Was at PTC Franga today with a few others, and we started talking about different ways you can grip the bar.
With 120kg I tried (pulling conventional) clean grip, hook grip, then mixed grip but with alternating hands (if that makes sense).
Now, normally I pull with my left hand supinated, and the right pronated. With the reps where I swapped over I noticed the bar came up a lot faster and it felt lighter, despite feeling more unco. Is there any reason for this? I'm considering (after tomorrow obviously) swapping my grip over and just making it un-unco.
I know Firas pulls with a hook grip, and Markos made mention of someone at PTC who had trouble controlling the bar (it was swaying) with a mixed grip, tried hook grip and hit a new deadlift PB
