I tried my hands with the hook grip today on those SGDLs. It hurt like the devil…but my grip was way stronger. I didn’t have to adjust it even one time. I just kept pulling and the bar stayed tight in my hands. Hook Grip, you’ll be seeing more of me.

Some Oly lifters put athletic tape over their thumb to ease the ‘discomfort’ of the hook grip.
