Hi there, One quick question regarding reps. If the exercise is 85% 3*5 snatch. Should I after completing the first rep drop the bar on the ground, repostition myself and go right into the 2 rep or do I not drop the bar at all and do the all reps in the sett unbroken?
Personally I'm not used to unbroken sets with snatch and cleans when the % of max is 70% or higher

Stop banging the bar into your hips! You should be sliding the bar up your thighs and brushing it up the hips rather than slamming it into the hips and brusing them.

You should drop the bar and reset your position for each lift in the set. The set will be unbroken as long as you are near the bar (within reason). A few seconds rest or a couple breaths between reps should be good.
