I used hook grip for a while, but I might just switch to straps for going really heavy because it genuinely feels like my thumb is going to rip off or break and and don't want to push it.

There was a guy at the gym who took hook grip so seriously he carved knurling into his thumb and fingernail in order to improve his hook grip. True story

A truly pleasant experience

Every time I've seen someone tear a bicep on a deadlift it's been alternate grip. Every. Time.

Pro tip: get vet tape, the self adhesive flexible almost cloth like tape that is used on animals because it won't stick to fur. Wrap your thumbs and thank me later

Solid method but one flaw is if you dislike going thru pain don’t try. After I hit a 465 DL using this grip my thumb itself was crying 😅

Great video. The hook grip is awesome!!

This is a very nice reel, and thank you 😊

Hate that asymm grip. Hook hurts, but works great.

That’s so simple but so smart!

Nice .. thumb Hook … I never knew … I’ll use it next week

This is genius

Yeah then the tendons in your bird finger rip and you drop that shit hard. Ask me how I know!

I just use straps to preserve the beatoff endurance needed in these fragile ittybitty sticks of forearms that I have

No doubt!

That's dangerous without knowledge, but it is amazing once understood!

Don't let your grip and forearms be the limiting factor for your deadlifts. Use straps. There are much better forearm workouts to do.

Ahh yes, I remember learning it. Felt good. Felt raw. 😂

The hook grip has been around like forever I do use it I told a guy this hook grip at the gym he told me I’m crazy it will take your thump off I know I was right but I wonder if he ever found out eventually a lot of people didn’t know about it not even the personal trainers who have trained people for years I would ask them about it do you know about the hook grip they would not know all that college all that money and studying didn’t even know about the hook grip that weightlifting and powerlifting athletes use

Here’s to trying to remember this next time I do dead lifts……..
