Since it was raining today and I usually do my snatches outside , I had to do them inside with a pretty low ceiling. I’m using Ironmind kettlebell handles and if I do the “flick” at the top like Pavel does on the videos, I’ll hit the ceiling. Using real kettlebells like on the video would not have this problem because of their shorter length.

So I flicked the weight around kind of early (when I got the weight at about face level). I also did the traditional snatch but with an exaggerated knee dip so I wouldn’t hit the ceiling.

I was wondering which one of these two techniques is preferable.
