Does anyone here deadlift with overhand grip only on deadlifts ?
Im probably going to start doing this for a couple reasons.
1. Alot of the time i will have uneven pulling action happening with mixed grip.
2. I am able to lift a little easier when my dominant hand is supinated .
3. Pronated or snatch grip better mimmicks performing cleans or snatches. The only time mixed grip is used is on deadlifts.

I'm not sure I understand.
1. If you're got an muscular imbalance, shouldn't you switch your over/under hands for a while (few months, or whatever) until the imbalance corrects itself instead of double overhanding? If you don't really have an imbalance but are concerned about an imbalance, why not just alternate your over/under each set to try to keep a basic balance? Using a mixed grip seems to take the "weak grip" link out of the chain - why go back to weakening the chain by using double overhand, which can and probably will restrict your dead?
2. k. I thought I've read time and time again that that was the norm? Regardless of it if it is or isn't, I don't understand how that relates to overhanding deads?
3. If you're an oly lifter, or so concerned with your clean and/or snatch, why aren't you doing more cleans and/or snatches instead of deadlifting/worrying about what grip you use while deadlifting?
I'm sure, out there somewhere, there's a fetish for double penetration deadlifts.
