I was taught that for Olympic two hands snatching one should:

1. Keep the wrist flexed (palm flexed towards the bottom of the forearm).

2. Keep the lats and triceps tight during the pull and explosion phase up to the completion of the pull-under.

3. At the pull-under point the wrist is flexed with the top of the hand towards the top of the forearm (screwing oneself under the bar).

I have been sticking to this form with one hand kettlebell snatches and notice the kettlebell stays nice and close to the body (I do follow the party line on keeping the wrist straight at the top/catch position, though). The wrist, lat and tricep flex seem to add leverage and power.

I also shrug at the top of the pull, which adds further momentum to the kettlebell. Are these technical fine points acceptable when transferred to kettlebells, or do they undermine what they have to offer by mimicking the Olympic form?
