I guess I’m going to have to answer this myself. I have done the Kelly Snatch only a couple of times (and had it once in my Dino Challenge) and NO ONE gripped the bar like that! Everyone had their grip facing the other way (palms facing the head when overhead) which to me seems like the natural position. I would think the stress on the shoulders would be MUCH higher the way Grimek is doing the Kelly Snatch, and would require LOTS more shoulder flexibility. Maybe that’s the reason he’s doing it that way. Our rules just say the “grip is optional” so it’s allowable. Al
