I can't tell from the pics, was he using a thumbless grip?

Looks like he's using a thombless grip on the first pic. After seeing this I just might change my grip in the bench .

No Garry does not use a thumbless grip. I have seen people use either grip and still drop the bar -- it happens.

 

[Bobba]

Okay... Just looked like that. Guess it is more likely to drop the bar without thumbs anyway. Don't think I'll really change my grip however, since I enjoy lifting the way I do... Ribs heal

He`s lucky to be alive.

I spoke to Garry about this and when the bar is headed the wrong way two thumbs wouldnt have mattered anyways, not with 700. he does use a grip with thumbs on the bar though.

Look for a 755 or so from him aug 12th in orlando! and another total in the 2600s. 2700 in his sights for november

I'm suprised he only cracked two ribs......
