thanks again legend. strugglin with my speed under as a beginner weightlifter with a 55kg Snatch @ 87 BW haha. really appreciate your insight on my journey. bless up.
Assuming it's strictly a mistake or mental issue (ie not something like forward imbalance or not staying over long enough that's physically preventing a complete finish), things like snatch/clean with no jump/feet, pull/high-pull/pull to hold + snatch/clean, high-hang/power position/block snatch/clean.
I often break off the pull early in the warm-up sets because otherwise the bar flies so high that I catch it in the power position. Do you have any advice on how I can dose the power better and which exercises will help me?
You know what you need to do because you just wrote it - apply the appropriate amount of force for the weight. Don't pull 50% like 90%. The goal is to execute the same motion, i.e. complete extension - you can do that at any weight, but you need to reduce how much power you're putting into it. Then pull under can (and should) always be maximal speed/effort. See this - ua-cam.com/video/8JVAngCmYRU/v-deo.html
I've noticed that I kinda lean forward too much in the snatch and kinda dive under in order to get lower or something. It sometimes causes the bar to be too much behind or a missed lift. Any idea how to fix it
Put your body in the correct position in every point of the lift, which requires you actively make the bar come to you. In your example, you're likely allowing the bar to stay forward as you finish the pull and pull under, which forces you to lean forward to get under it.

GOAT weightlifting explainer, and dare I say trainer
Great piece as always, insightful, practical and funny - thank you. With a shout out to the 'double whammy backfire' as something best avoided.

Thanks for explaining. This is helpful.
I don't think I've ever felt this level of personal attack until this video. 😵💫
I commented this video just at the right time, not early
I for one feel personally attacked by this. Thank you.
I suspect Greg sees everything I do at the gym, always watching and then posting a video about my shortcommings
very good! what do you suggest to train to correct early pull?
