Is there a maximum grip width for the snatch? I was under the impression that the pointer fingers had to cover the rings, but when i searched to find out how far apart hte rings are set on a regulation iwf bar, i could find no such rule. Am I mistaken? Thanks, a variety of google searches didnt turn anything up
as far as you want/need. most really tall cats go right out to the collars. Some smaller guys and gals ive trained with snatch where my clean grip is. there is no placement regulation.

thanks, didnt realize that
Index finger covering the ring’s match legal bench width anyway…
Shorter people have shorter grip because there is an ideal width before going too far out begins to hurt/damage the wrists.
There’s no maximum or minimum. The snatch is just getting the weight over your head in one movement. You take a wider grip so you can balance better and lift it a slightly shorter distance.
