Snatch Pulls...

1st off, great post..... I stopped working snatches, but this sounds like a good alternate to the kettlebell swings and pull through movements I've been doing


Myosaurus...... hook grip is when you grab the bar with your thumbs inside of your first finger. So you grab the bar tight and your thumbnail should be behind the 1st knuckle of your 1st finger. From there you squeeze the shit ot of your thumb. It lets you deadlift double-overhand but it hurts like a motherfucker

That's probably the best description of hook grip I've seen.

Thanks. Most don't know this but the Oly assisting lifts are JUST as effective as the classical lifts (Snatch and Clean & Jerk) in building explosive strength/speed. They also don't put you at a high risk of injury and they are also much easier to learn (it doesn't take years to master the technique).
