Where you get that last little "bump" to accelerate the bar. With a clean grip, the contact pint is usually anywhere from mid-thigh to just below the pelvis. With a snatch grip the bar's contact point is at the hip. When the athlete has a wider clean grip, the contact point is going to be slightly higher than normal.Sarah and Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665557648340012143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202331164991493087.post-87202975814879109792011-03-17T06:35:20.818-07:002011-03-17T06:35:20.818-07:00It looks dangerous.

I use a very closed grip, and pull and extend as much as I can before I get under the bar. <br /><br />The closed grip was recommended by my physiatrist, he said that by using a closed grip I apply less stress on my shoulders, and my right shoulder doesn't become sore anymore.
