Which grip do you use for dead lifts?

I recently discovered that if I have one hand facing out and one facing in the lift is much easier.
And more friends that dead lift is always cool too. :bigsmile:

Yes! I thought that grip looked so awkward until I tried it.0

That is called the mixed grip and that is definitely the one I use as well.0
-
I have both hands facing in. I have tried using the hook-grip but sometimes it hurts my thumbs.0
-
I use double overhand up to about 150kg, then mixed from there up.0

overhand for warm up and romanian, mixed for the heavy ones.0

For a workout, double overhand until grip strength fails, then straps.
I save alternate grip for PRs as it can strain the bicep in the arm with the flipped hand, or build imbalances if over-used. I've tried hook grip as well, and pulled some fairly heavy weights with it, but it is somewhat painful at heavier weights.0 -
I train with the knuckles of both hands facing forward until my grip fails, then I switch to mixed grip.0

When I went from a standard grip (both hands on top of the bar) to a split or alternating grip (what you do), I broke through my wall on deadlift weight. Ends up it was that my grip was not strong enough, not my legs, lol.
I do purposely switch my grip (which hand faces up and which is down) from set to set to help strengthen my grip on both sides.0 -

double over hand for lighter weights like warm-ups or if I'm doing Romanian Deads...mixed grip for heavier weight.0

I mix and match all three. Hook grip most of ther time- as much as possible, palms forward on high rep Romanians, and mixed for heaviest weights (alternating hand postions with every set).0

Pretty much always mixed, but I pull sumo. If I pulled conventional, I'd probably try to get away with double overhand for as heavy as possible.0

I go to mixed after my warm up sets.

Mixed, alternating which hand is facing inward.0
