doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	This site could really do with a search option. I'm going to try and develop a hook grip for deadlifting. My plan is to warm up with a hook and see if I can push it along all the way up to my top sets. Any hints or tips ? How long do you think it'll take ?

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200 500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 02.08.2012 @ 14:38 PM by youngy It will come very quickly. Just try to do a heavier warmup each time with the hook grip. Once your thumbs get used to it, it should come on pretty quickly! Having said that, I haven't stuck with hook grip long enough to use it with top weights but I don't imagine it would take me too long either! Regarding the search function, you can use google to search thise site. If you start your google search with site:sugdenbarbell.co.uk then your search term it only returns stuff from this site. Like so : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Asugdenbarbell.co.uk+hook+grip

However that dose depent how often you pull a week with the hook?

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	1369phil said:Where can you buy the tape (Pharmacists) ? Any mileage in making the thumbnail a little scored (for grip) ? Is the tape legal for use in powerlfting comps ? Boots do the tape and I'd assume most pharmacies would. I can't see there being any mileage in scoring the thumbnail at all and if you score to deep it's going to be kinda painful! One thing I find with the hook grip is it's manageable for singles but it hurts like a b**ch if you're doing multiple reps. I actually still hook grip the bar when using a mixed grip. I don't know whether it improves my grip even moreso???

How long do you think it'll take ? I forced my partner into hook grip as he would do double overhand up to about 95% of his max. He pulled hook grip and hit a 5rm PR first session. I don't get the pain thing, it's really not that bad.

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	Hook grip maxes 5 rep sets 10 rep sets Even 20 rep sets I know my deadlift isn't high, but makes no difference. I don't feel any pain whatsoever I have been Hook gripping every workout for over 5 years and well used to it
