It's not just risky, it's also counter-productive; the muscles you train by snatching are also going to get training form you controlling the barbell during its descent.

Not really. You can do snatches for reps but dropping it from overhead after a successful lift is normal. It's what would be done in a competition.

I know almost nothing about lifting weights, but in a competition you aren't trying to build strength, you're trying to show off what you already got. Training I would expect to be a little different.

Cool, thanks :thumbsup:
