OT: Overhand Hook Grip Deadlift (WARNING: Half-naked man ahead :P)

[joeybutts]

I normally don't do this on this forum, but it has been an epic growth over the last month for my grip and hook grip. My max deadlift at beginning of August with alternating grip was 475, and today I hit 465 with an overhand hook grip. Pretty stoked and couldn't help but share.

I don't lift any more, and I really should, but it cuts into my drinking. I used to 300+ on deadlifts like that, and towards the end all I ever did was about six exercises. Dead lift, squats, bench, bent over row, and clean and jerk.

However, I never once mooned an entire forum full of old guys

HAhahahaha. Sorry dudes, I didn't even get to that thought. :p Maybe I should have put that in the warning instead? :D

I'm hoping to get 500 by November with an alternating grip.

Keep on gripping, I hear you start to use those sally straps...

If you find the grip strength is your limitation, spend a couple hours a week walking around holding the 45# plates between your fingers. That is what the phone book rippers do to get their grip up there. That, and cheat.

I never used straps on deads. Used to use them on cleans and snatch but not for a long time now.

Use to lift and go to meets alot....I'm not to old I just got lazy. Johnny is right the "pinch grip" will make you hands strong. I competed in the 148 lb class.

Just a thought that you might consider a hard core gym/ coach as you go up in weight. Your b_tt seemed a bit high, IMO

Yeah, I'm pretty good about form and knowing when I am getting too far out of shape. I was probably 10-20 lbs from max, so fought through.

I never had the nerve to try overhead squats.
