The Single Best Exercise:The snatch-grip deadlift

The Single Best Exercise

by Charles Poliquin
What's the most beneficial yet neglected exercise I can think
of? The snatch-grip deadlift, specifically a snatch deadlift on a
four inch platform. The idea here is to get a large range of motion
by standing on the platform and using the wide grip.

If you told me you could only perform one exercise to put mass
and strength on, then I'd tell you to do the snatch deadlift on a
platform.
This exercise alone makes people gain weight like crazy. Any
time I have someone who needs to gain weight fast and doesn't have
a whole lot of time, I have them do snatch deadlifts. And with the
snatch grip deadlift, straps are okay because you'll be doing reps
above three, but don't use them until you get to your working
weight.
If you think about it, this is the opposite of the sumo
deadlift, which shortens the range of motion. Likewise, some
powerlifters will lift in ballet shoes to shorten the ROM. What we
want to do here is lengthen it. The snatch grip and platform will
take care of that.
