Can you lift your chest higher? Look at the pictures of the L posted in this thread to see what I mean: Correct YTWL?

If that doesn't work, do you have anything else that's higher that you can support your chest on? If not, do them seated and leaning forward over your thighs, which is imagine would be kinda uncomfortable. I still don't like standing though, because it's just too easy to cheat with upper body movement.

A ball on a bench works for reverse hypers, but I don't see how you'd be able to keep the ball stable when your hands are busy doing the Cuban snatch. It might work. You'd just have to give it a try I guess. Be careful!
