How do you grip the bar when deadlifting

 

[kaz]

I do a mixed grip but the right/dominant hand is the alternate grip, not the usual non dominant.

used to be both overhand, but then i had to use straps, since changing mixed grip i have dropped the straps and my grip has been fine so far....

for me it's left hand under, right hand over

Hook grip.

 

[bert.]

varies for me it's always one over one under and swap grip for the next set

Same for me

I've just been grabbing it overhand (both hands) like a pull up bar. No locking or anything. Heaviest I've done was 180 which was no problem. I've done so many fucking doorway chin ups I think my fingers are stupidly strong.

Both hands over until it gives out then I alternate over/under from left to right so I don't favour one over the other.

same as above. Alternating works although I know for sure my right hand has way stronger grip than my left. Which is very strange, yes I am right handed but you wouldn't think holding a pen there would give it that much of a strength/endurance advantage!

if I'm doing the loathsome exercise, two hands over until about 180, then use the alternate grip.

Same here.
Tried mixing them around but it just doesn't feel right

I generally try and use overhand as much as possible.. but usually it's mix grip (alternating each set).

Over hand for me. With ezy grips due to nerve damage in my hands from crashing the dirtbike years ago

 

[Felixflex]

left hand over, right hand under for 1RM

 

[morgan000]

i start off both hands over and as the weight progresses I go left hand over and right hand under.
