Title: Get a Grip...
Post by: A2daMIR on April 05, 2008, 04:44:28 PM

i just noticed that i use a false (thumbless) grip on almost 90% of my excercises.... really the only excercises i DONT use a false grip is:
Shrugs
Deadlifts
Hammer Curls
Lat/Front Raises

 other than that i use false grip on everything including Flat/Dec/Inc presses. shoulder presses whether it be BB or DB, Curls etc...


i feel it much better with false grip specially for back movements, what about you guys? what do you use and dont use false grip on

I only use a monkey grip on pull downs and seated rows. They tend to hit my bis to hard with a normal grip.

Whatever is most comfortable, I prefer a false grip.
