It is often called a Sotts Press but it is when you are at the bottom of the snatch – then bring the barbell behind your neck and press overhead.

No jumping!! Just let it rest, it needs time to heal. Back off the volume, no dynamic work and rest for the next week.

What do you mean it is hell on your midline? Unable to pull the barbell in close to you? Your back gets fatigued?
