hamstring and glute builder through a longer hip range than a regular RDL
the wide snatch grip drops the bar lower at the start and pulls your torso
further over, so the hips travel through more range and the upper back works
to keep the bar tight to you
the extra range comes from the grip rather than the hips, so it stacks on top
of everything a normal RDL already does, and it loads just as heavy
Execution
Take a snatch-width grip with the bar against your thighs, feet hip-width apart.
Strap in. Brace your trunk, flex erectors and unlock your knees.
push your hips back, keeping the bar in contact with your legs
let your torso travel further over than you would on a regular RDL
descend until you feel a deep stretch in your hamstrings
pause briefly in the stretched position to maximize tension
drive your hips forward to return to standing
Use straps, and load it like any other pull.
