Why's My Grip So Much Stronger When I Use A Swith Compared To Doub

[Mitch Kirchner]

My support grip is so much stronger with a switch grip than double overhand. I only use the switch on my really heavy sets tho, when I need it. I know everyone can hold onto much more weight when they have one over, one under than a double overhand, but why?

Because each hand is putting pressure against the other.

[Jedd Johnson]

The bar will not rotate because the hands are wrapped in opposite directions around the bar.

Ever try a hook grip?

Heavy lockout double overhand with limited range of motion will help.

Rotation is the enemy of us all.
