With all due respect to the lifter and others that took picture it was amazing that he had the speed, flexibility to get this amount of weight overhear in this low position. The amazing was very much overshadowed by the fact that he was not being able to recover from this position. Thus, "No Lift"!
I would liked to have seen the video of him is his drive and see just how far the bar traveled from his shoulders overhead before squatting in the position shown. I can probably bet that it was high enough for him to make a quick split and lock it out to recover from the split. I don't understand why lifters are still using the squat jerk?
To me it is a waste of time and requires much more energy and time making a successful lift.
I have always thought that the quicker the lifter makes a successful attempt in the snatch or clean & Jerk, the more energy he has for his remaining attempts. Think about it some!
Their is other possibilities that could happen in this style and the biggest is injury. This is putting the joints, ligaments and tendons in much greater harms way let alone the extending and stretching the muscle fibers above and beyond their capabilities.
Your using a far heavier weight at the bottom position in this style than you would for a snatch. Just think if it is off a little to the front or back and you desperately want to try a compensate and save the lift. What are you going to do? Take a step forward or backwards while in this position and risk stretching the shoulders and joints more with this shifting? At least in the split Jerk you can step forward or backwards in a better and safer position than in the squat and the leverage factor would be much greater in the split.
Well just some of my thoughts about this.
I have seen some do this style and did not go into a full squat and that seem to me to look OK. They would only go about half way down.
