OK. Here's the score. I finally got my book from amazon called Olympic Weightlifting: A complete guide for athletes & coaches by Greg Evertt.
In the section about starting on working the snatch, it talks about the best way to find where your hands should be. It instructs they should be wide enough to hold the bar (against your hip) that when you lift your leg the bar doesn't move. it also discusses the hook grip.
Now, my question is what do i do, now that i've found the right width that the author is talking about, but maintaining a decent hook grip is just not viable, but a traditional overhand grip is?
i'm working on the overhead squat, hang snatch (position), snatch pull & basic exercises to learn the first pull now.
