So, it’s O.K. to ‘press out’ a One-Arm Snatch? Was this allowed when it was one of the contested Olympic Lifts? Were some of the older records as set by Hackenschmidt, Rigoulot et. al. done with a press out? I practice these as I practice the two arm version, no pressing out allowed. For me, a ‘press out’ is an unsuccessful lift.
Here’s Rigoulot doing a One Arm Snatch among other lifts. I don’t see much of a press out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=twOrN3J4cW0
