wider grip means you have to bent lower to get the bar.....that lengthens the ROM correct??

but obviously it works

hmmmm...maybe this makes more sense, if you have longer arms and you snatch grip it, it lengthens the ROM, but if you have average length arms (like myself), true, you have to get lower but it shortens your ROM?

 

[ChinkNasty]

also, all deadlifts and squats are done raw (no belts, no wraps, sometimes straps with the deads) unless otherwise noted

hmmmmm.......a wider grip for deads causes anyone to bend over farther...if you look at summo versus snatch grip from person to person, a summo grip allows one to grab the bar at a higher position(in terms of a squat- the hips are higher).......snatch does the opposite - those examples are, of course, the two extremes.

got ya...I tried snatch grip deads about 6 weeks ago and loved them (almost pulled 455 a liftime best for me) and stuck with them..maybe I hsould switch back to conventional double overhand grip...think there'll be any carryover?

I would think so....you would be shortening the ROM just a bit - so it should jump from the floor

If you are moving up on the snatch grip - Im not sure I would break the momentum

-little hungover, OHPs felt like shit today, tried doing a 185x3 push press in the front and it was heavy as hell, was gonna try to to regular push presses but did BTN presses instead because they were easier...haha, weird

Thats not a bad workout......if you weren't hungover you would have easily made all the flat bench reps, and the PP would have been easier.....but fuck it, you only turn 21 once in your lifetime......and it was good stuff considering.
