Snatch Deadlifts: Finding the Perfect Start Position to Fix Back Angle

Testing out an idea that a friend gave me to push the knees out at the beginning of the snatch, to get them out of the way so my butt doesn't go up. I only did a couple of snatches, but I worked up to some heavy snatch deadlifts, and the back angle stayed almost constant! Knees out, feet pointed out more, not too much but a bit, and the hips stayed down on the pull!
