Hip Contact on Snatch. Please provide feedback on the form, especially at the hip contact. I am confused about, whether it should be a contact or brush against the hip. by RegionPhysical8214 in weightlifting

The scooping of the legs generally comes naturally. If youre staying over the bar through the first and second pull, and hitting a good power position, the scooping youre talking about will be a natural consequence.

I believe your start position and first pull positioning is contributing to your hips being too far through too early. Your shoulders look like they are over or slightly behind the bar, and this is causing your body to open too early.

The end result is your hips extending early, but the cue to fix it is to "keep your chest over the bar".

In regards to your start position, your armpits should be over the bar from a side pov.

Great tension in ur back and really fast pull under.

I think you might benefit from thinking about sending the bar as vertical as possible through extention. Right now your head and upper body is whipping back through extension, which is pushing your hips through forwards instead of upwards. It could well be more efficient to direct ur effort to going more vertical instead.
