The Finish
Your Change of Direction and Turnover Are Slow
The fault
A slow, drawn out transition from pulling up to pulling under.
Why it happens
The turnover is the part of the lift where hesitation costs the most. A slow change of direction means the bar is decelerating while you are still deciding what to do.
The fix
The hip squat muscle snatch, from Ursula Papandrea. It forces a quick change of direction out of the hips and doubles as a turnover and timing drill.
