tried to do diddlies with hookgrip today it literally didn't allow me to even lift the weight idk

can anyone explain in detail how to actually grip the bar? is the problem that i have massive hands? all gym stuff seems to have been created for manlets, like benches for example

I've been lifting for a year and a half and I'm at 4,5pl8 diddly and my old gym had free to use straps but this one doesn't

do i just buy straps?

wtf is going on?

You dont use hook grip for deadlift imo

Just for olympic lifts and accessories

current powerlifters set up grip mega fast and use hookgrip

in training halls weightlifters use hookgrip for diddlies too

i just wanna learn it but i don't get it at all

>state sponsored roidtrannies

>>70690669 (OP)

no one actually uses the hookgrip, its a meme to see how retarded new powershitters are

>>70690669 (OP)

just buy straps

Can you lift with double overhand but not hook?

she's a cuck wtf?

no, but like every single Italian weightlifter she’s a massive cold chested chocker

Your thumbs are the hooks. Loop them around the bar in attempt to have them touch the underside of your knuckles. Then use your index and middle finger to try and wrap around your thumb and touch the bar. When executed correctly the bar should be resting in the crook of your thumbs. And large hands are not an excuse, I have freakishly long pianist spider fingers and I hook grip everything

It's bizarrely specific thing to learn. Even advocates only recommend it for sets of 1-3 reps. So you still need straps or to learn alternate grip for trainjng anyway. Hook grip doesn't train grip more than either of those, and so it's only worth learning of you're going to compete.

This guy right here. Follow his advice.

>Better grip on everything

>better forearms



Yeah you might have to .....lower the wieght....*gasp*, but it's worth it for the results you receive.

If you wouldnt fuck the shit out of Giulia you are gay

I train 100% WL and honestly I would agree, it's absolutely necessary for snatch/clean but outside of that you can just use straps, that's what we do

It works well and is a potentially valuable technique to know how to do but it isn't necessary for general lifters.

>she’s a massive cold chested chocker

Can someone please explain what this means?

Grab bar, tuck the thumb under the index and middle fingers, requires pushing the bar into the web between your index finger and thumb pretty hard if you have small hands

Lift as normal

Maybe tape your thumbs

Shrimple as that

thats a man

>dude...le girl but...she lifts weight!! mega fr*cken epic!!!

fuck off faggot.

>>70690669 (OP)

line up all the joints of your four fingers and then press the tips of your thumbs against the first joint of your index fingers and grip as hard as possible

>>70690669 (OP)

Grab the sides of your thumbs and turn the bar out slightly. Dont “dig” the skin between your thumb and fingers into the bar, rather set up a little looser but grip tight 



Homosexual. Imagine not wanting to fuck a (hot) olympic athlete
