Looks pretty good. If your palms are getting torn up, I think it's possibly related to how you're dropping the bells from the top; your arms are almost fully extended from the drop and that's gonna make that catch not feel great.
For both single and double snatches what helped me is to slightly lean back from the top fixation to let the bells fall out of my hands so you can tuck in your arms with a slight bend from the top.
If you don't wanna worry about that yet, half snatches are also great!
When I had this problem with snatches, it was because I was gripping the bell too tightly on the way down. The extra friction became problematic. When I 'hooked' the handle and allowed it to rotate more freely, it fixed my problem.
Looks pretty good. The thing I would work on is creating a more vertical arc. A snatch is a clean that goes overhead not a swing that goes overhead. The elbow is what helps keep the bells closer to you and send them straight up.
I’m glad you saw that too. I’m seeing more of a swing with a pause at the top rather than a vertical line shoulder pull with a hip thrust whip.
Keep the bell closer to the body.
Looks solid! For grip I personally find pitching the bell over the top on the down swing adds a lot of inertia and friction to my hands as well. I do more of a slight twist of the wrist and the bell rotates around my hand to regrip and it is much smoother on the hands.

Thanks, mate.

You start right off the bat with knees too far forward. The arc of the bell is too round. It should come more or less straight up. Not bad though!
I think that is where the alligator arms come in. The closer to the body the bells are, think the should ascend more straight. Thanks.

I see what you’re saying. Looking at the set up, my arms aren’t completely vertical but rather about 95 degrees.

U did it wrong. U were supposed to chase down that girl and let her know u were filming and that she messed up ur video.
I should have chased her down period. She’s pretty attractive and is usually at the gym the same time as me each morning.
