I love using snatch grip deadlifts to help out with my strength off the ground. Helped me get up from 455 to 500.Originally Posted by Frankdaddy

You gotta keep the bar close so maybe you might bump into your knees sometimes.

I don't think it's necessary to keep the bar that close to your body that it scrapes. I've never scraped my shins or knees when deadlifting ever.

your lowering the bar wrong when you come down if -the spot right above your knee? not actually on the knee cap am i right?- your knee gets bruised. Bend the hips back first and extend down from the waist and only bend the knees after the bar passes them

Excellent advice!!
Hips back first, as you drive the hips back the bar with lower and your shins/knees will move back out of the bar path.

to the last two comments...
does that mean my form is wrong?

07-03-2007, 03:12 PM #38Your form on the concentric (lift) could be just fine. It sounds like you're having trouble at the end, with lowering the bar. Just make sure that shooting the hips back is the first movement when you go to lower the bar back to the floor.Originally Posted by UnknownWarrior

no its just to prevent having your knees get all bruised lol i did the same thing when i first started and i had huge 2 inch bruises on my knees.Ive fixed form since then. And yes lowering it the right way puts your hips where they need to be but it wouldnt hurt your back lowering it like youve been doing, unless you do slow negatives or something. dont do deadlift negatives, bad idea. Lower it fast and under control but dont slam the weight back down

he means dont try to lower it really slow. Lower it under control but dont try to lower it really slow
the "negative" part of any lift is the lowering phase"Humility comes before honor"

"snatch grip" just basically means wide gripOriginally Posted by Frankdaddy
when oly lifters do a "snatch" they use a wider grip than they do for a clean and jerk"Humility comes before honor"

its just supposed to be a little dangerous. I have done it somewhat though and never had a problem. I have also done negatives with more weight than I could pick up but its generally not recommended
u keep asking "what would happen if this or that" or "am I hurt"
dude, if u were hurt ud know it, lol
Ive hurt my back a little deadlifting or doing stuff like jump shrugs..trust me, I knew it pretty much right away"Humility comes before honor"

how did you do negatives with more weight than you can pick up, if you cant pick it up?? The only way i can think of would be to have 2 ppl lift the ends of the bar up and then you step in and grab onto itOriginally Posted by John Prophet
