I cannot for the life of me get Hook Grip to work

Pussies use straps?

Lmao, ok boyo.

Keep being alpha lifting 3 plates

Chalk. And it helps to have long thumbs. Never felt like any weight was close to dropping when using it.

Just don't do it for high reps. Did it with a set of 20 and never again.

Yeah, chalk seems to be the biggest recommendation here. Lol @ 20 reps with hook grip

Was being semi-satirical; largely in response to the postulations I've heard on here like "if you can't lift it without straps you can't lift it" etc.

i lift 6 plates mixed with no straps or chalk. Never pulled anything injury

I see lots of mixed grip pullers pulling 700

Get stronger and don't egolift you little *******,

Always lul when people say they can't grip the bar or they can't get the dumbbell in position

The guy who can't get the dumbbells up for shoulder press and ask for people to help toi get them in position, always end up doing 1-3 crappy snapcity reps

What’s your S/B/D?

OP. If you don’t PL then work up double overhand without straps then use them when needed. Do SLDL etc without straps, and some or all of your rows etc without them. Or directly train your grip occasionally.

If you powerlift then sort it out or accept the risk of underhand.

As for tips for hook grip I can’t help. I have a joint in my thumbs that doesn’t bend so I can’t do it. Try taping your thumb maybe. Should be some good stuff on YouTube.

Do pullups every day. I do 4 plates overhand ez, back fails before grip

Huge if true
Srs

Are you competing in powerlifting?

If not why tf would you limit yourself due to grip because of some unspoken code of straps being lame?

Seems pretty defeatest to me.

I don't fuk with that mix grip **** anymore, gave me uneven lat development.

Eddie, Brian Shaw and Thor all used straps for their WR's

Yeah probably just gonna use straps. Was always led to believe deadlifts with straps don’t count which is why I always used them for rep work and never set PRs with them

No I don’t compete...starting to feel like only people who compete should use mixed grip and deal with the risks
