CoolCol and other Olympic Lifters...

Curious to know what you consider to be a "good" lift (weight wise) in the snatch.

For instance - I picked up the technique a little over 6 months ago and got up to a 208# power snatch from the floor. I'm 6'2", 235# with predominantly a bodybuilder's lifting history.

Appreciate the input.

For the average person, any OL lift over 200 lbs is good. Considering you've only had 6 months, and the lift has not been a main staple in your workout, 208 is very good.
