The Olympic squat (aka high bar back squat) should closely mimic the receiving position found in the snatch — with the slight variance due to bar placement.

Key points of performance are:

1. Bar racks across the traps

2. Feet are rotated out 5-20 degrees

3. Hips are open to maintain stability of the hips and trunk

4. Range of motion is prioritized with a verticalized torso

5. The body sits down to the limits of ankle, knee and hip flexion
