 Next question is from Harry, the K32. What is your opinion on false grip versus standard grip while overhead pressing or barbell benching? I feel as though I have more strength using a false grip. Yeah, so the false grip is when your thumb is not around the bar, right? It's on the same side as your fingers, what do they call it, monkey grip or whatever? Monkey grip is what I call it, yeah. Okay, and it is true that if you, especially if you practice that way, you're gonna feel more stable while you're pressing, so you might wanna ask yourself why? Why do I feel more stable? It's because the placement of the bar on your palm actually shortens the lever a little bit. If you take a full grip, the bar tends to be a little bit further, just a little bit further away from the wrist. It feels like a longer lever, so it feels a little bit less stable. So I can see why people like to press this weight. You're also resting on the joint and not having to stabilize the forearms. Yeah, now here's the problem with that. It's way more dangerous. I've seen too many people drop a bar on their bodies that way, and you're also strengthening a strange recruitment pattern by holding the bar that way. That's my biggest problem with it, because now I go to use that grip in everyday life and pick things out, like you're using your thumb for all those things. Why wouldn't I train and reinforce that same grip with what I'm doing in the gym? This is useless to me outside the gym. Yeah, absolutely, I believe the same way. So I used to press that weight for a long time because I see pictures of bodybuilders doing it. And occasionally I'll even do it now just for fun, but I retrain myself to feel stable and comfortable with the full grip because it's more functional, more stable. And like Justin said, your thumb is a very, very important part of your grip, and so you wanna strengthen that as well. If you wanna have strong hands, strong wrists, if you look at your thumb, there's that meaty part of your palm, that's a muscle. You wanna get that strong. That's important to keep strong. It helps stabilize your wrist, of course gives you a better grip and can prevent things like carpal tunnel and stuff like that. False grips change also a little bit. It's a splitting hairs, but it's interesting. False grips also change the recruitment patterns up in the shoulder they found. Just like wearing wrist straps, you start to change that recruitment pattern. Now, why is that important? Again, like Justin said, in everyday life, you're not gonna use a false grip as much as you're gonna use a full grip. So it's better off training with a full grip. So I would say it's splitting hairs. I do both. It just kind of depends on the mood. I think I tend to default to the false grip when I'm really trying to move some big weight because it does feel more stable and easy for me, but I also still, I mean, we were doing a heavy bench today and I had a full grip. So I go back and forth between the two of them. It's, I think it's kind of a splitting the hair thing. Like if you feel comfortable doing it, you don't have any shoulder issues, it doesn't bother you anything, making a big deal about that and saying that you're gonna hurt yourself or it's bad. There's a lot of other things that I'm probably gonna pick apart in your routine before I pick apart your false grip. Did you ever seen someone lose a bar in a bench press because of a fault grip, a false grip? Yeah, and you also gotta keep it in consideration too that the false grip is gonna help a lot of people that don't have quite the thoracic mobility or the scapula mobility and the ability to pull their shoulder blades back. So like when you do like an overhead press, in order for you to keep your wrist in a neutral position, you have to really be able to get that bar back. Definitely. And so the ability to kind of break the wrist and get the elbows underneath is, you know, it's cheating a little bit. And you see that even my wrist or I have a false grip when I squat. When I squat, I've got an open or false grip when I squat because I don't have the wrist and shoulder mobility like I'd like to be able to get back there. So yeah, it's an area that I can improve and would be better. And I agree with both of you, but it's definitely not at the top of the pyramid for me of things that I'm gonna pick apart on somebody as a routine.
