What grip do you use for Deadlifts?

>>39572381
mixed hook

Double underhand hook

Overhand for warmups. Hook for the working sets

mixed, then mixed+chalk for work weight

whats the difference between hook and regular overhand

i do overhand for warmups and mixed for working

>>39572401
One requires the amputation of your thumb, the other fails at any weight worth lifting.

>>39572401
Regular has the thumb going outside the fingers. Hook has the thumb touching the bar and the fingers wrapping around both. It takes some getting used to, but it's very secure unless you have very small hands or short fingers

>>39572389
Uhhhhh why would you ever what are you doing

double overhand until grip strength starts failing and then switch it to mixed grip

>>39572385

>deadlifthing with BOTH hands

>Almost 3pl8 for reps
I really don't want to switch to hook or mixed grip but I feel I'll have to soon.

>>39572381
Mixed grip. Overhand doesn't work for me, since I have bitch level grip strength. I've never used hook grip, and I dunno how to start, and can't really get a straight answer on if it's gonna fuck me up or not.


>Tfw small hands
It really does suck, guys.

>>39572475
You just wrap your fingers around your thumb, like you're hooking on to it.
It'll hurt your thumb a bit.

>>39572381
Triple overhand mixed flip flap texas style, burn it and let it swim.

>>39572492
Will it do any kind of damage, though? I've heard horror stories in other threads, but I'm honestly unsure if I'm getting meme'd or not.

>>39572518
Athletes use it for any olympic lift. Like snatches and shit.
You think they're going to use conventional on those motherfuckers?

But no, you'll be fine. You'd know if it was going to cause enough damage to be permanent from the getgo.

>>39572381
double overmixed.

>>39572381
Double overhead until I pass 3pl8. My grip is okay, but anything more than that, I feel better doing over/under.

>>39572475
do backoff sets and warmups with double overhand

squeeze the fuck out of anything you hold

>>39572573
>not willing the weight up with sheer anger
just get out now

>>39572573
you don't?

do you know what deadlifts are?

>>39572381
double overhand. I haven't needed anything else yet, but when I tried hookgrip i found it immensely uncomfortable. might have to start getting used to that. maybe work on it with light cleans

double overhand, but im only at 2.5pl8 so probably gonna have to learn hookgrip very soon. do you still need chalk if you hookgrip?

>>39572603
>not altering the passage of time so the weight is already lifted before you even go to the gym

Cmon man, are you even trying?

>>39572381
I do zercher deadlifts because they help work my lower back really well. On maxes I have to switch to double underhand though.

>>39572381

Mixed cuz I have sweaty hands for hook grip and no chalk and mixed works fine for the weights I lift which is ain't a lot cuz natty and aesthetic

Double overhand for warmups until it isn't possible safely anymore, then hook for working sets.

Mixed grip is for fags.

220kg max deadlift for 1 rep.

>>39572381
I've watched to many biceps tear compilations, fuck mix gripped. I go overhand then when grip gives out or go heavy I use straps like a fag

>>39573924
Or you could just not curl the weight

Double overhand until ~180kg. Then mixed grip. Hook grip is for dumbasses.

>>39572381
I use the one where i am not wearing leggings and don't have a shitty tattoo on my wrist.

>>39572381
Double overhand. My grip use to fail a lot when getting to higher weights but my grip strenght has increased by a fuckton so no problems anymore, at least for now. I don't do rep maxes anymore so I don't need to switch just yet.

Overhand for warmups
Mixed for work reps
Mixed + chalk for prs

>>39572381
Double overhand. With mixed grip you will develop an imbalance eventually.

>>39574082
One day the rest of your body will catch up to your grip strength

>>39572381
i don't even use arms to lift the bar. i use a chain around my neck

>>39574113
When? I've been deadlifting double overhand for 3 years now.

overhand as long as i can, then swap to mixed for the heaviest sets

>>39572573
i attach the bar to my neck using a strong rope

C'MON it's called DEADlift for a reason

Never gonna make it

Deathgrip for deathlift

>>39572381
Overhand during warmups, mixed grip during the real workout and swapping the grip between each set to offset imbalances

>>39572427
>very secure unless you have very small hands or short fingers

Very short fingers here, can confirm. Hook grip is still very useful tho, and it doesn't really fail me except for snatch grip diddies with high-ish intensity for reps.

>tfw women hands and grip failing me on 100 kg after lifting for a couple of weeks
could I switch grip to up the weight again? it's not as fun when you are not

>warmups with double overhand
>working sets with straps

I tried mixed grip and hook grip but they just dont feel right to me and because I DL quite often atm I just use straps for working weights instead.

>>39572381
Suicide grip

>>39572381
mixed grip
my fingers are unironically too short for hook grip or I'm just fucking it up. I don't have small hands but it's all palms with stubby fingers

Hook grip for my regular lifts, mixed when attempting a pr.

Suicide grip here

>>39572381
double overhand for warm ups.
straps for working weight

double overhand because I only do bitch weight for now. I'll probably switch to mixed once my grip fails.

>>39576850

>>39572381
I use fucking straps, because I don't fucking care anymore about the 'deadlift trains your grip' meme.

Never failed a lift because I couldn't keep the bar in my hands, not even while deadlifting 5pl8 or shrugging 7pl8 so why the fuck bother with grip on 5-8 reps?

>>39576871
Do farmers walks

>>39576871
Chalk.

You're getting sweaty baby hands, because you're still lifting babby weight.

Seriously, chalk is sometimes the difference between 260lbs and 500lbs on grip

Does fapping make your grip strength really good?

I'm asking because my deadlift is 40% higher than my other main lifts at this point. I keep going up on the deadlift, but my other lifts are stalling.

>>39572381
I have kinda small and sweaty hands and the only way to effectively go hook grip is to use sports tape on my thumb and middle finger because my gym doesn't allow chalk. I usually go double overhand for warm ups and mixed for working sets and alternate after 2-3 reps or between sets. Usually do double overhand static holds with 2pl8 2xF and 1pl8 2xF afterwards with 1minute of rest in between.

>>39576871
>double overhand grip used to fail around 225x2

I guess farmers walks work too. Just do something that isometrically trains your grip.

Double overhand, straps for my two heaviest sets. Starting to use hook grip for lighter sets.

>>39576871
Do less rep per series with heavier weight. Do many other lifts that work forearms, like pull ups or hammer curls.

Mixed and have never failed a rep due to grip

I can't physically do hook grip because my thumbs aren't long enough. They look like pic related but even more pronounced.

That mutant feel.

>>39572389
Your biceps will be kill

>>39574082
With mixed you should switch which hand is under and which hand is over on each set, so it evens out.

>>39572573
>not deadlifting with dumbbells
Enjoy scraping your shins.

>>39578811
But then you still have the increased risk of tearing your bicep.

FUCK YOU GUYS

This thread is the first I ever heard of hook, did my diddlys about an hour ago and it hurt my thumbs real bad :(

>>39578992
I wouldn't start learning hook with the diddly doo

>>39578713
Explain, cheating how?

>>39572381
I do a non-conventional (but not sumo) deadlift where you set the bar to arms length above your shoulders and load it. It doesn't really required you to grip the bar, just keep it in the palm of your hands, and when you unrack, instead of working agains't gravity, you work with gravity. You hold the bar directly above your shoulders, jaw and midfoot then you let go. None of this complicated decisions about how to grip.

>>39579132
He talking about the
>le sumo deadlift meme

It's a legit exercise, and especially if you have long ass legs relative to your torso and arent a manlet scum

Just regular old mixed, hook grip is a meme

>>39572389
I'm just waiting for someone to draw this in MS paint

>>39572381
double overhand for pause deadlift and warmups, mixed grip for heavy. gotta turn those forearms into tree trunks whenever you can

>>39579430
Wait what? You deadlift holding the bar in front of your shoulders with your arms bent upwards? How can you possibly support that weight with your arms when you're leaning so far forward?

Also, it's called a deadlift because you lift it from dead weight each rep. It sounds more like you're doing front squats.

>>39572381
>Double overhand for all warm-ups, and as high as I can go (about 250 currently).
>Lifting hooks for my max set of five (currently 305).

Both my double overhead, and my lifting hook assist deadlifts are progressing well. I am not limiting myself by the weakest link in my chain (grip), and I am not ignoring the weakest link in my chain because I push myself as far as I possibly can every time I Deadlift.

After my max set of Deadlifts with hooks - I deload and do double overhand static holds till failure.

I don't do mixed grip because fear of bicep tear.

>>39579639
no, you hold the bar directly above your head with your arms extended and then you let go and let the bar roll past your hands, no grip necessary

Double overhand always. If I can't hold it I don't need to lift it. Currently at 4pl8 3x8

Double overhead hook grip. I did mixed for years but always pulled the heavier loads with an under-left and over right. I ended up with a right side lat twice the size of my left in time.

Now I pull double overhand hook, once it gets to above 90 percent I move to a mixed and alternate between sets. I'm working toward being able to pull hook 100%

>>39579486
Unless you're literally 7 feet tall you're just a low mobility faggot.

>>39579671
You let go of the bar while it's above your head?

Can you draw this? What the hell kind of deadlift has the weight above your head?

Note to everyone that is new: If you try to hook grip, and think you are doing it wrong because the pain is shockingly intense...

No. It is painful. People that actually tell the truth will admit that it hurts every time. It never stops hurting. Hook grip hurts worse the heavier you go. You never get use to it.

Ah yes, the classic reverse deadlift. Of course.

You might want to google deadlift at some point. Assuming your thighs are meant to be foreshortened (and therefore your knees are bent) this looks like some hellspawn of a squat and OHP. I can't imagine doing that movement in any way where you can bend your torso forward enough at to get close to a deadlift start position.

>>39579773
I hardly feel it, are you all a bunch of pussies, or are you just letting the weight hang onto your thumbs instead of squeezing hard?

If double underhand/hook tears your biceps, why doesn't mixed grip fuck up your underhand arm?

>>39580558

>>39574214
How much is your deadlift

>>39572381
Double overhand for warmup/grip training, mixed/cualk for 1rms, double overhand with straps for volume/working sets.

>>39572503
STILL NO PICKLES

>>39580543
Honestly there were better options so I didn't waste much time figuring it out. I use the lifting hooks. If my overhand grip lags by 90 pounds under my max working set, I dont' give a shit as long as everything is improving steadily.
