Do find the no hook grips help? I was reading up on them and no feet snatches.
I have a weird quirk that we're trying to get rid of. When I release the hook grip I actually let go of the bar and move my hands in a few inches either side (old quirk that developed when I was injured and had a mobility issue)....which makes it impossible to stand up with anything heavy.
I snatch without a hook grip once a week to see if I can engrain the pattern of not letting go of the bar....only time will tell if it works

Good article here which talks a bit about grip, says to keep a good grip as long as possible and only loosen it just before the bar is overhead, I suppose with no hook you need to grip harder for longer.0 -

Thank's for the article link!
Keeping a good grip as long as possible is easier said than done though
that's why the no hook grip snatches are good for me cos it means I dont release at all.
Second weird quirk....if I concentrate too hard on not moving my hands then my feel dont move ether Accidental no feet/no hands snatches...hasn't happened in a while though
Any plans to compete soon?0 -

We're having a in house comp in June so I'm training for that now, I'm tempted to sign up for the Leinster open after it.0 -

BOOM....National Champ....by default:(
Saturday 7th of June- National Champs Belfast
There was supposed to be 3 of us in my weightclass (which was poor showing in itself)..but as it turned out I ended up being the only competitor in the 58kg class
Day started off a bit crazy, arrived in Belfast at 9.30 for the 9.30 weigh in and ended up getting lost for 45mins.
Weighed in at 56.5kg but I was actually surprised at this as I thought I was leaner at this comp that I had been at the last few
First time competing without crazy nerves Was just really excited, I knew training had gone really well lately and that I was due some niceness on the platfrom
Snatches
42kg, 44kgx, 44kgx
The 42kg was a beaut, prob the nicest snatch I've done. Was confident going into the 44kg, but on the first one I concentrated too much on keeping my shoulders over the bar and I ended up a bit forward on my toes and then the next attempt I reverted to my old habit and swung the **** outta it. Wasn't annoyed at the snatches, I knew I should have done more but it just didnt happen.
Clean and Jerks
52kg, 55kg, 58kgPB
Was uber confident with the clean and jerks. They all felt ridiculously light. I did however power the 58 as I really wanted to get it and I wasnt sure what my full clean would look like. Happy with the PB and there is a good few kilo left in the clean and jerk
Finished with a 100kg total which is a PB total by 2kg. Good day...but plenty to work on 0 -
