Hanley's Log of The Great UnF'ing

[Bryan Dobson]

Are you trying to address something specific with the flooding of the snatch grip deads ? or are you trying to just get a bunch of volume and keep the load down? i just have never seen them used as a primary pull.

They're a compromise. I have four 30-45 minute windows a week to work out. So I'm doing them with a press movement, chins and some gpp fluff. That's it for now. The odd thing is I'm suddenly putting on a lot of muscle.

[Bryan Dobson]

I like the movement as it hits my upper back hard as well as works my legs in a different way while the mid and upper back have to hold a good position through a longer range of motion.

I was curious since they are progressing nicely for you as is your frequency of the movements.

Watcha doin Sn DLs for? I've seen it transfer well for an athlete who pulled big at raw unity this year. I'm wondering if it might b best suited for ppl who DL with no flexion in the spine. Just a thought really.

505 snatch grip is boss.

How long until the deficit deadlifting starts?

My deadlift form fell to shit about 3 months ago. I was weak in all the wrong places. Zero back control. Terrible flexion. Shit lockout. Back pain. Snatch grips have unfucked all that. Had another trainer watch me, & he reported just a bit of flexion as the bar crossed my knees at 505. Hopefully it transfers. Pulling in a meet Aug 16. I will only consider myself successful if you accuse me of juicing.

I used straps. So a bit less boss. I hate deficit deads, which probably means I need them.
