>tfw only one at my gym who doesn't dealift with a mixed grip

>>40242567
what's your 1rm

>>40242576
Not sure, but I can do 215 lbs for 5 reps

Slowly progressing up in weight.

>>40242567
Isn't mixed grip easier ?

>>40242622
That's why. Nobody does mixed grip for baby weight.

learn to hookgrip masterrace

>>40242567
serious question about mixed grip

should I be switching up how I grip it? I only do right arm facing out and left arm facing in, but should I be alternating or nah

>>40242739
I switch arms every set

>>40242739
Mixed grip is just to stabilize the weight and be sure that the bar dosen't slip away
And yea if you do that alternate arms

>>40242739
Seriously just learn hookgrip
less worry about imbalances.
Less injury prone
Less issues with improper set up.

hook girl leeads to bicep tear el stupido

>>40242875
Every deadlift bicep tear I've ever seen happened using mix grip.

...Got baited.

>>40242858

Some people like having functioning thumbs

>>40242897

who the hell even uses hook grip for deadlifts anyway.ive never seen anyone do that. you must be quite retarded

>>40242567
>tfw be one of only 4 guys at the gym who deadlift at all

I made it to a lmao4pl8 DL with nothing but regular grip. Never understood mixed grip and sumo babbies.

Then I stopped dead lifting because all my powerlifter friends are broken and look like shit and I don't want to end up like that.

>>40242994
do you use straps, chalk or any other meme accessories?

>>40242719
not easier just makes it possible when you get to real weight

>>40242567
>tfw lifting for 6 months and outlift everyone in my gym at 6', 155

>>40242994
sounds like a waste of time

>>40243055
at deadlift that is

>>40242994
Seems pretty tough, honestly. Once I get past 285 I start needing to mix my grip up otherwise my hands slip.

>>40242994
Yeah I think years of climbing has given me grip strength enough to get to 4 plate (on 3.5 and haven't had grip troubles yet)

It's about the only thing it's given me in terms of lifting honestly

>>40243055
>>40243062
>tfw my gym's diddly record is nearly 800 pounds so I'll never pass it

>>40243457
Its okay. What you can't do for lifting you can make up for with punching

>>40242737

hook grip and chalk is GOAT... so secure

>>40242739
You should try and switch at the top of every rep

tried hook grip once and never looked back. deadlift feels stornger because of it especially since i have an injury on the left side of my torso that slows my ability to grow there

>>40244907
i agree mix grip is best especially when your hands are dry

Quints are truth

What's a good double overhand (non-hook) deadlift to have?

>>40243318
I do judo and can also hold 4 plates.
Good grip is pretty broteir

>>40247302
4pl8

>>40242994
Same for me. But iam honest. At like 160kg I use straps, because otherwise it would slip on the fifth rep.
Currently at 180kg x6 with straps and without height difference

>chalk
>straps
>mixed grip
why don't you just not be a griplet

mixed grip shitters BTFO

>tfw only one at the gym who deadlifts with the thick bar
>the looks i get when i fail a set of 130kg and drop the bar on the 5th rep

has anyone ever tried deadlifting without using thumbs. I tried it to test what it felt like and kills the forearms.

>>40247634
no pinky finger is dainty af

>>40242739
do not alternate

>>40242761
don't do this

>>40242875

>>40243055

people do mixed grip in my gym because they say it keeps your spine neutral because its pulling on one side

>>40242622
When you can pull 315 for reps with a regular grip, then you can come and brag. 215 is literally light weight baby on deads.

>>40242973
>tfw the only guy who deadlifts
(except for that one guy who i saw deadlifting 2.5pl8 a couple months ago)

>>40247302
>1 pl8 = woman
>2 pl8 = normie
>3 pl8 = good
>4 pl8 = great

>>40247634
Did that for the first time this week. Double overhand thumbless is going to be my go to grip exercise for sure.

>>40248581
currently 3pl8 for 5 w/ double overhand

>mix grip is literally asking for snap city
Will be laughing when you tear that bicep you filthy casual

>>40248698
can i get a quick rundown on these guys?

trap bar masterrace

>>40248698
disgusting mongs

>>40248805
Hairdoo Habier and Fish Face Franco, when they walk into a club everyone suddenly becomes concerned or forgets where they left their keys

>>40248446
I'm not bragging

I'm worried I might be doing something wrong

You cant use a hook grip in powerlifting matches so instead try versagrips but never straps because they're illegal too. just sayin

>the only one at my gym that doesn't deadlift sumo
What the heck

>>40242567
>>40242622
I do hook grip (also still at babby weight)
But who the fuck cares. I want to develop my grip strength along with my legs to get to 3pl8 for reps without mix grip. I will probably stop weight increase around there and just do sets for reps. What could possibly be gained from 1 rep ego lifts with mix grip? Besides making yourself think that ppl be mirin when in reality they are watching you the same reason ppl watch NASCAR. Just waiting for the crash.
