Snatch Grip Deadlifts

I’ve used straps in the past when I do them. I was using them to add more upper back emphases into my deads. If you are doing them soley to improve your grip for your snatch than I can see using a regular or hook grip, but I can’t see that doing anything valuable for you in terms of added ROM for your deadlift or upper back focus. The weight will not be heavy enough.

Yeah, I find my hammies and glutes get more emphasis due to the low position.

ESPECIALLY my glutes. Plus my lats are sore the next day. I’ve been doing the snatch-grip deadlift for a few months now. I’m aware that I can deadlift more weight with a closer grip, but I love this exercise.
