Suicide Grip

[plateau2]

I used this for my overhead work today, I think I'm going to carry on using it.

Any other opinions on here?

Good to know, I don't think I'll do it for Fat Grip stuff though!!

Thumbless is comfortable to me - I use it for chins + rows, as well as squats. I've experimented with thumbless jerks à la Marc Huster as well as benching, and while it felt pretty good, the possibility of dropping the bar on my head/face didn't really seem worth the risk.

Been meaning to try it on a regular oly bar with overhead work for ages, always use it on an axle.

I have been using for back work too (not chins as I'm a wimp) when I hurt my elbows - PK recommended it.

Aparrently reduced stress on the shoulder joint for oh work. Apparently.
