Thinking about lowering butt at the starting position. Put all stress on quads on the first pull. Keep arms relaxed. My arms looks too straight. Having trouble fixing this. Also I feel the weight is pulling my shoulders down. I have to engage the lats more.

Trying to relax arms. Let the arms slightly bent. It feels weird as I feel my lats pulling back but arms internally rotate slighty (am I suppose to feel this? Not sure). Also practiced with heavier weights and trying to keep the same tempo thru different weight loads. Still working on keeping the first and second pull connected. Sometimes still miss and start the second pull before finishing the first pull.
Trying to maintain same movement speed from different weights.

Practiced First Pulls then High Pulls.
Worked on getting that smooth feeling at the end of the first pull to combine the first and 2nd pull. Still making some errors when I speed up too quickly, and the bar gets bumped away from the body before it gets to the hip. Had a bunch of good ones today. The good ones felt smooth, bar sweeps in then effortlessly move up in 1 motion.
On the heavier loads I feel some load on my lower back rather than all of the load on the quads. Looking back at the videos I think my shoulder should be over the bar a little more.

Snatch 1st Pull & Panda Pull Practice. Thought process has been too much today. It went something like this, at setup, Feet are shoulder width apart, pinky knuckle facing the ground, arms relaxed, ensure bicep is slightly bent, internally rotate elbow. Then push shoulders back and engage the lats. When the first pull happens, make sure the lower back is tight. Lats are engaged but does nothing else. Once the bar is at knee high, push the bar inwards towards the hips.
Videos shown at heavier weight that legs slightly straighten, and hips are high, ,slightly rounding before the bar leaves the ground. I think it may be because that I am not used to that weight for snatch grip.
Practiced @40, 50, 60.
Also did the 3 supplementing exercises (Frog Walks, Tuck Jumps & Worm) and 5 sets of hand stand push ups.
2 Passed of Frog Walks
8×5 Tuck Jumps
5 Sets of Worm
