You don't have to be a coach to give great advice, and you gave great advice.

Here's the deal, I used to be very good at the Olympic lifts, then I went back to powerlifting and my body forgot how to do them properly so I'm working back up. I have never been able to full snatch over 185 and 185 was iffy most of the time. Right now the thing is that I am strong and able to snatch 145, I'm just chicken shit. I need to just suck it up and dump the bar if I screw it.

I used to power clean 295, rack jerk 315, power snatch 185. It sucks to be struggling with 225 cleans, and 135 snatch. I have a long road ahead of me lol.
