These hang snatches should be pulled from the knee. On the descent from the hip, allow the bar to drop all the way to the kneecap before starting the drive phase. When descending, focus on keeping a tall chest and significant tension down your back side. The descent can be slow and controlled, but the drive should accelerate to the hip. When driving, keep your heels as solidly anchored as possible, this will allow the bar to travel further up your body before you rise to your toes. Allowing the bar to travel up the body is beneficial in that it will keep the bar’s trajectory tight to the midline and minimize the chance that the bar will loop way out in front of you.
