Do you change your grip on deadlifts...?

[2Shy]

I always thought it was a handedness issue, though I can see where Spatts is going with the left brain right brain idea.

Jeremys, now that you mention it, I think I've read that someplace, too.

 

[Legion Kreinak2]

Jeremy, I too have heard of that. Something like 40% muscule increase in the right arm led to a 35% increase in the left. I think the thing I read had biceps being trained. Not sure though.

or you can use a hook grip, once you get used to it.

If you use an over/under grip, you should definitely change it around.... not to say you need to change to a pronated or supinated grip, but at least swap hands.

It works the biceps and forearms unevenly, and today I was at a seminar where he said people generally pull harder with their stronger arm in that situation.... so for obvious reasons, it's benficial to change it up.

Over/Under...same way every time

 

[Robert Jan]

Left over right under.

And im a student and intellectual.

 

[SofaGeorge]

I'm left over and right under... I'm mostly retired... but I guess career wise you would describe what I do has creative.

 

[jerkbox]

Left under, right over...always.

ditto.

 

[jerkbox]

oh, and I'm a designer and have been the artist in the family for all my life.....but....also part programmer....I guess it's all just problem solving....

So my theory is pure bull. Got it.
