There are two great options for your overhead squat grip-width:

  1. Use the same grip you use for the snatch
  2. Use a grip slightly-closer than (1.). Although it requires more mobility, it’s definitely more stable.
  3. (Bonus) Front squat if the overhead position isn’t stable. You’ll still have to keep a vertical torso to be successful for the volume of reps required today.

To be efficient with toes-to-bar or knees-to-elbows, good kipping is mandatory. In the above photo you can see Sean hitting an arch with bent legs before the hollow so he can easily bring the toes up to the bar.
