 Hey everybody today, we're gonna talk about the snatch grip deadlift snatch grip means a wide grip just like the Olympic lift The snatch where you bring the bar all the way up over your head Why would I do a snatch grip deadlift? I used to love this variation Before my hips really started to be a pain in my ass Just because if you're really flexible and you can get down into that position It's kind of nice right you get a little bit more feedback from your legs And especially if you're short and you have a leverage like me like you got good quad Involvement in this exercise. So all this is it's a wide grip and it's a deadlift, right? So if the deadlift I have to come down to about here With the snatch grip my hands are a little taller. So I'm gonna have to come down a little bit further So to get that extra motion usually you're not gonna just Take more of a bow like most people aren't gonna try to deadlift from here And I wouldn't recommend people generally do that as well. What I'm looking for usually and most is You have this RDL position to the knee And then you squat gradually Keeping your back angle the same Until you get down to the bar And then I just undo it so I unsquat feel tons of quad there And then I bring the hips forward To stand back up Right. I don't lead with the shoulders and arch my back and bring the hips forward to stand back up Why would I use a snatch grip deadlift? Um Really loads the upper body if I want to train a different range of motion for the hips It's a good accessory movement, right? It's a good variation of a deadlift If you've been deadlifting for a while and your deadlift is kind of stagnant you can Train the snatch grip deadlift to train a little bit more range of motion and and just give you a different target, right? And you'll see that as you build up this accessory movement It starts to actually carry you over into your main lifts Um all sorts of other accessory lifts that you can do that way Um other things that it's a good challenge for somebody who's really mobile Um, but I would I would say Be remiss if I didn't mention there is a caveat. You have to be pretty flexible I'm not usually giving this to somebody. I'm not giving at least a a narrow stance Let's I'll turn this way. I'm not giving a narrow stance version of this to most people Because you just run out of hip motion in that position Now I could probably make it. Um, but I don't want to Hurts my hips a little bit. So What you're generally going to have to do if you're most people is Widen your stance that's going to free up your hip motion more And then you can come down into the whole squat This one kind of grays the difference between a deadlift and a squat Right. I'm I'm still adopting a deadlift kind of pattern. I'm starting from the bottom and coming up But I'm bending my knees a little bit more and I'm driving with my quads a lot. So It's a good way to kind of mix the two. Um, it's good punishment to clients if they're late or If they're very sassy and you need to shut them up. I'm kidding. I'd never do that. I don't ever do that Um, snatch grip deadlift give it a shot
