2. Snatch from below to above the knees

1 As you pull to below the knees, your shins need to come to 90 degrees with this ground. This will be your strongest position. 2 If you’re having an issue with the weight rolling to the outside of your feet, as you force your knees out, a more toe out position is probably best for you. 3 Focus on maintaining a full foot contact with the floor. This will create the best leg engagement throughout the lift. 4 Keep the shoulders in front of the bar as the bar passes your knees. 5 Weakness in the back will cause the weight to pull you onto your toes as the bar passes the knees. 6 During your warmups, train the movement slowly to build strength and learn the positions. 7 Snatch grip deadlifts are also an important tool for training strength through these positions and should also focus on controlled movement and feeling the muscles
