He is using a hook grip, which is still very impressive.  The Gillingham brothers all have great grip strength and overall bodily strength.

I looked it up, since chris musclebear wasn't answering.

A hook grip is when you wrap your fingers over your thumb:


What you're talking about is simply an over-under grip.

Yes, that is a hook grip.  It is most commonly used by Olympic lifters and is stronger than a standard grip, but weaker than a mixed grip.

IMHO it is easier to lock weights out with it and safer for the biceps.

Big Brad is IMO a true legend, one of the greatest of all time.

Podtynni pulled 880+ lbs in the deadlift with a hook grip (was suspended for doping though).

His thumbs must be like one dollar coins. 8)

That video was from a demo they did at the Arnold 2 years ago. Brad's demo was done in one of the rooms up on the second floor and we were directly underneath of it at the Olympic lifing venue and when he was dropping his lifts the whole building was shaking.
