What deadlift grip do you use?

hearing alternative grip causes bicep tears. Has anyone has this happen?

so trying strictly over hand grip now.

Overhand all the way. Buggered my L2 and L5 up using alternate.

I haven't heard of bicep tears although I could see it at super heavy weights. It does cause some spine twisting though which can be an issue, cause back/shoulder spasms, muscles to get worked unevenly, etc. I do strictly overhand and I have some Harbinger padded lifting straps to assist me when I need it. I have scoliosis so I have to bear very careful about back twisting, personally. Just stick to overhand, you won't have any problems that way.

I do overhand and hook grip when I get up around 80-90%. It hurts but I have seen lots of people pull heavy with hook grip! I tried doing mixed grip for a while but I programmed some more volume and ended up having a lot of pain and training biases. Switched to overhand everything went back to normal

Figure 8s, you’ll never look back. Can still grab the raw bar and not worry about slippage like regular straps.
