"when
learning the Olympic lifts for the first time i have found that the
following warm up is very helpful learning bar path requirements in
snatching. there are several steps in this warm up protocol. before we
go into this warm up, all students are taught foot position: jump (feet
under your hips) land (feet 2" outside hips with bent knees weight on
heals.) practicing jumping and going to landing is essential in the
understanding of: CREATING MOMENTUM AND ELEVATION ON THE BARBELL THRU (sic) A
RANGE OF MOTION!! understanding that the barbell in the snatch position
is approximately 8-12" above the head (a wide grip) and is held by
using the hook grip (thumb around the bar, fingers around the thumb)"
