shoulders, torso and hips to maintain the overhead squat position that is used in snatch
progressions.

leave the ground as a result of explosive power production?: True - There are times during
the Snatch, Clean, and Jerk where one's feet will leave the ground as a result of explosive

this, they must stay "active" against the bar. The trapezius muscles are shrugging the
shoulders upward and the arms are beginning to bend to pull the lifter downward under the
bar.
17. Receiving position (snatch): The lifter aggressively meets the bar by dropping the hips and
pulling under the bar with the trapezius muscles and arms, pushing up against the bar to
lock it at arm's length.
18. Receiving position (clean): The lifter aggressively meets the bar, receiving it above the
clavicles, descending into the low squat position while working to rapidly tighten the torso.
