Ever Tried Snatch Grip Rack Pulls? Here’s an Explanation & Demonstration For You…

Snatch grip rack pulls are a great lifting exercise to overload the upper back and move some serious weight.

In this video, I demonstrate and explain how to perform snatch grip rack pulls safely and effectively.

After watching this, you should also check out my previous three videos on great upper back exercises: #1. Sternum Pull-Ups, #2. Neutral Grip Pull-Ups, & #3. One-Arm Arc Dumbell Rows.

Set racks up at usually just below knee height, however can be performed from knee height or above.
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and slight bend in knees. Grips should be very wide, as far out as comfortable.
Grip bar tightly and lift keeping bar as close to the thighs as possible throughout the lift, even to the point it is grazing your knees and thighs.
Perform a strong hip extension movement aiming to lock the hips out. Keep your chest up and your shoulders back during entire movement.
At the top of the lift squeeze your shoulder blades back, before lowering bar closely to the body back to rack.
