Make sure to subscribe to Sean's channel. He was extremely gracious with his time. We spent hours on this. Recording at night + researched other videos to make sure we could bring something fresh. If he agreed 100% with existing tutorials, we wouldn't have made it. Hope it's helpful!

bryce’s channel on calgary barbell is criminally underrated when it comes to powerlifting content

Watched 2 hours ago; just got done with my deadlifts 2 minutes ago; returned to let youse know that in my 5 years of hook gripping it’s never felt stronger or more natural than now.

Letting the bar just sit (and not squeeze with all your might) lower in the fingers really is the key.

Sean Noriega: "Let me just say the same thing again but different"

I cant thank you both enough, i watched this video yesterday and went into the gym today and totally fixed my hook grip. Pain gone, max +50lbs. Just from the grip, also just finished the candito 6 weeks program and that added 35lbs to my squat.

That point about not digging to deep is world altering for me. I will try that out tomorrow. Thanks!

Bought two things of Preworkout but I wasn't able to use your discount code because there is a St Patricks day discount automatically applied. But I did make sure to message them personally and let them know you sent me. Thanks for the unparalleled free content Jonnie

Sean is just built different. total beast

This is a good tutorial for those who are already using hook grip, not really for beginners

Jokes on you Sean, I cant get a deep grip with hook grip because my hands are so small.

Great tutorial, was very informative. Grabbing the bar too deep was something I stopped doing a few months ago. My pulls feel so much smoother now.

One of the best videos out there about the hook grip.

here from TooBuff4This

Babe wake up, Jonnie and Sean dropped a new collab.

why does it feel like somehow sean is out of focus and lower res when he's standing right next to jonnie

OMG this video is literally perfect timing. I was just about to try hook grip for the first time when I saw this pop up in my feed. Thanks! Great tips, thumbs still hurt a lot though.

Man I really wanna learn this, I wish there are actual shots of Sean's hand grabbing the bar from underhand view demonstrating step by step. There is a shot but he's so fast when you slow it down its nothing but a blur lol

I just tried these techniques. Worked well for me! Faster off the floor, and no messing around with setup! Thank you both!!

The first hook grip video I saw was omar's. It was game changing for me. Bryce's video also gave me more info to apply and try. Very helpful. I feel this video will be the same. I like being able to take all the info from everyone and coming up with my own way to skin the cat.

watched this video and experimented with it for about 1 month. today, ladies and gentlemen, i have mastered the art of the hookage 😤🤝

My hands are literally salivating while watching this

Johnny, I think you may have legit succeeded at your goal on this one. I've tried switching to hook grip more times than I can count, and anything more than 300 lb was just stapled to the floor unless I went to a mixed grip. Yesterday, I hook gripped well over that for 3 reps using the setup and method you talked about. No idea if it'll hold up at 1 RM weights, but I'm guessing it probably will. Thanks.

Those legs are huuuge 😱😱

This video is amazing, I watch plenty of videos on this topic and could never get it right. My first time trying hook grip I was able to pull

Great video as usual. It's crazy how many people need this. I've always hooked similar to Sean's unknowingly and never had to put any more thought into it and I've pulled up to 750 and passed out before my grip gave out

Someone send this to Jamal lol

3 minutes of info packed into 20 minutes... however did you do it

THANK YOU!! Tried this today... game changer, instantly comfortable!

Yes! Ive said tried to tell this to loads of people and this is the first video ive seen that demonstrates hookgrip how i do it. I have always been confused about why people get thumb callous as ive used hookgrip for 8+ years and never had this. For me im stronger when i use hookgrip vs straps as i feel i have a slightly shorter ROM

wish this video had been out when i started hook gripping, took me like 5 months to figure out on my own

Thank you, I ripped half my hand off the other day trying to do my top single and top set of 5 hook. Ill save it only for singles next time.

When you've tried hook grip on day 1 and never had any issue ever lol still watched the whole video

Thank you for this amazing content. I am working on my hook grip now and I m still not used to it. It s gonna help me a lot

Sounds like the chorus of your latest hit club song Jonny, 🎵Hang it Low, push away, let it daangle🎶

Happy I saw this video. I use to think hook was holding with index finger

This man just turned my hand into a strap

BRUH, THIS VIDEO IS VERY HELPFUL, THANK YOU BOTH CANDITO AND SEAN =D

had the cotton candy preworkout and the taste is 10/10

Great work fellas, thank you so much

I hook everything since I started heavy lifting. I don´t feel anything anymore... I'm not just talking about my thumbs

Thanks for sharing guys! Sean is Brilliant

My double overhand grip got much better by doing behind the back barbell forearm curls. Use a barbell on a flatbench, racked. Grab it behind ur back, palms facing the bar and arms about shoulder/deadlift width apart, light enough weight to do about 8-10 reps. Open your hands and Let the barbell roll down your fingers then curl your fingers into a fist then curl your hands flexing your Forearms. I do these after Deadlifts and my hands have become hydrolic clamps lol

Gonna need to try this. Great vid.

Been searching about this today for a friend. This could definitely help.

hook grip have been feeling natural since the first time for me

fantastic video can't wait to try this

I was waiting for this video for so long. Thanks Johnny 👍

Awesome video Jonnie. I've always had trouble hook gripping 750lb+, it's either hit or miss. This video is a game changer.

EPIC video, such great tips in here, totally going to help me. Thank you!!

Im going to watch this since today I hook gripped and ripped a callous so let’s see if there’s better technique here haha

Thank you boys, needed this

😂 Chest at the end! Classic play by play.

Does the shoulder internal rotation cue apply to conventional deadlift too?

the internal rotation shoulder to let the bar sit on the under thumb instead of the side is just game changer to reduce pain, also let the bar dangle like balls on the bottom of the thumbs is just so AGHHH~~ good.

can you do this if fingers are the size of baby carrots

Man john started some ludicrous shit from the start XD i lovin it

This video is so necessary. I hook gripped for years, but I could never get it to work reliably once I got beyond the low 600s. No one had useful advice re: how to fix my issue(s). Eventually gave up on hook, but now I want to try again.

I do understand the points that been said. However not sure this will work with short limb guy like myself. Ive short arm & fingers. But tried Bryce method of acrossing the thumbs. That's work for me

Would this be considered more power lifting specific? Or would a looser grip be applicable to oly lifts as well. Genuine question because I’ve never seen anything from Olympic lifters about having a looser grip on the bar and they’re the ones using it the most.

Ok, now we're just gonna wait for the arching video! Thanks 😂🥰

Anyone here after toobuff4this shoutout?

Thank you for this video! This is very good

All I want is Seans quads and that intro with aaaaahhhhhhh

Should do a tutorial on how to do his 1 inch bench ROM.........

I'm confused about the internal rotation thing. If I don't "pinch my armpits shut" then I can't set my upper back. So I'm confused. And it seems like you're doing it before you pull?

Just got liquid chalk on amazon, will be here by deadlift session this week. I appreciate the keys

Great video! That hook grip takes some time to get used to.

Now I can hook grip 60kg too

small thumbs, gave up on hook grip, pain was so bad even after months of doing it that I was actually anticipating deadlift day and getting anxious about it, just doing plain old mixed grip and hoping for the best with regards to biceps tear

The chestnificent seal of approval

Best hook grip video i ever soon

I really wanna switch to hook grip on my deads and I'm gonna try to implement those cues next week! Will let you know how it went...😅 but thanks so much for that great content!

I pull double underhand.

Thing is it slips where the bar doesn’t have the grip part and is just smooth, even with chalk

Sean is one of the most explosive pullers in the game..

Whenever I have a top set, I only pull that set hook grip. Then the lower weight working sets, straps. But if it’s all singles , I would probably do them all hook grip

Thanks, great video

Game changing grip change for me. It’s a counterintuitive grip, but once you try it, you won’t go back to anything else.

Meanwhile Belkin doing this for the last 6 years.. 💁 very good video!!!🙌

I watched this video at 4 pm and pulled at 6:30 pm - IMMEDIATE difference day 1

Here from toobuff4this

3x5xThankYou - game changer

Where can I get that red shirt????🤩

A day late just ripped my thumb callus off yesterday lol. Guess I've been doing it wrong. Quick question the internal rotation of the shoulder and elbows out same for conventional? Thanks for the tips going to put them to work. Great content!

Thank you very much.

I think you've succeeded in your aim to post the best tutorial on this

Great !!!

Appreciate the detail and depth of explanation with scenarios 👌👌✌

Hey Jonnie, one thing that is odd to me, not arguing the point just not what I’ve ever seen, is the internal rotation of the elbows. Obviously Sean has pulled some serious weight so he’s still creating lat tension but was this something you found difficult to accomplish?

Don't mind me. Just liking, commenting, and watch the whole vid for the algorythm

Bro shirts! Candito HQ. I'm keen to support you Jonnie you're content is ace.

Sean has some crazy legs

Damn. This really just changed my life

11:53 - why sean noriega standing like handsome squidward

Thanks for this.

I find it easier to get that “lowest point” hook much easier on a Rogue Power Bar as opposed to a deadlift bar. The smaller girth of a DL bar gives me the issues of “over hooking” and I do experience the bar roll. The slight increase of thickness in the power bar actually forces me not to overbook.

ive been using their stim free preworkout for almost 2 years. L citrulline is great

That reminds me of how Oleksii Novikov grips the bar with straps during deadlifts. He loosens the straps to let the bar hang low in his hands. To the point his fingers barely make contact with the bar. That actually makes him lock the knees with less bar travel compared to a "normal" grip where the bar travels higher. Some people find this controversial. I think he's just smart.

could you comment on how this translates into a conventional set up for deadlift, not sumo.
