i really need to get down lower and "catch" the bar
I know! I was actually expecting him to be more explosive off the ground, though it was in the middle of the lift where it came up quick and he got under it.
Youtube saves the day, type in 'Olympic lifters' and you will be greeted by this bloke as the first search result.

His lifts are most probably world class, but I'd prefer to not lift at all rather than to getting around with man boobs and a keg.

You should search a bit longer.[...] 'Olympic lifters' [...]

Thats the thing, this is a BB/fitness forum, not a competition weightlifting forum, for me it's looks/size first, strength second but I understand that everyone is different although reading through the 'Why do you train thread' almost everyone lists looking better/size ahead of strength. Pretty much my point.what he looks like probably does not matter to him, a gold medal and a place in history does.

How is today different from any other day then Fadi?
snap........
Practice this with a plastic or wooden dowel about 1.5 meters long.
SET POSITION
1. Bar over base of toes.
2. Weight on front of feet w/feet flat.
3. Hips lower rather than higher.
4. Shoulders directly over the bar and arms hanging down vertically by the outside of the knee joints and elbows should be pointing toward the ends of the bar. Also, shoulders should be slightly forward and down (traps stretched).
1st PULL
1. Drive knees to rear while keeping the torso in Set angle
2. As that happens, balance goes to heels(it should feel like your driving your shin bones down through the heels on an angle.)
3. Sweep the bar inwards using your lats to make the bar do a pendulum swing towards you. (video yourself and see if you're making the bar come in diagonally towards your hips.)
4. Continue to drive up as the bar moves diagonally towards your hips. (As the bar nears your hips, your torso will tilt forward slightly. That's correct.)
The double-knee bend occurs as you reach about 95% of knee extension.
1. Keep you balance over the heels throughout this movement.
2. Allow your knees to travel forward and raise you back slightly.
(don't over do or over think this.)
You should now be in a position in which your shoulders are still slightly forward of the bar, you knees are bent to a greater degree(about what you would use to jump on a .5 meter box), your hips are slightly lower, your torso is raised and your balance should still be over your heels. From here, you start the explosive hip extension of the 2nd pull.
2nd PULL
1. Drive your hips upward with explosive force.
2. Allow your torso to get to a verticle position as your hips continue to extend towards full range of motion.
3rd PULL
1. As soon as your torso reaches verticle, (your bodyweight is probably over your forefeet now and your heels may be off the ground), shrug and pull with your arms to accelerate your descent.
2. Drive your heels back into the platform as quickly as possible.
3. Keep your torso facing as forward as possible as you squat.
If it was a snatch, the bar should be over the back of your head with arms reaching up and shoulder blades(scapulae) pressed together. If it was a clean, your elbows should be facing forward and your shoulders also should be forward, in front of the bar.
