Exercise Description

The snatch grip deficit deadlift builds explosive hamstring power and improves your regular deadlift. It hits your hamstrings harder than normal deadlifts.

How To

1. Stand on a 2-4 inch platform holding a barbell with a wide snatch grip, hands almost at the barbell collars. 2. Start with the snatch grip deficit deadlift bar over your mid-foot, chest up, shoulders back. 3. Drive through your heels and push your hips forward to lift the bar up your legs. 4. Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire snatch grip deficit deadlift movement. 5. Lower the bar slowly back to the platform by pushing your hips back first.

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders pulled back during the snatch grip deficit deadlift to protect your lower back. • Drive your knees out and keep them tracking over your toes. • Pull your shoulder blades down and back to engage your upper back muscles. • Focus on pushing the floor away rather than pulling the bar up for better snatch grip deficit deadlift form.

Common Mistakes

• Rounding your back during the snatch grip deficit deadlift puts your spine at risk of injury. • Letting the bar drift away from your body makes the lift harder and less safe. • Starting with hips too low turns the snatch grip deficit deadlift into a squat instead of a hip hinge.
