Redpill me on mixed grips, /fit/

Are you competing?

If yes: kys
If no: use double overhand grip

It's better than using straps, but try to develop a hook grip.

>Not using Hook Grip for barbell lifts

If you don't use chalk or wristwraps, it helps stabilize the bar so it just doesn't roll over.

Oh yeah wouldn't want to be unbalanced now would we

It loads one side of your body more than the other.
Use it if you like, but swap sides periodically.

you'll eventually pull or tear a bicep doing mixed grip once you get really strong. double overhand is better.

the only way i would use mixed is using your dominant hand overhand and your non dominant under.

this guys fuckin nuts double overhand strapless 900lbs legs like sticks, superior leverages and god tier genetics

stay double overhand as long as possible to avoid imbalances

>>42042988
>>42043182
hook grip/double overhand ARE superior to mixed in every way, if your fingers are a weak point fuckin train them to not let go...

Sumo has huge carry over to regular deadlift albeit a slightly different muscle focus... I'd like to see you pull even half of that and ill let you choose the stance lmao

Hook grip is shit for deadlifts because
>your thumb doesn't like being crushed
>enjoy your arthritis

Weightlifters use it for their cleans and snatches, and that's fine because the weight they are moving is much lower than what they'd be deadlifting.

As long as you do some other kind of pulling (rows, chinups, pullups) any of the insignificant imbalance you create from using mixed grip will be negated. And as long as you don't try to row/curl the weight and avoid abusing steroids, which cause your muscles to strengthen much faster than your tendons, you'll never year a bicep.

There are doctors that are also obese, should we imitate their eating habits and patterns as well?

Doctors are good at diagnosing illnesses and treating diseases and dealing with patients to some degree, doesn't mean they are going to always apply all the right methods to their own life.

Get a panel of doctors that specialize in this sort of thing to come to a consensus and say that mixed grip is better than double overhand grip and then I'll be listening.

>>42044186

Wow that straw grasping. Smoking and bad eating habits have nothing to do with deadlifting.

Deadlifting actually has to do with deadlifting

>>42044299
>My doctor smokes therefore, I will smoke.
Not the same.

the DOH only crusade is the same as the no-belt crusade or the no knee-sleeve crusade or the no chalk crusade on /fit/

instead of just getting strong, these betas add a bunch of qualifiers and devise their own arbitrary definition of strong (no mixed grip no belt no chalk bro only way it counts) so their lifts seem less pathetic

that's all it is, it's all part of the same circlejerk of weak boys with weak lifts

>>42044171
>>42044186
Oh yeah and just to be clear the focus of these guys is barbell training as preventative medicine, so it's not like they're PEDs docs who lift or something

What a dumbass, strenghten your grip you idiot. I can double overhand 94% of my max and hook grip 625.

no vid, no did

>>42044456

I won't post myself on this degenerate website. The point is that you're actually the weak bitch who can't properly hold on to the weight.

>>42044462
because you've never deadlifted 625, or even 500, in your life

>>42044303

>>42044389

No, my reasoning is correct. It doesn't matter what he's doing unless they're willing to say that there is a reason they are doing mixed grip for health vs preference or something else. I'm not going to go deep and search for hours on these guys, the first guy seems legit from googling his name, and here is something else I found him doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYN3UGCYisk

Notice how he's doing DOH Hook Grip for his lower weight sets, and notice how many other lifters in the video that are lifting huge amounts are also using this grip. He's not gonna call them out on it cause there's nothing wrong with it.

Mixed grip and hook grip are mostly down to preference, although an advantage of mixed grip is less grip strength necessary at a potential risk of imbalance.

Now if you say that mixed grip is superior, then why doesn't your doctor do mixed grip with all his sets then?

>>42044471
Do you think that's something so difficult to accomplish that th only way to believe it is with a video? I'm 223 lbs, so it's not even close to impressive, but whatever, I'll end this conversation here :^)

Mixed grip is OK sometimes, if you do it every time you're just fucking yourself in the long run

>>42044205
On the contrary, you are actually stronger with a double overhand. People use mixed grip to have more grip on the bar

>>42042252

there is literally nothing wrong with mixed grips if you do it with correct form

>>42044503

Are you the guy that cited Doctor Baraki as the diddly master? If so, then it doesn't matter if it's on someone else's channel because it's clearly Doctor Baraki giving advice on diddlys. If not, then fuck off.

What is technique? (Before you sperg out, for example, shortening your rom)

>>42042252
The moments along the length of the bar which is applied to the bar by friction acting around the surface of the bar act in opposite directions when you use mixed grip.
They cancel each other out and the bar does not spin out of your hands.
So you can hold onto heavier weight easier.

It's that simple.

>>42044668

Not him but there's a big difference between being able to lift 4pl8 double overhand vs mixed grip. I do double overhand, and I always struggle with the last rep on a 3pl8 working set, so I decided to try mixed grip and I pulled it no problem.

>>42045672
Did you realize then and there you need to quit wasting your time with double overhand?

That's pretty dumb m8. You're limiting yourself with the double overhand meme.

I guarantee if you get stronger with mixed grip your double overhand will be stronger as well, and you'll just be stronger period.

>>42045769

I lift recreationally, I do it because it's fun. I just enjoy the lift more when it's overhand. I don't care about getting up to some ridiculous PR that I can brag about I'm just doing it for me, man.

>limiting the development of the rest of your body because of your grip strength

Christ, you're a retard.

>>42042252
There's literally nothing wrong with it. Once you start lifting more, it's nearly impossible to keep up with grip strength on deadlifts, especially with longer sets. Mixed grip allows you to train heavier.

>>42045758
Or you could just do both mixed grip and double overhand.
Since, you know, doing double overhand has more carryover to grip strength in the deadlift.

Done mixed grip for loads of years and a gazillion reps of deadlift and I'vr never had a problem or had uneven muscular development.

If you want to go heavy it's that or straps and mixed feels better than straps desu.

You guys sound like crossfitters. Changing the exercise doesn't mean you can lift more weight. The weight you lift isn't meaningless but it becomes meaningless when you change the exercise in order to increase the weight, rather than increasing your strength.
