Snatch Grip Deads for Hamstrings

[NbleSavage]

I'm looking to rotate hamstring exercises and am considering snatch grip deads as my primary on hamstring day (would replace RDLs).

Any experience using SGDs to target hammies?

Peace.

SGD's work a lot like regular pulls for me with a lot of extra umph in my lats.

Ever try pulling sumo? Sometimes I use to those for assistance work and they hit my hams and ass a lot harder then conventional pulls.

they hit my glutes and hams hard since I have to get under the bar farther.

I've pulled sumo, might be a good sub / asst lift to focus on hamstrings as well (or in addition to SGDs). Good call.

Thats what I'm going for exactly.

Start light though. I don't know what you pull but I go with like 225 snatch grip. When you reach out it forces you to get lower under the bar. Just keep your back tight , with your arms out so far you can roll your upper back easy.

Good luck man hope this helps.

I'm not quite in league with you monsters, but I pull 550 conventional. 225 should feel "light" which is cool so I can groove the form. Thanks, Mate.

This is a good idea Noble. Ive had good luck with it.

If you want a break from it. Try pulling regular but stand on a plate.

Snatch deads will work quads more.

Try dimmel deads.

I somehow put the horror of dimmel deads of of my mind. Dimmel deads will toast your posterior chain like nothing else.

Bloody Hell...

Look up Dave Tate's video and do try them with bands. That's how I like to do them. High reps with bands. Like 4 sets of 15-20.

 

[NbleSavage]

Looks a lot like rapid RDLs performed in succession. You get this in the hamstrings before it fries your low back?

Why not some ghr's with some bands or weight too? Love ghr's

I love 'em too, but no GHR bench at the gym.
