Have you ever heard of the "snatch grip deadlift?" Whereas using a medium grip on the bar supports heavy loads in deadlifting, the snatch (wide) grip does not. However, by using this grip, the lifter can experience more hip flexion and thus possibly a greater stimulus to the hip extensors (and less of a stimulus to the quadriceps). The snatch grip applies a great stress to the grip, upper back, and trapezius muscles and thus should help develop more upper back strength.
