Snatch Deadlift | Olympic Weightlifting Exercise Library

[@tripleextension88]

Can you give some insight about when to use a "full" Snatch Deadlift and when to do a Snatch Deadlift to Power Position? What type of lifter should use which variant predominantly?

[@CatalystAthletics]

DL to PP should almost never be used in my opinion (that video coming soon) - it's really just a remedial exercise for lifters who have extraordinarily bad habits in the pull. We never want to artificially scoop unless temporarily when we have absolutely no better options. See this for now - kzbin.info/www/bejne/omKXiXd3jNmhatE

Will this help me snatch more weight ?!

[@CatalystAthletics]

If strength and/or pulling posture is what's limiting your snatch, yes.

I've noticed on my Snatch DeadLifts that the bar travels on a diagonal from the ground towards my Hips, the bar isn't looping around the knees as well so Im not sure what im doing. Is that norma, or is the aim for the snatch deadlift to have the bar go straight upwards like a normal snatch? And if so, how would I fix the issue? Thanks

[@CatalystAthletics]

Bar does not/should not go straight up in a snatch either - in both cases, bar should be moving backward slightly.
