“A path is made by walking on it.” Jan's log

[slowmotion]

I've gotten to like the hook grip. I hardly think about it when I deadlift anymore--I'm so intimidated by the lift itself that the fear wipes out any discomfort I might feel by using the hook grip!

I think the most I've done with hook grip is 160 kg or something like that.

i like my thumbs

Yeah.

+1
And I think I have smallish hands (snowflake!) so the straps allow me to pull heavier without a mixed grip. Plus, I fancy myself a weightlifter, and they all use straps for anything heavier than their clean so early can't I? [emoji1]

Straps is good. I like straps for deads.

I'm glad to see that you're starting to become pain-free!

Like always: great job on those presses. You're overheadpressing way more than me and doing CGBP on my comp bench weights. I have to step up my game!

Thanks, so far it's good. You are squatting much more weight than me, so it evens out.

The above post needs some more, but since I can't edit ....

Was going to say, about hook grip and deads, I don't feel that I can safely hold onto the bar when it gets really heavy with the hook grip. I need to practice more.

geesh, i guess no one can edit anymore grip-wise, i find alt is more than secure enough at the moment, and i'm not lifting heavy enough to worry too much at this point about a bicep tear

I am still jealous of the overhead presses!

Getting comfortable using all three ( alternate, hook and straps ) might be useful.

No you're not.
