Old Forum Double Snatch: heels up or down?

[porvida]

Hello,

Can someone tell me what the SFG standard is for the double snatch?  Should one's heels remain planted or is it ok to drive off of one's toes and let the heels rise while driving the bells up?

I believe Return Of The Kettlebell advises to leave them planted.

I feel more powerful when I let my heels rise; similar to Oly barbell lifting.

 

Thanks

Once the weight gets heavy you'll need extra extension, but for 24kg doubles shouldn't be needed

And unless your going for the cert why worry about it. If you feel great going on the toes the haven't it.
