When Deadlifting With A Mixed Grip...

[Magnus]

Just testing out an idea. Reply with your vote and your handedness, too.

I always pull left under, right over.

[JAU1985]

It's not like I've spent a lot of time deadlifting in my life (only maybe a dozen times in my life, but I'm going to change that) though when I do, I use Left hand over, right hand under. I have always used the mixed grip, never really tried anything else.

Left under Right over

I am left handed

[Sher]

When I use mixed grip, I pull with left under, right over, and I'm right-handed.

[chop163]

I only really deadlift double over, but if I'm using reverse grip, left over and right under. I'm right handed.

[mbcx6pmw]

Left over right under, left handed. When doing rack pulls I try to alternate the two, always feels weird the other way though.

[Pancake Sprawl]

left over, right under left handed. i usually do double overhand though.

[CoC#3]

Left over, right under.

I'm right handed.

[Kormaz]

Left hand under, right hand over. I'm also right handed but the other way around feels strange to me, i can do both but when i go to lift this is the grip that i always end up using.

[Guest Bullitt]

Almost always go DO, but when I mix, it is left under, right over. I am right handed.

[eltorrente]

Never even tried switching grip from double overhand. Can't imagine I'd need to until I reach insane poundages.

I only pull DO now but back in the day it was Left over, Right under and I'm mostly right handed.

If I use a reverse grip my left hand is typically under. I usually just use straps though.

[climber511]

I never liked reverse - either way I turned it felt wrong. I use a hook grip now (have for a very long time) - when it gets too much to just DO - straps on occasion.

[MalachiMcMullen]

Dominant hand usually goes overhand when using mixed grip.

I'm right handed so my right hand is over and left is under.

[Autolupus]

Mostly right handed and swap between both on each set...but if I had to just go and lift, my natural reaction would be left over/right under.

[OldGuy]

left over right under, but prefer non mixed and no hook grip

[RPGoodfellow]

Left under, right over. I'm very right handed.

[John Beatty]

I pull maxes with right under, but I alternate each set up to that.

Don't want to get out of balance

[rico300zx]

I do right over, mixed grip, I am right handed, but I may do some DO with my thick bar on my way to 550 chalenge to change up the pace.

[arande2]

Yeah I forgot to add I alternate on my sets and go double overhand up to the work sets.

Yeah I forgot to add I alternate on my sets and go double overhand up to the work sets.

That sounds like something I may try

i always wondered that.

how do you get out of balance? like does your under hand's bicep get bigger or something?

[ae_yogi]

I always switch each set; at this point I do not find a preference for one or the other.

[ScottW]

I'm left handed and I've always pulled left over and right under. But now my left shoulder is more internally rotated than the the right one.
