Knurl

What's your opinion on knurling and power cleans? Deep, medium, light? Center knurl a bane or not?

Bane?

THE MASKED MAN

of course

it hurts my bitch hands

As in "The bane of my existence".

That's what I'm afraid about. Starting Strength tells me I need to power clean but my barbell has deep knurling.

Just deal with it? If I remember correctly, it's 5 triples per workout it's literally 15 reps dude c'mon

WAS DOING POWER CLEANS PART OF YOUR PLAN?

Yes it was, and I'm actually going to, but I was considering ordering a barbell with lighter knurl along with the bumper plates I need to order anyway.

You're right. It's even less in "phase 3" of the plan as you alternate deadlifts/cleans on the A day and do chin-ups on the B day. I basically don't know how much it matters, if at all, so I was looking for some input.

You'll grow callouses and in a few weeks you won't even notice it. Deep knurling shouldn't affect your form if you're using hook grip (don't know if it's in the book, but worth getting used to)
Reading the first part of your post, though, if you're setting up a homegym and planning on doing olympic lifts, the barbell is the one thing you shouldn't cheap out on.

I'm still loading my deadlift with regular grip. Until my grip gives out I'm gonna stick with that. I'm not sure if hook grip is discussed in the book, I'm combining youtube instructionals with reading the book when I have free time. I'm almost past the squat chapter.

I'm setting up a home gym indeed. I think the barbell I bought is similar to the ohio power bar from rogue, but it's from a german company. It's the ATX Ram Bar (~250 EUR). I was thinking of getting one with needle bearings and a lighter knurl too, but this thread makes me think I should just stick with the bumper plates for now. I can always get another one later if it does end up being an issue.

OP, why would you even put the word "bane" in your post. You know you'll never get an answer to your question now.

It's pretty easy to have powercleans limited by grip. Having poor grip technique technically helps and so does knurling but your hands will get fucked up from either. Try proper grip technique until you unexpectedly fly backwards and save the hamfisting for PR's. It's like a grip/wrist exercise for like the back of your forearm or some shit. The middle knurl shouldn't be a problem unless you wear bargain undershirts or something. It's a clothing issue. Do some highpulls to justify it's existence. If you bang your collarbone enough, you won't want to keep doing it. You might get uneven collarbones from progressive bone spurs and you won't notice until you cut. Get your fucking elbows up even if you aren't olympic squat-.cleaning, even if you are jerking.

Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

You're a big bar

It would be extremely painful

More knurling the better. Reduces risk of slipping on anything. Power cleans I only do if I'm ohping without a rack.

You are a big knurl

>center knurl gets caught on my shirt during squats
it’s shit
