    I thought that was called a lazy grip? Never heard of an illegal grip, aside from a stack of stolen bank money in your pocket.

    I believe the National Strength & Conditioning Association calls it a false grip. Skullsmasher, check out the powerlifting forum because posted a question on the false grip. There was a chiropractor who answered the reasoning behind this grip. Very interesting.
