That's why you MUST train biceps so you dont tear them.

>>38383364
If you're a retard who yanks the bar and flexes his biceps during a deadlift, then you deserve the tears you get.

All the monsters with surgery scars across their biceps have a variant of the same story to tell
>I was drunk/high/distracted/sleep deprived
>I lifted some moderate weight and it was so light I didn't actually think shit through
>turns out 300% of your 1RM barbell curl isn't a thing you want to hold on to with a single bent arm
>snapping noise, bruising, shit hurt like hell, surgery

>>38383396
Yep. But the risks are the same with any form of grip
>mixed-bicep risk
>hook-thumb nerve damage risk
>straps-various pulls caused because you can't bail the lift easily, e.g lats
And with just double overhand you won't get to a competitive deadlift anyway

>>38383443
>>hook-thumb nerve damage risk
wut

never heard this one before

>>38383364
Yes, mixed grip has the potential to do this if not done properly. It is safe with proper technique though. Is it worth the risk is up to you. Hook grip is an excellent, and probably better, alternative. Wrist straps aren't bad either but you should probably only use them unless your grip is actually preventing effective DL training. Using magnesium (chalk) goes without saying.

>>38383458
>crushing your thumb between your fingers and 500lb+ is perfectly safe
retard. It's unlikely to do anything too bad, but there's a reason you don't see huge deadlifts being hook gripped.

>>38383513
>Hook grip is an excellent, and probably better, alternative
Not really, the only advantage of hook grip is that it doesn't twist your pelvis slightly like mixed grip does. The other thing is that you can't hook grip an axle.

It's literally what oly lifters do all the time.

>>38383458
hook thumb reverse hook car door?

>>38383595

And those aren't 600lb+ deadlifts.

>When used in the deadlift, the hook grip has a number of advantages. Traditionally, men and women tend to use a "mixed" grip when working with heavy loads on the deadlift, that is, one hand being supine and the other prone. This mixed grip creates an imbalance of the shoulders, with one shoulder being externally rotated and the other internally rotated, respectively. This difference in rotation between the shoulders can create imbalances in the muscles of the back over time.

well, shit

>>38383595
And they all have nerve damage.

Injuries like that are part of the sport. These are highly competitive people risking heart failure, major injuries and even gaol to compete in their sport; a little nerve damage is nothing to them.

>>38383543
>there's a reason you don't see huge deadlifts being hook gripped
but you do, anon.

>>38383679
Not really. Heaviest thing I've ever hook gripped was a 260kg farmer's walk before I realised hook gripping on farmers does fuck all. I've actually never seen anything heavier than 300kg being hook gripped.

>>38383700
>I've actually never seen anything heavier than 300kg being hook gripped
you don't see a lot of deadlifts then, I guess. you stupid fucking retard. I hope your mom dies. jesus christ I hate edgy arrogant piece of shit faggots like you so much please just tell me where you live so I can punch you in the face.

Bob People's was also known to pull with a hook grip. He pulled 800 at 181.

>>38383810
you can feel something going mid-lift and just drop it, but with straps (especially figure 8s) you can't just drop the bar, you have to follow it down.

>not using regular overhand grip.
Get better grip strength, twinks. Maybe your boyfriends will start appreciating your sloppy handjobs as well.

why would I e-stat a mediocre farmer's walk? If I was going to e-stat I'd at least make it a good one, like a 700lb deadlift or something

>>38383848
fair enough.

I wish my gym had real farmer's walk bars. Instead I have to walk around with the trap bar like a shithead.

Oh well at least we have prowler.

>>38383613
George Leeman can deadlift 900ish lbs with hook grip. I'm not saying he's the rule rather than the exception, nor that he doesn't have pharmacological support, but it is a proof that it can be done, provided the habit of using hook grip is ingrained in the athlete.

>>38383700
you're not supposed to hook grip with farmers walks moron and george leeman hook gripped 410kg

>>38383808
you see now? I fucking TOLD you but you wouldnt BELIEVE it until you saw those stupid fucking videos. you could have just believed me you know? or maybe look up the evidence yourself? god damn I hate it when people don't even believe me even though I'm right. fucking idiot.

I have a pull session this afternoon and now I'm spooky as hell

>>38383443
That's why you should only double overhand.

>>38383827

>>38383837

>>38383848

maybe you walked away from a 260kg cow when you were a farmer once because you were afraid the cow would rape your frail little body, you weak sister.

>I didn't then
intelligence

If you're doing deadlifts heavy enough to blow a bicep why wouldn't you be using double overhand grip or even straps if that grip is too weak for you?

>>38384542
because it's a stronger grip. The logic is, you won't be able to deadlift the same weight double overhand and since you want to go as heavy as possible, you risk blowing your bicep to reach your goal.

>>38383443
Benedikt Magnusson begs to differ

That dude is about to clean 529 lbs and you think a 600 lbs deadlift is harder on your grip? LOLOLOLOLOL You're retard. Confirmed for not deadlifting or cleaning anything even remotely heavy. Also nice moving goalpost as the original post was about 500lbs deadlifts.

I don't understand...

It is bad for your thumbs. Just because people do it doesn't mean it's good for your thumbs.

Congrats on doing a lift wrong

>>38385011
I was pointing out how you moved up the weight randomly
I wasn't saying its healthy it probably does give you nerve damage but deadlifting 500-600lbs probably isn't great in the long run either

There seems to be some agenda against deadlifts recently. Must be the experienced lifters/chads trying to stop DYELs getting gains.

Good form and proper rest and warming up = good sets.
