| Position your feet slightly inside shoulder width. Place your hands on the bar approximately 6 to 8 inches wider than shoulder width on either side. Make sure your shoulders are positioned above the bar and your back is flat. The angle of your back should be approximately 40 - 45 degrees to the ground. Lift the bar up to a standing position. This exercise will help you learn the starting position of the snatch. |
