i only use straps for second round of pulling or supramaximal work

if it's a double deadlift day on sheiko, i strap up for the second round if my hands are really toasted or if it's box deadlifts

Who's the real idiot here?

What's your deadlift little guy?

>>40267175
>>40267238
There is no winning. It is only construction

>>40267010
If your grip strength can't handle your deads then you're obviously not doing enough heavy shit with your forearms. If deads are your only forearm-intensive workout, then you're a fucking pleb who will never make it.

>>40267010
If you're using a switch grip on less than 3 plates or straps on less than 5 you need to kys

What's the verdict on hook grip?

>>40267430

Great if you want to dislocate your thumbs.

>>40267409
Where'd you get those arbitrary numbers from?

>>40267443
Yeah thats why olympic athletes use hookgrip.

Youre a fucking mong

>>40267460
The difference is, weights for cleans are lower than their deadlift weights, and the lift is faster so there is less time compressing the thumb, as well as not having to hookgrip the descent.

Hook gripping for deads should be singles only...but there's no real benefit except, like, "symmetry" to mixed grip. Oly lifters use hook because you can't double overhand your max clean.

>>40267460

Olympic lifters use hookgrip in competition and use straps a lot in training. Always using hookgrip in training is a great way to fuck your thumbs up for life.

You remind me of that girl who comments on all of Trumps tweets calling him sweetheart. Stop being a faggot.

Are you offended? It's okay buddy, I know all these big strong men are intimidating, but nobody's gonna hurt you here.

K

>>40267613

Bw is 220 @ 6'2"
Squat - 495
Bench (paused) - 300
Deadlift - 525
OHP - currently doing 155 for sets of 5

Gained weight a lot faster the last two months than I would have liked, should be more like 215.

>>40267645
Mirin. How often do you incorporate paused bench? Training to compete in powerlifting or general strength?

>>40267645
>squat 495
>deadlift 525

you must have some short ass limbs relative to your height, i've got a good 150lbs between my 1rm dead and 1rm squat

>>40267670

I do compete in powerlifting. Every day I bench, which is 3x per week, it's paused. For 4 or fewer reps I pause all of them, 5 or more, I just pause the first one. I only OHP can be important in improving bench, so even though it's not necessary I treat it as my main accessory. I only do it once a week, but each week I add a set of 5 until I get to 5x5 then reset to 2x5 and add 5lbs.

>>40267703

My arms are average length for my height, but my femurs are super short and my torso is super long for my height.

OP is right. There are better grip exercises than deadlifts if you want to be an autist about grip.

Fuck lifting less because of grip desu lads.

>>40267723
Digging the specificity and the double progression for ohp

I'm training strongman right now...today was clean and jerk skill work, squats, reverse banded deadlift with magnet brake, yoke carry, then chinups/abs

fucking overkill for my strength level but it's fun

>>40267757

Thanks, it's nice to have a day where I don't worry about benching and can kind of mix things up. It makes me feel a little more well rounded for now at least.

Strongman training it's ridiculous, there's no way I could do it, but I appreciate it and love watching it. That sounds super intense though lad.

are you me

445 squat (at my best, I stopped squatting) 575 dead

>>40267804
no, i'm 10 lbs weaker

>>40267813
at deadlift maybe, my squat is 0 now

>>40267783
I'm wrecked man. Turned down plans to go out, had dinner and then a whole pizza as my second dinner with cheesecake.

So far everything is chill except for the continental cleans with the axle, fuck that shit. I'm probably going to compete once as a novice and then just bodybuild lmao

Probably healthier for your shoulders in the long term to press in multiple planes

>>40267010
>he robs himself of sweet forearm & grip strength gains

>>40267836

My only piece of advice there is do what you like, but don't wreck your body for a hobby.

>>40267855
Yeah man no kidding, thanks. I've already torn an ACL and meniscus in the same knee so the yoke was already dicey as fuck. Good luck in your training and thanks for your good posting

>>40267895

Right back at you anon. Good luck to you and goodnight!
