I've recently started using straps, just for deadlift, as

Double over. Also fuck straps you dumb cuck. Hook grip it.

If straps, double overhand. More symmetrical, therefore safer for lower back. It's very odd that it feels awkward.

>>38513807
Double overhand, the main reason you don't want underhand grip is because you run a pretty big risk of tearing your bicep.

So you're foregoing one of the biggest advantages of using straps.

Start doing hook grip mate

>>38513807
The first option would be to get some chalk, or use hook grip, or preferably both, and stop doing mixed grip. That'll fix your problem.

If you're going use straps use double overhand. Just do some grip accessories with your weaker hand until it can catch up, if you still want to use mixed grip.

If you're doing hook grip properly, its just the same as straps but for pic related people.
Hook grip doesn't increase grip strength any more than straps do.

OP, use straps and do seperate grip training. Farmers walks, regular and reverse wrist curls and plate pinches.

>hook grip for reps
guess how I know you're lifting babby weights

>>38513807
How is your grip going to get better if you're using straps.
If you can't grip it, you can't lift it (for reps.)
Straps are for 1rep PR attempts and nothing more.

Used mix grip mostly then. Use straps if your grip is really failing you.

Hook grip is a meme.

wtf is this thread

just switch to a mixed grip. if the bar rolls in your hand even a little bit, you're losing power off of the floor.

>is because you run a pretty big risk of tearing your bicep.

desu i think it's pretty uncommon under 550-600lbs or so.

>>38513807
Use straps when you have to. Grip work as an accessory if you give a shit about grip strength or you want to compete.

>>38514095
It's extremely uncommon
Bicep tears are much more of a risk doing something like a continental or lifting a stone
Deadlifting, it isn't even close to a significant risk

>mfw people recommend hook grip for deadlifting.

I will never believe any stat you claim to lift with hook grip unless you post a video of it.
Its like everyone recommends it because they think its good advice, but nobody actually does it.
