The Hook grip, do you ever get used to it, as in no pain? I have gotten used to deadlifting it now with 225 with no pain. Can I assume that as I use it with heavier and heavier deads that I will get used to it?

Also, how do you gain confidence in the full snatch? I was going to full snatch 145 today but I pussied out. I could power snatch it to overhead squat, but the thought of snatching and dropping into a squat scared the beejesus out of me. What is a good progression for the full snatch?

Thanks!
