Over at T Nation is an article about the Snatch Grip Deadlift.
A great variation with lots of benefits:
- Upper-back development
- Posterior chain development
- Assisting conventional deadlifts
- It can boost your vertical jump
I do 5 sets of 10 reps @60% of my current training max of them as part of my 531 BBB assistance work on deadlift days.
Highly recommend them.
