Mistake #13 - Starting to teach snatches with a snatch grip That is the one I'd like some input on, I tried a clean grip snatch yesterday just a few to see how it'd go and I found it to be REALLY awkward. I'd much rather do a dumbell snatch than that a clean grip, I had to force myself to not clean it because that's what felt natural. With the clean grip I also felt like it was harder to keep the bar close to the body as with the snatch grip width. Anyone actually use/implement these? __________________ "And for crying out loud.
