type of grip when doing deadlifts

[pullinbig]

ive seen them in stores but never used them or even seen many people in the gym using them, how are you liking them?

what?

i do both. i use neutral for lighter weight and for heavy weight i use over/under. i like over/under better, but i hear from many that the side with the under hand can build that trap more. so i switch my under hand left and right sometimes. I dont know if that is true with the traps but it makes sense to me, and i dont want to get used to 1 certian grip.

what?

my mistake, i thought you were talking about the straps with the hooks.

hook grip is what olympic lifters use since they have to be dbl overhand but have a secure grip.
