Same... double overhand until 'had' to switch to Mixed Grip.grouchyjarhead wrote:I always did double overhand on my warm up sets until I had to switch to a mixed grip. Between those and farmer's walks, I never lost a deadlift with a barbell due to my grip and my best pull was 545 @ 181. Farmer's walks are still an undervalued exercise in my opinion.
I belong in the "lift what my body is capable of, without aids" camp...... I am not training for a P/L meet..... I'm training to be strong enough in life.... no need to use aids just to make some 'stroke the ego' numbers on my lifts.
On the road to 500 D/L, but no interest in belts, straps, Stir it up music [indeed my personal favourite for max strength is the man of steel soundtrack....not much in the way of rocking, amping up in that album I can tell you
]Nicely said, mate
