Once I decided to just say 'Fuck it, jump and rack the fucking bar', stuff started to go much more smoothly than thinking of all kinds of bullshit. Especially not worrying about the bar dropping, or thinking I had to hold onto it, just jump and put it up there. Blah blah blah, nothing new. It's the same as surfing, snowboarding or skating: you have to commit to every wave, kicker, or ledge or your just gonna end up on your ass.

The best i can do is catch it in a military press position which has strained my shoulder and lower back from catching too far in front. what would you suggest as an alternative? hang snatch? high-pulls or lube the vag up and force it to happen. when doing power cleans, i cant get the bar racked across my shoulders due to lack of flexibility from 3 previous surgeries. and yes i have been stretching like its my job.
