Author Topic: How much can you deadlift double overhanded? (Read 4918 times)

Without hook grip of course. I did 150 kg/330 lbs. The start is the hardest where you have to get the bar moving, once it's up there it's fairly easy to hold. I accept rack pulls also.

I've done a double with 445 (200kilos) standing on a box.
no hook grip.

I get 315 for 10 with that grip, then switch to alternate for my heavier sets.

before i hurt my back for the 2nd time 495 for 2 or 3 reps on my last work set...with straps

probably a solid 5 or so with no previous work sets with straps of course.

405 for a few reps (5-6). Hook grip=less.

I thought hook grip = double overhand

Someone explain the difference.

I googled images since I couldn't get a straight answer.

And I've never tried that grip, but it would seem you should be able to get just as much weight, what's the problem?

I just dont like it, haha. Feels like my thumbs are going to tear off! Switch grip is just fine for me on anything over 405.

I know, I wear a belt when I lift that much.

jon, is that something you have always done or did you work up in weight going beltless?

You have an elite grip.

So IMO 550 is fcuking insane. LOL.

Nice to see that ~~masturbation~~ grip training is running strong on Getbig's Powerlifting board.

d.o grip.
at my bdw i can perform 10 perfect chins, i can also stay suspended at the chins bar with one hand for a long time.

Usually after 350 I have to switch to opposed grip unless I am doing partial rack pulls. I don't think its a question of grip for me it just seems to be unnatural to move the weight in that way when I start to get heavy.
