hey i have an idea, it sounds strange i know, but has anyone ever tried a snatch grip rack pull? wouldn’t this really help the lats more than conventional? you could keep the weight as heavy as a normal off the floor conventional deadlift, but get the upper back and shoulder girdle worked very hard, you would most likely need straps/chalk and hook grip.[/quote]

Whenever I do rack pulls, I’ll use a hooked snatch grip and yes… they’re phenomenal once you get heavy.

Whats all this supposed to achieve, just curious? You just want to do some crazy shit for the sake of doing crazy shit or are you trying to achieve hypertrophy?

IF you just want to do crazy shit, do snatch grip deadlifts from a deficit to failure, then ask your training partners to remove enough plates so you can hang snatch the weight (overhead) without letting go of the bar. Once youve done that do overhead lunges to failure and then dance the macarena without missing a step (with the bar overhead).

If youre trying to achieve some hypertrophy, put on size and lean out (as this is a BODYBUILDING forum) then try doing some crazy shot that actually works, that allows you to progress consistently and add mass.[/quote]

possibly the funniest shit I’ve read today. I pictured him doing that in my mind…lol
