Proper Grab Start

I've always been taught to use a track start but recently i've tried a grab start and it felt more natural for me. How exactly does one do the grab start? How much do you bend your knees?

    The amount of bend in the knees should be similar to the bend that a basketball player uses during a jump-ball. Bending too much makes it difficult to make a quick and powerful start. Moving into a comfortable position that allows for a power position to be established is key. Keep working on and good luck.
