... Alright, I looked around and couldn't find much on this. I have been using a snatch grip (wide: past rings) on my deads since I starting lifting and have been progressing pretty well (I think). My initial hope (based on some articles I read) was that snatch grip would confer some additional benefits to the DL like increased ROM and scapular retraction; now it's just what I am used to. Can anyone think of a good reason why I should stop using snatch grip? I think it's probably one of those "if it works for you, why change it?" situations, but I am always trying to optimize my training so any opinions are welcomed. My basic goals are strength, size and power.
