Grip Your Deadlift Like THIS! (And Hold More Weight)

[@abdulrahmaniskan7267]

Bryce Sensei back at it again with awesome tips 🔥🔥🔥

[@AldoKosim]

Additional cues i give for my hook grip is to internally rotate the shoulder a little bit so the thumbs could achieve what you mentioned as parallel to the bar. Also flexing the triceps before pulling will help arms feels longer and solid through the pull. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps, and love your video Bryce!

[@jameslima9768]

That's pretty much how Omar's video was that made me that a ha moment with internal rotate to external rotate. Helps a ton

[@AldoKosim]

@@jameslima9768 ah didnt know that Omar Isuf has mentioned that, i figure that out while working together with my coach

There is no way i just added +20KG(44lbs) by just changing my grip

[@DevitoAllPro]

Did you actually?

[@PeanuttButtterr]

@@DevitoAllPro yea if you have weak grips it litteraly adds atleast 20kg

[@tomigainss]

Thanks BOSS 😎

[@hadhad129]

My double over hand no chalk isn't that much lower than my mixed grip or even straps. But at the start I was always failing because of grip even with mixed grip. Part of it is strengthening the fingers more than the hand which helps as you said it should not be too high in the hand. As well as I found additional grip training to be fun and cool

[@marinasarlija8476]

Finally something that makes sense!!!!!! I can't even tell you how much people were telling me that you can't grip like that! But I found that the barbell keeps on slipping out of the place. Just embracing the fact that I feel more comfortable and stable with the barbell in the first position you mentioned!!! Now I know I'm not crazy lol

[@henrids]

Thank you so much for all your tips Bryce!

[@kennyguerrero3912]

This video was very helpful & not enough people talk about this in the sport.

[@anon_ii_4514]

Gripping too high in the hand is why I get a blister/ripped callus on the ring finger every time with barbell shrugs lol idk why only happens on left hand though

[@its_james_fitness]

Chalking up and getting thiccer calluses helps too. Thanks Bryce

[@jagmortlock]

solid quick vid. Luckily, watching most of your lifts, I am doing all this already. Good to hear I'm not mad

[@kevin_rsg_18]

I feel like you made this video specifically for me lol. I've been slowly adding in hook grip, hooking the first rep of most of my sets, and struggled with it this morning

[@thelastword9594]

Definitely gripping the bar too high myself thanks for all the good tips

[@The_Practical_Bond]

I credit this to Donnie Thompson and Derek Poundstone that said to pull with an open hand. been pulling this way now for a couple years.

[@redevil4evr]

Ha I actually sent it a FCF video with a question on if the bar was too low in my hand. Just felt better in my hands and also let me have a slightly higher starting position.

[@blocburial]

I'll try this next week, thanks for the great tip Bryce. i've noticed Russell orhi had this kind of loose looking grip which was weird to me, thanks for explanation.

[@bennygilligan]

Brilliant advice I am going to give that a go

[@AZWallbreaker]

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!!!

[@phucngoduy8543]

It's exetremely easy to understand and helpful. You really save my day today! I struggled with grip for months when I reach to 120kg.

[@Eddy_BRN]

Yo Bryce! I was wondering, and this is the perfect moment. As you say, on your recent heavy deadlifts you're only getting 2 fingers on your thumb. In that video here you're showing that you can squeeze your thumb with 3 fingers. So, why is that? Just rushing a bit too much hook grip setup? / Grip slipping with heavy loads? / Your way of doing it or maybe something else? Because from my point of view and my newbie hook grip experience, I've noticed (and it seems quite logical too) that the grip is way more steady, strong, with 3 fingers instead of 2. Moreover, as you have more thumb surface over the bar with 3 fingers, it results in less thumb pressure for the same force and in the end less pain. Thank you for every friendly-learning videos. And good luck for your current prep.

[@calgarybarbell]

If you can get 3 on, great. I was just pointing out that the first two do 90% of the gripping.

[@JasonAlex1984]

Starting taking these tips into my deadlifts, specifically using hook group. Went and did 5x5 yesterday t 70% and could only do two sets before thumbs felt destroyed. Should I reduce the weight or reps and is there a schedule you would recommend with adding more weight to it?

[@thelastword9594]

Best channel 🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@adrianrodriguez2686]

Ok so, I'd heard about grabbing the bar at the base of the fingers to avoid ripping calluses, did it for over a year and had no issue with it. Now I had it in my head that that was the common-sense, right way to grip the bar, and that all top powerlifters were doing it. However two weeks ago, I was arguing about it with a friend, who claimed it was better to grip it deeper in the hand and squeeze the bar hard, and that that was the way everyone did it. So I went on KZbin to show him some videos of IPF champions pulling with that finger grip, but to my surprise pretty much everyone grabs the bar way deeper. I decided to give it a go, and it immediately added 10kg to my 1RM that day, and another 7'5kg over the next couple of sessions. So I'm confused about this...🤷 I think my conclusion is that for higher reps the "finger grip" rolls less, is less painful, and doesn't tear my calluses quite as much, but for a heavy single, i find chalking up, grabbing with the whole hand and squeezing hard gives me more confidence and makes the whole thing feel easier That's my 2cents anyway

Great tips!

[@harelperry7051]

hey Bryce this channel is absolutely great! when is the best ideal time to train ? and what about morning workout after breakfast ?

[@Jensen_MacD]

Something for some people who struggle with hook grip is try to do middle and ring finger. I have no clue why but I struggled with the first two fingers (like most people use), saw a video of someone saying use middle/ring finger. I have had no issues with hook grip since then and it is going on 3-4 years of using it

[@PlaciSantos]

Great video

[@timk8258]

Do you have any tips for increasing hook grip strength once you have the technique figured out? I have struggled with it since tearing my bicep a year and a half ago. Never been able to hook grip over 585 (and honestly that was slipping at the lockout) whereas I've pulled 700 with straps. I've tried it a bunch of different ways, but it seems like I just need to get stronger. Right now I'm trying to improve it by doing static holds for time (up to 435 for 40 seconds). I'm also trying to do the first rep of my work sets with hook grip before switching to straps when doing lighter volume work. Do I just need to give it more time or is there some other method that would help to make it stronger?

[@calgarybarbell]

Static holds with as much as you can. Hold the last rep of every set for ~6 seconds. After you’re done deadlifting, bring the weight down and do 1-2 sets of 20sec hold deadlifts

[@timk8258]

@@calgarybarbell Thank so much for the reply! Interesting that you recommend 20 second static holds, I've been doing 30 second holds and trying to increase the time from there but I have been starting to think that's just tearing up my hands more and not really making me stronger for a single rep. I'll try the shorter holds with heavier weight.

That was a big thing for me and why I switched to hook grip!

[@JasonLeeno]

Calgary Barbell Well I guess it’s time to bring in the pain lol

[@CaptDantastic]

I usually double overhand, cupping low with thumbs behind until 365, then switch to mixed grip. Am I compromising my grip this way?

[@calgarybarbell]

I don’t see that being an issue at all

[@itsfranmelvi7778]

What’s the difference between hook and overhand?

[@DrAlexStrahle]

With a hook grip, your thumb is trapped between your fingers and the bar. The thumb is "hooked" It providers a CW and CCW force so the bar cannot roll out. It's generally announced as the strongest grip, but also the most painful

[@gymweeb9229]

Yeah... hock grip is absolutely impossible for me... People constantly say just get a thinner bar or saying i’m doing it wrong... until they realize that I have super super small hands with short fingers for a 6’2 hands... Makes the penis look bigger though lel

[@curtisclement5467]

Does the first point also apply to exercises like pulls and rows? I've seen Athleanx talking about gripping the bar deep to avoid excess stress on the medial elbow so I would be interested to hear your view on this
