I cringed watching Buck Ramsay finish the lift after twisting round like that.

I've got one of those IM DVD's of some Euro tune up competition before the Atlanta Olympics. I can't remember the name of the lifter but he did that twisty turny thing and was walking all around the stage trying to lock it out and the judges wouldn't give it to him. Man was he pissed.

It looks much worse that it is. Snatches are very light for the legs once the lifter gets under it so some wiggle wont do damage.

I was thinking more of the uneven loading on the spine.
