A perfect example for how lifters with very long legs should lift. Calculating vertical intersect accurately was pretty difficult since the bar was at an angle and this lifter starts with the bar significantly ahead of the metatarsal phalangeal joint. First the ends of the bar needed to be located, then a line drawn between those points, the mid point of the line represents the center of the bar closest to center of feet. Then a vertical line downward from that point would represent the center bar position relative to the feet, this distance was measured. The measured distance was then taken to the end of the barbell and used to determine the proper position of the metatarsal phalangeal joint relative to the actual end of the barbell and not the camera angle.

Light Snatch Doubles to train technique and explosiveness. I am wearing a 10lb weight belt, 5lb ankle weights, and 2.5 lb wrist weights, for a total of 25lbs of additional weight on my body. I particularly feel the ankle weights help me with improving my explosiveness and foot speed. Moving my feet quickly to get under Snatches and Cleans, and the split for the Jerk, seems to be a recurring problem for me.
