Snatch Grip High Pull Video Exercise Guide

The snatch grip high pull is a variation of the high pull and an exercise used primarily to target the muscles of the shoulders and traps.

The snatch grip high pull is somewhat of a combination exercise (combining a snatch grip deadlift with an upright row) and will target other muscles groups such as the upper back and hamstrings.

High pulls are performed explosively, and since the traps respond well to explosive movements, will help with trap muscle growth. They also have a significant amount of application in sports-specific training where explosiveness is an important indicator for performance.
