Deadlift Question - FOR THE LIFTERS

JNick77

You misunderstood my post. Injury can happen at any given time doing any given lift, **** just happens. The tendency to tear one using a mixed grip is high if you don't use it all the time. If you warm up with a hook grip and then lift your main work with a mixed then it's probably not good. If you warm-up with the mixed and then do your worksets, you're fine. People lift with mixed grip all the time and men have DL'd 1,000 lbs using it and been fine. I definitely recommend using a mixed grip while doing heavy deadlifts. I also made no reference to alternating grips.

The information I provided was obtained by reading information from people considerably more experienced and stronger than anybody in this thread, but take it as you will. I just wanted to point-out the potential problems of starting your workout with one grip and then finishing your heaviest sets with a mixed grip.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I did misunderstand. I think I have it now.
