Go wide on the grip and pull through a longer range. Brutal on the posterior chain.
The wide grip means you sit lower. Keep your back flat and lats tight throughout.
The wide snatch grip drops your hips lower and lengthens the pull, which is exactly why this deadlift hits the hamstrings so hard, they work through a longer range from a deeper start position. The glutes finish the job, driving the hips through to a full stand. It earns its place as pulling strength work for weightlifters and as a brutal posterior-chain variation for anyone who finds conventional pulls too short.
The wide grip forces a lower hip start and a longer range of motion, so your hamstrings work through more stretch and your positions match the snatch pull. It is a range and position builder, not a max-load lift.
Straps are common and sensible here. The wide grip is much harder to hold than a conventional grip, and grip should not be the thing that ends your set.
Meaningfully lighter than your conventional deadlift. The longer range and lower hips reduce leverage, so chase crisp positions and a flat back rather than the number you pull with a normal grip.
