Superstars have a nice flat surface with very slight heel elevation that's perfect for squatting. I used to wear a pair of them back in the day while squatting, but I've always deadlifted in NZAs so I had less meat under my feet. I can't really make a comparison to Sambas since they don't make a wide shoe in that style.
Excuses are just tools of incompetence
Used to build monuments of nothingness
And those who specialize in the uses
Seldom achieve anything

Hickson commented on that vid saying bs is looking for 900 x amrap this coming week? da fuq. inb4 900x3 video.
Most people around here talk about it as if they were able to switch over to hook on a dime, with the only drawback (of course) being thumb discomfort. I literally have a worsened grip when I attempt to use it. Even my DOH feels more stable. The bar seems to just pull away quicker when I apply the thumb.Best gym lifts: S 430 / B 385 / D 480 both C&S

29mm or more and its hard for me to lock the hooky in, 27-28 and that bytch aint moving. I do kinda have long, thin, monkey'ish fingers so I loved it the first time I ever tried it. With hook grip I can hold waaaaay more then I can full rom deadlift.

I would just say don't try jumping in with heavy weights too fast, but your thumbs do get used to it quickly.
I decided to start using hook grip along time ago because I was worried about bicep tears etc but I didn't want to wear straps either. To me using hook grip feels more comfortable than straps and I feel like I could hold any weight, if only I had the back and leg strength of George or Stan to match!
I can't see why it hasn't, all oly lifters use it as far as I know.
