Well, you know, the weight doesn't register as much in the fully upright and locked out position. So I think your body is like "let's do this easy crap" and it isn't until all the leverages shift and the center of balance needs to move that you start to think "yeah, fast is not the answer here" but by then you are too late and reacting to whatever the weight is doing. The key here is to stay in control. Even a little out of the groove on a snatch is damn hard to recover from, and a little more than that is simply "drop it and get out of the way" time

Just tell yourself "I am Anuj, I am in control of this weight, it will do what I tell it to do..." then keep your head in the lift and bend it to your will. You are capable, just not focused at this point.
