Just suck it up and get used to it until it doesnt hurt anymore.

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.
Faith, and some insanity.

What is a good progression for the full snatch?

Thanks!
Depends on whats fucking up and who's teaching you. I usually teach from top to bottom, others teach from bottom up or rather just teach the entire movement and let you find your groove. The exercises used will be different based on whos coaching you.
