kimwood Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 boy, I'd think about that one...great way to pull a biceps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I don't think you would be able to pull enough weight double underhand to hurt yourself. It sounds like a good ideal give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 yeah i was sort on wondering about the biceps but then again i hight doubt i could pull enough weight to cause any harm should be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Jeremy - I'd really have to think about "why" you are adding them into your routine. If Kim Wood with all his experience says don't do them, my guess is he's seen them tried with bad results. Personally, I won't even do mixed grip dead lift because of the danger of a biceps pull and the uneven way it loads you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 good point Chris. i guess double overhand will do the trick just as nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I havent done them on a fat bar, but I have done them on a reg bar. I did them to help better my hand offs in trianing on the bench. If you do try them, what are they like on the thumb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The idea seems ackward to me. Maybe instead of those you could try doing some thickbar chins or hangs with the palms facing you. Also, why do full deads with the weight? Maybe just holds in the rack with that grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 no DU on an axle deadlifts. my biceps wouldn't be so happy about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I've tried DU (very) partial deads recently. felt really hard on the thumbs, much harder than on the DO version, strangely. I personally like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 i like the idea about partials or maybe thick bar chins it seems to hit the spot as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
