The skill stuff programmed for today is meant to teach us all the proper way to begin the snatch off the floor and how to pull ourselves under the bar.  I've noticed that many of us start the snatch and the clean the same way we approach a 1RM deadlift.  This approach will almost immediately create problems for the lifter.  It comes down to the path of the bar.  If we can put the bar in the right path it will end in the spot we want it to.  In a traditional powering lifting style deadlift, we move the bar straight off the ground to a standing position.  In an olympic style deadlift, the bar will sweep toward our bodies and our hips will come to bar.  You will see what I mean in class today.  Don't miss it.
