Strong ballistic front raises, bro. Grin

You need to keep the bar much closer to your body, which means you'll go through a sort of "scarecrow" position (arms bent, elbows high and out). You're straight-arming the thing overhead (I wasn't kidding when I said strong).

This guy's form isn't bad.




These high pulls are an exaggerated version of what you need to be doing with your arms before dipping under to catch the bar, but it's still a cool video. Happy

Solid front raises Ste Grin Wink

You need more flexibility plus you need to pull the bar upwards and lock out under it...

I've not done massive weights on the hang snatch but have worked up to 70kg on the eleiko bar down at Bodyshatters; just takes time Happy

Im no olympic lifter but the bar is travelling far out infront of you, therefore your using alot of delts. The bar needs to stay in a straighter line and you need to be dropping under and catching it, meeting the bar

It depends on why you are doing them. Very high hang snatch like this would probably have very little carryover to anything other than weightlifting.

Hang snatch should involve dropping deep under the bar. your doing hang power snatch (power = catching the bar without dropping below parallel).
Start from just above the knee (hang position), in the vid you started from the hip and dropped down to the knee very quickly then bounced back up.
Also, in that start position, squeeze your shoulder blades and lift your chest up, your back seems a bit rounded.
And then just exactly what the others have said, shrug as high as you can then pull the bar up/your body under the bar, keeping it close to your body.

I think I have some hang snatches on my YouTube channel that may help

If you can't find it klokovs clips will be acceptable

Have another go Ste... Loads of ways you can improve them... Try and use your legs and drive your feet through the floor as you extend
