Keeping Bar Close in Snatch

Training Powerlifting
1

I have been struggling a lot lately keeping a good bar path in the snatch. It seems like with heavy weight I am constantly jumping forward and chasing the bar forward. If I try to correct this I loop the bar and lose it behind. I have tried internally rotating my shoulders on my set up, but then my lats do not stay tight. Any help would be much appreciated.

My record is 134.5, but lately I have only managed 130. This has been going on for about four months now. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Some videos would help.

But I would not internally rotate your shoulders in your ‘set’ position. Instead, shove your chest forward by extending your t-spine and try to keep it there through the duration of the lift. This will cause your lats to be tighter, and don’t forget to sweep the bar in as well.
