I suppose it has the advantage over double overhand that you can handle more weight, perhaps that is why you got good results I talk myself in to hook grip every so often, but then my hands are so beat up for days it seems to defeat the purpose, however I gues I need to just stick with it for a longer period of time | ||

Partly because the bicep as I have had some issue with my left arm but mainly because my grip is never an issue when deadlifting and also I would rather save my grip for the important stuff as a strongman (events). If you are doing lot's of arm over arm, farmers, axle etc your grip will get tonnes of work! also sometimes at event training I will do some specific grip work too. If I was a pl I wouldn't use them personally as a strongman though I think it's okay to do so | ||

 Dan is old fashioned. Member 27, 2028 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 255665.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Just to add, I tried to hook my thumb tonight ( it wasn't deadlift night, I just tried the grip on the bar ) and I definitely cannot reach, my fingers just about touch my thumb nail and can't lock it in place at all. I'm guessing I must have short fingers, I'll ask the girlfriend later  It's deadlift next session so I will do my normal deadlift routine and then do some double overhand work as heavy as I can, deads and shrugs. The grip needs to improve, no doubt about that. Thanks again to all who posted. | ||

Member 1262, 347 posts SQ 180, BP 95, DL 213488.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | he actually said its a more complicated procedure because the hernia is so small, so if i make it any bigger the operation will be less complicated and more likely to be a success! =] | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Was it a doctor you spoke to about it? "You've got a hernia so if you go away and train heavy thus making the hernia bigger it will make our life easier" Am I close? | ||

Member 1262, 347 posts SQ 180, BP 95, DL 213488.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | No he didnt speak about training regarding the hernia thats jusy my logic what he said was along the lines of 'it is a very small hernia but will need an operation, with it being so small it is quite a complicated operation as things could get stuck inside' or along those lines, the reason im still training is because before i knew it was a hernia it never gave me any trouble it was just a lump | ||
