THE MESAGE IS :

BE SURE TO RIP YOUR BICEP TENDON

@shumshum81 if there's any concern about that, just alternate the grip after each rep?

what about u nderhand grips? no no?

[MikeTheDr]

First, that is unlikely reason for the results of the study. Second, when doing the staggered grip I alternate each set. Thus, if I use a under grip with the right hand and an over grip with the left, on the next set I do just the opposite. This will prevent that concern albeit not to serious of an issue. Furthermore, lifting more weight safely will result in more muscle fiber recruitment, more hormonerelease , greater demand on the body overall and thus an overall better result.

Is it possible that the reason the participants in your study were stronger using the staggered grip is that they were powerlifters who trained with the staggered grip? If all else were equal I might think the overhand grip was safer because it would lead to a more symmetric back development. Any thoughts?
