My Goat

I found my GOAT. I am terrible at snatches. I know that my technique is all out of sorts but that's probably due to the lack of reps for the snatch. Coming from a baseball background, I just never did anything overhead. I mean my jerk is starting to get better but it seems that I cannot snatch at all. I think its the catch in the low overhead squat position that gets me. My shoulder are not there strength-wise so instead of sticking it I bail and throw the weight to the ground. And its hard to work on technique because I workout by myself and second I am no expert on the matter. So here is the workout I did.
