Prasara Yoga Cooldown

I really wanted to focus on the proper technique for the snatch, hence the lighter weight. I used the second knee dip at the top of the snatch, to aid in getting the weight overhead. Similar to an Olympic snatch, you almost pull yourself under the weight, then stand up. I figured that I might as well use the stronger leg muscles in getting the weight up as opposed to pulling harder with my arms. This actually helped me get a better lockout position, allowing me to "roll" the bell into place in my hand. A few times I found the perfect lockout rest, where it almost seemed effortless holding the weight overhead...if only I could remember what that position feels like each and every time...
