Snatch and Clean & Jerk Fun

Before extra X-chromosome Armageddon destroyed a wonderous opportunity to train, I was able to get a few shots of lifts to see what I actually look like while lifting with light weights.  I've noticed that I'm making contact more consistently at around my hip crease, which means I have better back tension and am loading my legs better, but I also still struggle with my follow through.

Of course, as always, I was able to figure out (with help from my instructor) *why* the lift didn't quite go so well.  Problems included starting with too narrow of a stance, not splaying my knees far enough during the lift, and losing tension at inopportune times.
