snatch-grip deadlift pulled from a platform, so the start sits lower still
the widest grip and the lowest start the catalog has: the longest pull, and
the hardest position the upper back has to hold
built to fix the break off the floor on your deadlift, which is what the extra
range makes harder
Execution
Stand on a 6-8 cm platform, roughly one thick plate, and set up over the bar
with your hands at snatch width. Strap in. Brace your trunk, flex erectors and
wedge yourself into the bar. Set that height once and note any change.
pull the slack out of the bar before anything moves
push the floor away, keeping the bar against your legs
hold your upper back position through the extra range at the bottom
finish by extending your hips and knees
lower the bar under control back to the platform
Use straps. This is assistance work, so run it after the main lift of the day.
