The correct grip places the wrists into a neutral position and the forearms and elbows are closely aligned with the torso. The typical errors we see in this step involves trainees rolling their hands up over the barbell, putting their wrists into flexion, and holding the bar in place with the heel of their palms often with their fingers off the bar entirely. This raises the elbows far too high causing... the bar to roll up the neck... The wrist should be put into a neutral position... and if the lifter can't maintain a neutral wrist, then a little bit of extension is preferable to flexion.
