makes sense to me.I have a slightly controversial take on gripping...
A powerlifter will laugh at the dude who does tricep extensions and looks to the side, knowing the potential issues and imbalances that can be caused by training asymmetrically.
The same powerlifter doesn't bat an eye at 250kg loading with one shoulder internally rotated and the other externally.
Hook grip ftw.
I see your point here, but when we're talking about deadlifts, how much of that training is targeting the shoulder?I have a slightly controversial take on gripping...

i use normal overhand until 140kg.
then i use a mixed grip, alternating bewtween sets.
also feel uncomfortable when my left hand is supinated. feel stronger the other way, though i think its a mental thing...
never tried a hook grip...cant see me getting past 140-150 with that grip, same as normal grip...
180 last friday night with mixed grip.
I'm going to give hook grip a shot tomorrow when I deadlift. Never used it before, always thought hook grip was another name for the normal over hand grip.
It will take some getting used to. It hurts like hell at first.
+ 1Alternate between each set when training, use your strongest on the day of competition.
The main function of the bicep is to supinate the hand- the arm fully extended with the hand supinated makes the bicep vulnerable.
In my view the mixed grip might keep the bar stable, but at the end of the arms are just a small factor.
