How do you pull your deads????

**MotoLifter** · 11-02-2009, 06:00 PM

Just wanted to get some insight from other people. I was wondering what grip people use to pull deads?

I use and under/over cause it feels the most solid and comfortable, but every cideo i see of bicep tears during a deadlift is using the under/over grip, and specificly the under-hand!

I am starting to get alil worried as my dead weights are going up and gettin pretty heavy.

Any thoughts, ideas, comments are welcome. just wondering what other people are doin.

i use under/over but switch every set and make sure i do even numbers of sets starting with my right hand supinated (my weaker grip).im pretty keen to hear others thoughts on this as I fear the same thing.

I use both over hand w/ lift straps and never has a problem holding on to the bar. I'm paranoid about keeping the weight evenly distributed as well as symmetrical growth

Roman Grip, over, or under, I love it.

over and under mostly, i switch grips every month, month and a half, right now im using snatch grip with both over hand. straps when i get too heavy

usually....they say with both hands over you pull 65-70% of your max but it will increase grip strength

I use over-under it helps me use less of my back than my legs, and switch every 2 reps. then ill use hang cleans to work on grip with both over helps a lot for me.
