Thanks guys

And yea, I'm just not used to dropping the bar haha.

You might try looking up a little bit on the squats to alleviate the chest dropping. Everything else looks solid otherwise though.

I looked up the affiliate. Are you at University at Queen's ? If so what are you taking, and good for you.

My biggest problems are my snatch, and my clean/jerk, so I'm going to put them at the beginning of all videos.

Here is todays video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8mBuA31sEk (WFS)

That's actually pretty good technique. You need to widen your hands out to where the bar is sitting in your hips when standing up into the snatch position. Once you do this you will notice more power into your lifts. Another thing to focus on is getting the bar "back" into your hips when lifting from the knee, Your starting to get pulled forward and that is what is causing you to jump forward and chase the bar like you are. Does this make sense?
