are you going to buy a pair?
I would go with a lower weight, 90 or even 85. The jump from 65 to 90 or 95 is very extreme and snatching that amount of weight without the proper form can hurt something. Just make sure your form on Snatches are good and you don't have the KB smack you in the wrist. Put it this way, if you can do 10 KB snatches with the 65 KB with your hand going around the bell and not having the bell fall on your wrist/ forearm then I would get a higher weight if not then get a lower one. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying them, I'm just looking out. I mean you will end up using the 95er at some point if not higher.

Also, are you doing double 65lbs swings? If so how many rep are you doing?
