Box Deadlifts
Muscles Worked Low back, hamstrings, glutes, grip
The box deadlift is a great training tool for many reasons. One, it allows for a greater time that you pull; obviously the ROM is greater so you are forced to pull for a longer period of time. I think this also helps your grip - you are forced to hang onto the bar for a longer period of time. Two, this seems to help people that have weak lower backs and a weak start in the deadlift. And finally, it adds some much needed variety into your training.
To set this up, all you need is a box that allows you increase the ROM without smashing your toes. The one pictured is about 4" high.
Suitcase Deads are a favorite among SM. When you try them, use an olympic bar. It also really stresses the wrist and tests your hand strength since the weight is over a great distance and it becomes difficult to hold onto as the weight increases. Also, try them 1 arm at a time. This will really hit the ab wall as well.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Snatch Grip Deads are GREAT. Also, you can use a Snatch Grip for RDL's, SLDL's, Bent Over Rows, etc. You'll notice that you hit new muscles and you'll get sore in new places to.
