threw this shirt on to the gym cause I know Kobe had this mentality. Ish was one of the hardest workout today simply cause I’m fatigued. Still hit all the numbers today.

Yes, it is until you get used to it. Even then it still hurts a little.


Last time I DLed was Friday and I've already scrubbed my hands with a pumice stone. I don't think my hands will ever not have calluses.

Never used tape. Just made sure I chalked my thumb all the way around.

I use hook grip.

Took a while to get over the pain, now I can hook over 400lbs.

My advise is to use it until you can't during a session, then revert to your double overhand for the remaining reps. Some also advise to tape the thumb, but I feel like it's a waste of tape. Good luck.

 

[hyper cutter]

Think of hook grip as less of a grip and more of a cradle. You don't actually want to actually squeeze it. The point of the hook grip is to eliminate the need for a squeezey grip.

Once you take this approach is shouldn't hurt. Though i would suggest wrapping the thumb or getting little thumb sleeves.

 

[DonRafa]

tape helps with the grip on the thumb, also keeps it from getting torn up if you have a bar with rough knurling.

self stick tape is cheap and flexible, it won’t anaconda squeeze your thumb

Yeah, got mine from AliExpress for ~$50 shipped. Shipping is a bit slow. Never used a Hypervolt but I'm sure they are comparable in performance.

I got a hypervolt knock off from ebay for $70, got it in two days. I used to have a theragun and that thing was crazy loud. the knock off isnt as strong but works well, especially for the price

Need me a cup of black coffee, feeling sluggish today

 

[GreenNGold89]

Tried hook grip today and I definitely see why people do it, especially for sumo. Used it for my sets up until 315, after that thumb was too sore so had to switch back to mixed grip but going to keep at it until I can use it for max loads.

 

[BranchLifestyle]

Where is that little asian man that was talking big, funny how they disappear so quick.

Who? I'm little and Asian, but I wasn't talking big tho....least I don't think so.

 

[ahat]

I think he meant @GPS

 

[BranchLifestyle]

Damn, he was talking spicy??
