will hook grip prevent your grip strength from developing? i've been using it because my double overhand fails at a certain point and i'd rather use that than mixed.

Why would hook grip prevent grip strength development?

>will this limit my grip?
Not really, no. You're still holding the bar, you're still using the muscles involved in grip against the resistance, it's just in a way that the bar can't start rolling out of your fingers. In a way it's probably better because you won't be limited by the weight you can do non hook.
Isaac Johnson
it just feels like it doesn't work my grip as much as using double overhand even if i fail 6+ reps earlier than using hook grip.
Samuel Bell
it is for sure better for the body parts that are being worked. just hoping that my weak hand will catch back up. **getting back at it after several years off because of nerve damage / muscle wasting in one hand.
Owen Hall
No. Pull double overhand normal grip for warmup and lighter working sets. Save your thumbs for hook grip on the heavy sets.
Jonathan Flores
Nope oly-lifters have huge forearms and they primarily use the hook grip in their clean and snatch exercises.
Dylan Thompson
Oly lifters cant use straps. They also pull more weight than their grip can handle, so they use hook.
Faggot retard.
Daniel Martinez
they use straps in training fuckwit
Austin Brooks
What is the benefit of hook grip
Daniel Carter
Lift more
Caleb Smith
Keep your grip tighter on heavier weights than double overhand without the risk of tearing your biceps or causing imbalances like alternating grip.
Lucas Williams
why dont use mixed grip ?
Elijah Cooper
Hold more into your hands without using mixed grip because you cant clean the weight up with mixed grip
It doesnt make any sense to use it if you dont clean but retarded neckbeards on the internet will tell you the opposite
Robert Gutierrez
*tears your bicep*
HEH HEH
Ryan Price
Can I use it for curls or double under deadlifts/shrugs?
Justin Rivera
Look at it like a
Aaron Parker
>though it's probably not going to do anything
Yeah it doesn't matter for push. I've tried it just to see, and there's no discernible difference. Because the risk of a push movement isn't from the likelihood of your fingers giving out, and instead is more likely that your palm will slip or something the hook's additional finger strength from having the thumb on the outside doesn't make much difference. But try it if you want, maybe you'll like it.
Jose Flores
just hold the bar like you normally do? Wtf?
Jayden Ross
You wont tear anything if you don't curl the weight like a dumbass
Austin Howard
Dog ive been using mixed and my grip strength is still improving.
I wouldnt worry ahout it
Connor Torres
The problem with mixed isn't not training your grip, it's creating muscle imbalances and the possibility of a bicep tear
Ryan Diaz
Lock thee elbow, flex the tricep, curl curl the weight. Wow, look ma, I didn't tear my bicep while deadlifting!
Jaxon Walker
Don't* curl . DONT.
Samuel Jackson
the proper form is thy, if you're going to talk like a pompous faggot do it right
Jackson Fisher
Nah, I just misspelled "the", you TRIPLE WEAKLING. >:O
Justin Brooks
how much straps limit grip strength
Joseph Collins
>using a mixed grip can hurt your biceps
Great, one more potential injury to worry about

Henry Cooper
>it's creating muscle imbalances
just swap arms each set for no imbalances and do max single with dominant position
Aiden Richardson
Jayden Hill
I use double overhand until I can't, then I strap. After Every DL set, I lower the weight and pick it up and hold with double overhand for sets of 3. HUGE pump on the forearms and really imrpoves grip strength
Aiden Green
why do all you dickheads care about training grip so much. on the platform you’ll use either hook or mixed so train like that, and if you don’t compete it literally doesn’t matter
Ian Wright
Hook grip is fucking based. With a mixed grip I used to windmill the damn bar
Noah Barnes
We want joocy forearms, nigga. Also, grip strength has carryover in real life. Straps don't really
Jace Jones
The second guy still holds for the duration even with the bicep tear.
Damn, that's nice.
Landon Kelly
idk why dont you just lift the bar
Carter Ramirez
How do I start using it? I'm not sure I really have it right and I feel like my grip is even weaker when I try. Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong.
Joshua Adams
Hook grip kills my forearms. What % of your 1RM do you lift for 6 reps?
Luis Price
How can improve my strength with 12kg dumbbelss (forearms and bis+tris)? That's all I have at home and the gym is closed.
Jack Martin
Put them in a backpack along with any other weight you can fit in it and do deadhangs
Gavin Ward
I tried it once and the muscle that pulls the thumb afterwards hurt.
Jonathan Collins
I like the feeling of hurting myself so I use it and chalk
Asher Green
So you can grip more and the bar won't slip out of your hands in explosive movements
Lucas Ramirez
I mean, if you are really worried about this, why not do them with normal grip amd change to hook grip when you cant hold it anymore?
Jace Bennett
never do pulls for grip. no arm wrestler is doing heavy holds with a barbell lmao
Adam Harris
who gives a fuck buy straps and use them instead of autism grip
Angel Butler
Normal humans are already imbalanced, a little bit from deadlifting won't hurt you.
Luis Flores
Plenty of guides online.
Make sure you use a 28 or 28.5mm bar. I find the thicker bars are difficult to wedge my thumb under. If your gym has thick 30mm+ use mixed grip or straps unless you have Godzilla hands
Austin Powell
i do double overhand and end every workout with wrist curls and farmers walks so that i may unlock popeye mode
