I'm already using liquid chalk and alternating grip, but the knurling still cuts into my callouses some and even then I'm struggling to keep a hold of it. Wat do?
>>
if u still cant hold the bar with mixed grip and chalk then u have a serious grip problem
the easiest solution is to just use straps but i would definitely work on forearm and grip strength

Do farmers walks, static holds, that kind of thing.
Or just work at whatever weight you can double overhand.

It's more that the knurling hurts my hands. I'm aware I sound like a little bitch, but even with callouses the bar keeps cutting into my hands and that's why I can't keep a grip.
>i would definitely work on forearm and grip strength
Will do, I'll try some of the stuff that >>42836251
recommended. Thanks.

Keep at hook grip brudda
I had a bitch of a time pulling anything over 365 with double overhand but I kept powering through the initial pain of hook grip and now it feels great.
Just did a 475 with hook grip and it definitely gets you noticed by all the straps and alternating grip fags

Shrugs and calf raises are also good for forearm strength, but since you complain about calluses being the main problem you should probably change the way you grip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OK-S3ZJZxQ

>the knurling still cuts into my callouses
green = where you should place the bar
red = where you shouldn't place the bar

fixed it for you

eeeeh, this is where it tends to end up apparently
the key point is that the bar shouldn't be lying on the ridge/calluses that connect to the distal palmar skin crease. that causes instability, extra calluses, and pain.

At the end of my last set of pull ups or chin ups I hang as long as possible. Seems to help.
Don't expect your grip strength to increase by more than 5lb a week though.

Just use straps desu and hook for singles if you compete.

I'm already gripping in the crease at the base of my fingers rather than in my palm, it's still giving me calluses and cutting into my hands when I'm lifting heavier weight. Pic related, the damaged and hard skin isn't in my palms, but in the creases at the base of my fingers and the next joints up.

Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a try.

Use Fatgripz/a THICCer bar for a while then go back to standard

Yeah, I'm certain those abnormal biceps and hose-like veins snaking all through his arms are from lifting a thicker bar.
