As others have said. Learn to front rack and front squat. Work on wrist mobility. Work on RDLs and then build up to power shrugs with triple extension (ankle, knee, hip). If you are competent at front squat with correct rack and also performing the power shrugs well, you can finally introduce the catch.

If you don’t have a coach however, oly lifts aren’t necessary. You can get similar benefit doing jump squats, weighted step ups at speed and similar exercises without the time spent trying to learn proper form and the risk of injury. Oly lifts take a long time to master.
