Hook Grip

 

[Perrin Aybara]

To many to quote that say it hurts a little. Try popping Tylenol the day you pull with hook grip.

Or if you're working with a team and everyone is yelling at you to to lock that shit out and music blasting. I guess I don't feel it with hook grip.

I posted I article on Stretching your thumb to be able to get the most contact surface out of your hook grip and it will allow you to get the meaty portion of your thumb on the bar.

That feeling when you lift solo in a gym full of old people and Tylenol upsets your stomach.

You and RT are more manly than I am. Hook grip hurts too much for me.

I work in glass shop and do glazing/glass fabrication all day, so i feel your painnon this. I constantly have about 20 cuts on my fingers and thumbs lol

I'm just trying it out. Normally I do mixed grip. We got a guy in another board who pulled 680 or more with hook grip so that makes me want to try it lol

 

[Dw725]

Damn, I gotta pull 600 in my next meet, being in the 5's seems so meek around u guys.

I know the feeling now. I didn't realize the difference in training atmospheres until I switched gyms.

I have no options at the moment unfortunately.

I definitely understand.

I can't imagine myself in a gym training by myself while they play Taylor Swift or Katie Perry again. Even with my playlist and headphones. It's not the same.

I've able to push past mental limiting factors at the new gym. I call them mental because of the energy. It's not meet type adrenaline rush energy but it's enough positive energy to get you going.

Once you've learned to read books in prison during day room you can pretty much learn to tune out anything.

What is is with PL guys and building their own equipment ....

I've just modified my farmer carry handles so that they are wider... As some bitch ones are coming up for my comp at end of year...

Hey, should we start a strongman thread?

 

[ickyrica]

Don't let them shame you out of mixed grip. It's less manly, but efficient. I've never had grip issues with it.

I've had issues

Hurts too much for me also, but i feel like a torn bicep would hurt more lol

it does hurt more

I was on my last single for the day @ 525. Right before lockout the supination side decided to take a vacation away from my elbow.

 

[RandallNowan]

I've made a strongman thread, Boys. Head on over. Randall

These guys are the best I've ever seen at explaining things and correct movement for everyday life that also applies to lifting. Unreal instagram account too so look it up!

 

[RandallNowan]

This looks excellent. Thank you.

 

[RodgerThat]

I just ventured over to the steroids subforum and read one thread, that's all it took for me to see how stupid people are never do that guys never leave the training section or general discussion there's nothing out there for us beyond these walls

 

[RodgerThat]

Anybody else have one of those days that when you brace with a belt on you rip ass every rep? I must have eaten chilly for a year straight to have this many pent up ready to terrify every female around me on the gym. Legit didn't give a fuck either while I was lifting had headphones in so I don't know how loud each one was but everyone kept looking and stayed their distance. Got every mother fucking rep in though

Some post surgery pills. Dead’s are seasonal for me now. They continue to aide my whole back to explode with growth pushing 40. I’ve went as high to the mid 500’s, witch is mediocre at best for a PL. I still have fun doing them

And I only deadlift COVENTIONAL. Save that sumo for x fit

 

[TorroXL]

Some warm ups. Off cycle... I would love to be full time power lift/Oly. My hardware in my spine won’t allow it. I feel I still have a chance at B.B. THO. I really do this for fun tho... FWUH

You dont need a deadlift for BB purposes. Rack pulls will stimulate the traps and lats and hamstrings without the damage to the lumbar like deads!

Damage to the lumbar? I know you don’t like the idea of deadlifts in B.B. but I thought it was due to waist widening issues. A proper deadlift does not damage a lumber, yes there’s chance with improper form but you’re more likely to damage shoulders during benching so by that logic you shouldn’t bench?
