Why are mixed grips considered as a leverage? Are deads really easier with MG?

Col where do u source your cissus?

Not considered leveredge in the deadlift, but it makes it easier to grip bar if that's what you mean. I don't do MG because I am very paranoid of a bicep tear. I would be wrecked if that happened. So I minimize the risk by not doing MG. I can MG any weight I want with deads, its not a problem, and its easier than DOH. If I were to compete in PLing, I would use hook grip, because I can hook grip any weight I want also.

Bent BB rows. I wanted to work up to 365 and do cheat ones like Jamie. But that wasn't happening today. Maybe Saturday. Yeah, lower back needs rest.

Hijacking for a minute.

Lime- I did MGs for a year. I believe it has caused my arms to not be proportional. It's not noticeable to peers, but I can notice it.

[RyouBakua]

good job on the deads



wish we had the round plates

hex plates just dont roll right

[limelite]

Col, thanks. Never tried hook grip.. reckon I should give it a try. What about for squats, do you do thumbless grip?

Holy.. which arm gets bigger? The one that's under-gripping?

I think that's why my left bicep (TO ME) looks bigger.

Cannot stand hex plates. All new LA fitnesses have them.

How do you grip for squats? I'm OH w/o thumbs hooking.

My right arm is slightly larger. It's over.

Thanks Brew. Hex plates make me FACKING RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NP. Just a normal grip for back squats. Not thumbless.

Idk if its because of Mixed grip DL's, but my left bicep (overhand) has a nice peak, right (underhand) is very noticeably less peaky, but is stronger lol.


I too worry about a bicep tear but mixed is a lot easier, and i just train my biceps to be strong.

Some good lifting discussion in here lately. Joint supps, knee caving debate, 90% 1rm rep out debate.

Honestly here Syd. You think you could hit 5 reps w/ 90% 1rm on squat/bench/dead?

I know I can't, but everyone else seems to be able to.

[dopamine72]

Switch it each set for maximum muscle balance. It will help your grip even more too.

lettuce ketchup to reality I can probably do 3 reps, but give me my belt and I'll do 5

[dopamine72]

Edit- ^^^ OK finally someone who is similar

yes, probably, yes

I must be an anomaly then. Or some of you guys just haven't hit true 1rm so it throws off your judgment.

I actually think I'd lose 30 pounds off my dead if I switched my over/under hands at this point. Srs.

I'll try to deadlift in DOH next time. Maybe in warmups. lol

Thumbless grips are supposed to be better in squatting - something about wrist alignment, but I noticed my wrists hurt more when I do thumbless grips.

A thumbless grip with a straight wrist helps prevent wrist pain/issues associated with attempting (conscious or sub conscious) to support the bar with your hands and arms.

Farley, you always save the day. Areyouawizard.

[calmlikewind]

strong volume! nice work!

[anonymous]

at 6 foot you might have big enough hands to make a hook grip work for deads?

[Ironlife]

Lulz nice work gettin on the Stims again *******! Also never try deadlifting after 2 lines.. never goes well

[Woody-5]

Strong deads fella
