What it concludes

• A narrow grip on the barbell creates a higher finishing point while a wider hand placement feels more comfortable.
• Phase 1 teaches how to use your entire body and hips to move the barbell up.
• Complete or significant shoulder elevation should be avoided in the overhead position to prevent creating an unstable floating shoulder.
• Driving your head forward helps lock your shoulder positioning in during the overhead position.
• The power snatch execution differs from the snatch primarily in having a higher receiving position with thighs greater than 90 degrees.
• Snatch balance and pressing snatch balance drills help build confidence in dropping under the barbell.
