Mixed grip >creates imbalances of traps >can lead to

You know you can, like...switch hands sometimes for mixed grip, right? And bicep tearing isn't a problem unless you're at an elite level.

>>38727205
You're making excuses for yourself. Admit it, you don't like deadlifts because they're hard and you don't really care about strength. Here is the reality

Mixed grip
>possible, slight imbalance if you're not vigilant
>can lead to bicep tear if you're fuckin retarded and are lifting 400lbs+ on a regular basis

Hook-grip
>can lead to numbness of thumb (who cares)
>can lead to broken thumb if you're fuckin retarded and lift 400lbs+ on a regular basis

Normal grip
>you will have to train your grip strength (boo fuckin hoo) or the bar will roll out of your hands
>grip will fail if you don't train your grip (duh)

>This is why I hate deadlifting, considering just switching to trap-bar deadlifts instead, or just scraping deadlifting all together and focusing purely on back squats and front squats as my only lower body exercises.

Unless you plan on deadlifting at an elite level or over 600lbs, I wouldn't worry about any of those injuries to a significant extent

Sumo deadlift
>an instant way to spit a cum guzzling faggot who ego lifts

>>38727205
My lower back felt odd today, it was my first time doing dead lifts.
I tried to make sure my back was straight and lift with my legs.
But i've had bad posture for most of my life, will dead lifting fix it?

>>38727268
OP here, you're wrong.

I actually PREFER deadlifting over squatting. The only reason I am complaining about deadlifting here is because at least with squats, there is nothing like this that interfere with my ability to squat.

The whole issue of picking what grip im going to use interferes with my deadlifting.

I would love it if we could all just deadlift without any issue with grip, but that's not the case here.

Confirmed for weak

all elite lifters use straps

>>38727344
I get the same shit, grip is the weakest part of my deadlift

>>38727344
So in other words you're too lazy to train your grip strength. Grip strength training is rewarding as fuck. Do it and stick to double overhand or hook grip.

>>38727257
wrong . Bicep tearing can happen at a noob level. It's when tards try to use their arms to finish the movement.

>>38727386
how do you train grip strength?

>>38727413
HEAVY SHRUGS

>>38727357
it's been far too long since i've seen this picture

>>38727357
Confirmed for fat weak "powerlifter" who does wide stance fag pulls because lol no mobility lol no strength

I pull 520 conventional mixed grip with no straps or belt

>>38727413
how do you get better at anything? by doing it a lot. dead hangs. dumbbell use. farmer carries. anything that involves gripping something reasonably heavy. dead hangs are the best imo. I go with about 80% of my 1RM and try to hold it for as long as I can.

how th efuck do you broke your thumb with hook grip

at most you will sprain it and heal it in a week or so

>>38727406
Solution: don't be retarded

What's wrong with sumo?

Thumbless grip
>build god-tier grip strength if you're just starting off
>can switch to normal grip if too difficult, but it helps because of reason above
>impresses DYELS who can only deadlift half your weight

>>38727509
Nothing bro, nothing wrong doing squats with a mile wide stance and half good morning, nothing wrong with arching your back to 3 inches from the bar and doing as wide of a grip as possible on bench either :^)

>>38727268
>400lbs+
But that's not a remotely high amount.

>>38727529
Pls no memeing

>>38727529
whats wrong with all of these things
(syrious question)

>>38727205
Just use straps then, you baby

>>38727205
>hook grip
>broken thumb
Are you made of glass or something?

>>38727553
It is if you're not obese

>>38727344
Just use straps you fucking mong

>>38727553
damn the perfect spelling and grammar just screams keyboard warrior

>>38728069
Since when is 4pl8 a weight you'd have to be fucking retard to lift?

>>38727205
>Train grip independently
>Deadlift double overhand with straps
>Use mixed grip or hook grip only during meets if powerlifter, otherwise scrap entirely

Is this a hard solution to come up with?

No it isnt, dyel?

>>38727205
I'm doing 531 and I just use straps for my main sets, then go double overhand for my 5x10 sets. Seems to work well and I avoid all the problems here.

>>38727638
anon is just a faggot who can't put up good numbers, so he resorts to MUH ROM

>>38728256
equivalent to pussy pad for squats cause your a bitch, if you want better grip use fucking chalk.

>>38727205
>what are straps

>>38728523
nah they're just more convenient straps

I had some noticable imbalances from mixed grip, so I decided to start hook grip a few weeks ago. Shit is easy as hell, 2nd dl I matched my pr, the next time I added 20lbs to it. Forget trap imbalances, hook grip is great just because yoi are just pulling up, no wnergy wasted on torquing.

Also no where close to breaking my thumns at 385, but I climb so all my fingers are kinda fucked.

>>38729108
nobody cares about your twink deadlift.

>>38729137
Nobody cares about your apathy.

>>38727205
I'm almost up to 5 plate double overhand without straps. Just do 2 working sets without them, and if you fail midway through the 2nd set just quickly put them on and continue.

>get chalk
>chalk up
>DL max instantly jumps from 190kg for 1 to 220kg for 1
kek, griplets like me should be euthanised

>>38727268
yeah just going to say 400lb for reps isnt anything really man

>>38727268
This
But I refuse to do hook grip do to my need for functioning thumbs and vidya.
Inb4 console peasant, I do both.

Also I'm using a homemade rolling thunder (check out ironmind) for my grip strength and haven't dropped the bar for 405 x 5 with double overhand and chalk.

>>38727205
If you don't care about grip why not just use straps?

>>38727268
>numbness of thumb (who cares)
You're stupid if you think, that's not a serious thing. It's all fun and games until you really lose the feel there. I lost the feel in my toes and it was really inconvenient. I can't even imagine how bad would be losing a feel in your thumbs.

>>38727979
Nope. It's just over a year of lifting for any male.

>>38727509
It's for gays. So it's good on /fit/, I guess.

>>38727529
Sumo is bad
wide grip bench is bad
wade stance squatting is bad
low bar squats are bad
arching your back benching is bad

REAL LIFTERS

Bench totally flat backed with narrow grip and legs off the floor

Squat high-bar with a stance so narrow your feet are actually together

deadlift off a 6" deficit conventional only

>>38728515
if it makes it easier why doesn't everyone do max legal benching, sumo deadlifting and wide stance squatting then you ponce...

>>38727458
>dead hangs are the best imo. I go with about 80% of my 1RM and try to hold it for as long as I can.
Static holds ≠ dead hangs

>>38727205
lmao, how is grip strength even a factor just fucking wear straps holy shit

>>38727406

> It's when tards try to use their arms to finish the movement.

That's the real problem. If I'm using mixed grip I don't go to failure / try to squeeze out that one last rep with bad form because I might cheat and try to finish off the rep in a way that leads to injury.

>>38727987
>hey guise i got weak grip
>"Take grip completely out of the equation, use straps!"
lmao dese idiots

>>38730475
t. griplet

>>38729804
>Sumo is bad
correct, adjusting form to "get the weight up" is bad. majority of sumo lifters do it because it allows them to get more weight up because of less rom. they can't do conventional. there are legit lifters who do sumo, but 9/10 outta 10, the sumo lifter is some skinnyfag struggling with lamo2.5plate diddly

>wide grip bench is bad
incorrect, wide grip activates the chest more than narrow grip. narrow grip activates a different muscle group. the two are different.

>wade stance squatting is bad
correct

>low bar squats are bad
highbar versus low bar, same as wide grip versus narrow grip bench

>arching your back benching is bad
retracting the scapula is good, doing some retarded inverse-catback is bad.

what about mixed grip while alternating the over/under hand

>>38727268
>>38727205
You switch hands on mixed grip. You will only snap your bicep if you try to pull up with your arms like a faggot.

If the bar is rolling out of your hands, you need a stronger grip. Try farmer walks.

Lastly, if you really need to, you can use straps just to get a set out.

>>38727328
Well I'm 6'8 I could have gotten my dad's thicc skeleton structure but I got my moms 6 foot runway model skeleton along with scoliosis in 3 points of my spine and a arm that when fully extended seems to be crooked. Back exercises and heavy proper form deadlifts has fixed my shit up so much. My chiropractor that I started seeing even says what I'm doing is great for straighting my spine. I'm not lifting relatively heavy. Heaviest pull Ive done so far is a 485 deficit

>>38732068
No but you're probably dyel and still giving advice. Just funny to me kek.

All this disinformation and scaremongering is hilarious. You know your biceps are in zero danger if you elbows remain in full extension, right? You know that you literally have more muscle imbalances from being right/left handed in daily life than you can develop deadlifting with a mixed grip a few hours a week, right? RIGHT?

>>38732129
Wait until the weights get heavy newfriend.

>>38732129
you're right if and only if people pull mixed grip for a few reps.

but there are people with such weak grip that they *only* pull mixed grip and *always* use the same arm.

>>38727503
This is such a stupid fucking reply. All of you that think this way are unfit to breed.

We call safety measures "precautions" because it's best to exercise caution BEFORE shit happens. And shit happens, you mong.

I just began doing heavier DLs but I'm struggling a lot with my grip strength. I'm still with a really low weight, but the bar slips with normal grip.
Is it okay to use mixed grip while I do farmer's walk at the end of each workout? At least until I get better grip strength.

>>38732444
Seriously? Mixed grip is perfectly safe as long as you aren't flexing your bicep in some half curl half deadlift monstrosity. Tell me you're supposed to deadlift using biceps. Please. Then tell me who's talking out of their ass.

>>38727205
Just tie your dick to the bar. Best grip with no cons.

>>38732895
You have to go back newbitch.

>>38727509

Nothing, he's just a memeing idiot. I like to swap things I do around on a regular basis so they don't get stale

>>38732129
I noticed the imbalance on one side of my lats immediately and the bicep tear scare is real. Many top lifters never mix grip outside of competition. I wouldn't train that way ever.

>>38732780
>mixed grip is perfectly is perfectly safe as long as your form is 100% perfect 100% of the time and you never slip up for even a fraction of a second

Ayyyy lmao you really told me. Now I have to reassess every idea I have about fitness. Really made me think.

>>38729804
You are a retard. Almost any sumo lifter that lifts big weights can pull close to that on conventionals.

>>38733399
Who decided that your imbalance was caused by mixed grip deadlifts??

>>38727268
>accuses OP of not caring about being strong
>suggests that lifting more than 400lubs consistently is crazy
who... are you?

>>38733504
i don't have any i can literally feel the corresponding lat activating harder than the other in mixed grip and only in mixed grip otherwise it's all even steven

>>38732149
There is literally not a single problem pulling with the same mixed grip at all times.

Just ask Pete Rubish.

>>38732523
Cat got your tongue. Get fucked bitch.

>>38734158
pete rubish isn't a skinnyfag who has weak grip that needs to compensate with mixed grip.

>>38727205
I lift 55 more lbs than normal grip. I dead lift 320 3x10 now. Bicep tears don't happen as long as you don't curl. Leave your arms hanging and never do maxes so you dont snap city your back or your bicep

>>38727205

>Muh grip strength
>Muh not being imbalanced
Lmao, the only reason for some people to only pull DOH is because they're weak and insecure, so they do obscure lifts like DOH deadlifts so they won't have to compare their strength to others. Same reason many on /fit/ praise OHP and hate on bench, since they can The Press 1pl8 but can't bench 2pl8. If they really cared for strength imbalances they would train their calves, neck muscles, abs and rear deltoids as hard as they claim to train their grip. And if they really care that much for grip strength I guess we got a whole lot of people aiming to close a captain of crush on /fit/.

>>38734546
this is funny because my uncle severely herniated his back using straps lifting heavy after pushing himself from being too fatigued and couldn't let go. he could never lift again after this happened. the straps that don't wrap around the bar and allow you to drop are superior in this isolated situation.

Lifting weights can also break your back and leave you paralysed or dead, best not lift weights at all just to play it safe.

No one in this thread uses chalk? That plus hookgrip is a godsend
