay.
    I have had a few scares with failing reps, mostly snatches. Is there a way you like to teach this, any safe pointers? Or do i just get the fuck out the way? ha ha
    I have started practicing failing light weights at different stages through out both lifts i.e. when in overhead squat down deep during the snatch dropping the bar behind the head and in front.

    Don't spend a lot of time practicing a miss. You might get the idea that it's okay.
