Is it important to switch hands for the over-under hook grip between sets?

Good Video btw...

[Valtiel1605]

Yes, it's good to switch your hands. Some people switch them back and forth after every rep when you put the weight down. If you always use the same grip you can develop muscle imbalances.

should you be pulling your traps backwards when doing that excersise? i mean like shoulders backwards

[Valtiel1605]

Yes, you should slightly shrug your shoulders/traps back at the top of the lift and hold that position for a second before lowering the weight.

[PiratesWonderful]

That's not hook grip. Otherwise good video!

@melodametal It's not just for lower back. It's for your whole body.

omg my body hurts after dead lifts

[melodametal]

i dont get it. if u are trying to work ur lower back why would u bend your knees?

[Ottesen23]

Hook grip ? Thats a mixed grip... But nice to see someone that understands that you are doing a deadlift and not a squat :)

[zoopyjoobles]

@Eningmea62 This is true. And you should only use the hook and optional grip if your grip is not strong enough to handle the weight you are deadlifting.
