>tfw I can't feel with my thumb anymore

this grip destroys your thumb over time...

Funny. When i hook grip my thumb doesnt even hurt. It just acts as support, I see no reason why it should hurt. You still hold the bar with your other fingers, not the thumb.

Want to know how I know you are weak as shit?
I deadlift 405 for reps with hookgrip no problem. It just takes time to get used to.

but eeverytime i hook grip my thumb gets super slippeery and sweaty and i end upswitching to overhand.

just use straps and then train your grip separately with static holds and plate pinches and shit

your grip is important and deserves more specific training than just DOH deadlifts will give it anyway

straps fuck up my setup, idk why but a few people feel the same way

Chalk

Endure. In the beginning it hurts like hell but it gets better with time

they require practice to use correctly and slightly alter the form of the exercise, much like using hook grip has a learning curve, and using mixed grip has a learning curve

a few sessions and they will feel totally natural, plus you can do a fuckload more volume with straps, they're a great training tool

Because you can lift more weight with a hook grip. That's literally why pretty much every Olympic lifter uses it

if hookgrip hurt then you are gripping wrong plain and simple, or you have tiny woman hands

>>42449265
Hook only really works with chalk, unless the knurling on your bar is very good and even then it tends to get too sweaty. My diddly shot up when I got chalk since I could properly hook grip, get some chalk and hook will be best friend.

>Olympic lifter
Ah, that fucking meme. You probably aren't an Olympic lifter and you are not competing, you are training. Every other DYEL believe they shall constantly compete and impress bystanders in the gym; they look at Klokov doing (wide) BTN presses, at the Olympic Chink Team abusing the so-called "valgus twitch", at experienced powerlifters doing low-bar quarter-squats (but they train with high-bar), at fancy youtubers benching with a laughable arching to better impress the audience...
Use pic related when chalk isn't enough to save you double-pronated grip, do grip training on a side and save your fucking thumbs.
