[Chris]

do you like to use both hands knuckles out or an over under grip?

I thought everyone used the over/under grip. I couldnt see doing it another way.

i personally like the double over. it feels so much more comfortable. but when the weight starts getting heavy, ill switch to the over-under grip


i personally feel double-over is the hardest way to go

ha we all know this is my favorite topic lol so ill add

i did deadlifts the other day and my entire back is blown out. such a great feeling. i dont deadlift every week. ill deadlift once every 3 weeks. i dont think i can push maxing out deadlift week-in-week-out, prob do a number on my CNS. the weeks following the deadlifts, i will do variations such as good mornings, weighted chin ups, heavy barbell rows, etc.

suffice to say i hurt my lower back yesterday doing deads.i was over zelous and went up to fast in weight rounded my lower back for a sec, and felt it give. a few days of this pain and ill be fine. i love deads sometimes tho they put a hurting on you.

if you think about it over under is not the greatest alignment of your body.

over over is much more symetrical in a lift.

plus you need to switch and alternate over under over under if you do em that way, honestly my under shoulder always sees to hurt when i go over under , this is why i was asking.

its hard to pull more weight over over, but i think its a better form.

they way i got used to pulling over-over was doing RACK DEADS. you can load the bar up on the pins about knee height, and grip and rip. really helps the grip and makes your hands alot tougher

I hear ya but I've never had a problem with it and I honestly dont feel any more stress on either side. Whatever works for you though.

i start w overhand grip, can only do like 2 sets that way, then i do one or 2 underhand grip and also do 2 sets w both hand in different directions, one under one over, and reverse em for the set after

I've been doing deadlift heavy twice a week, using an over-over grip for about 5 weeks. I never knew why ppl did it the over-under way until this weekend. It just never felt right to me.

if u have weak forearms its basically impossible to do it the whole time w overhand grip, its mad funny fingers just start to open my themselves and the bar starts to slip out lolll
