Hook grip for snatch and clean

[bigRick]

Could someone explain the "hook" grip to me. What I've been doing is wrapping my thumb around the bar, then wrapping my index and middle fingers around my thumb. I do'nt know if that is the correct grip for the oly lifts, maybe someone could help me out.

That's exactly how it was explained to me.

I agree
