Anyone else only deadlift with double overhand grip only

[mephiles9]

I only deadlift with a hex bar anymore. Honestly, unless you compete in deadlift, I'm not sure what advantage a straight bb deadlift gives the average dude besides injuries.

The deadlift is a very functional lift it literally teaches you how to pick **** up on the ground

fascinating - I had no idea. Do please go on....

lol @ deadlifting

[shesprints]

I care more about training grip than anything else, so I always do double overhand.

[Pumpinmirin]

Double overhand crew.

Purely because I believe that your wrists/grip is a sign the weight is getting beyond your means. Ignore this grip signal and the next signal is snap city.

Bad back brah so I don't want any of that ****.

lol @ deadlifting

For bodybuilding I agree there are much better exercises you can do to hit your posterior chain more effectively for muscle growth but for strength the deadlift is definitely essential

[swolefnatic]

Its 275lb now @ 135lbs

Don't slam the bar down when you're done. Control the weight slowly as you set it down. Just think of the reverse of when you were pulling it up.

I did slowly control the weight I hip hinge to the level of my knees then I bent at the knees to bring the weight down to the ground

I've never understood this line of thought. Do you actually believe that your hamstrings/glutes/erectors/rhomboids/lats/traps/core all working together (basic half the musculature of your entire body) are only safely capable of lifting what your forearms can hold?

[quadfecta]

That’s your 1 rep max?

Should’ve made thread when you could at least do 3 plates

Jason blaha said that any grown man should be able to deadlift 405 for 5 reps in 1 year of training

It's not my 1 rep max I could have easily done 2 more reps and it was double overhand no straps, chalk or weightlifting belt so I could probably deadlift 315 double overhand with straps

Straps are cope

The purpose of chalk is to do the same thing, except it’s power lifting contest legal

Get a bar with more aggressive knurling if chalk isn’t enough to increase your grip

Heeeee-HAAAAAAWWWW

STFU you fukking donkey.

Same premise as a rolled ankle having deeper implications for your knees, hips, back and neck.

Body operates as a chain by your own admission. By twisting one arm to form an assymetrical mixed grip there are deeper implications for traps, lats, hips etc.

Key thing is health and longevity versus diminishing returns.

So why not use straps or hook grip? I only use a mixed grip on heavy pulls off the floor, which I only do a few times a year at the moment so imbalances aren't a concern...

[yewotm8]

I just use straps. Lol at people who think they are badass because they use mixed grip and develop posture imbalances.

[BeginnerGainz]

Up to 315 double overhead
Over 315 gets mixed grips
Straps just feel weird on deadlifts off the floor

What's your total on the big three

This also the mixed grip can tear your bicep

[CeBKa]

Because the mixed grip is very dangerous who hell wants to tear their bicep and also have posture imbalances

[DrewDarden]

It's not very dangerous.

Driving a car is very dangerous.

Mixed grip deadlift is more like a privilege.

[78novacaine]

What's your total on the big three

Not a fukkin clue at the moment, I haven't squatted with a straight bar in months or done anything below ~5 reps on any lift. Probably only like ~1,100 if I had to walk into the gym right now and do a meet with zero prep.

Yeah that's why I don't drive or take the bus to work I just walk there
