How To Snatch-Grip Deadlift

Unless you’re a competitive weightlifter or dabble in some Olympic weightlifting, you probably have focused most of your posterior chain work on standard deadlifts (the conventional and sumo varieties). Nevertheless, there are some benefits to other variations, and one we like is the snatch-grip deadlift, which requires you to lift with an ultra-wide hand grip.

In this how-to tutorial, GGR senior staff writer and Team USA Weightlifting athlete Caine Wilkes breaks the movement down: how the snatch-grip deadlift works, why you should do it for your grip and back strength, and common mistakes to avoid.

Foods High in Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral that works its magic in several ways. For starters, it’s involved in more than 300 biochemical processes throughout your body. Getting more magnesium may also help support better sleep, lessen feelings of stress, promote relaxation, provide relief from occasional muscle cramps, and more.

How can you ensure you’re getting enough magnesium for optimal wellness? Start by enjoying several servings of foods high in magnesium daily. If you’re unsure what to eat, we asked Sharon Lehman, a registered dietitian, to list the top foods high in magnesium, how much magnesium to aim for in a day, and what to do if you suspect you’re not getting enough.
