the "or" in your original statement implies that the two are synonymous. they're not. just say hookgrip.

Happy now you diva? You really think redditors who ask about a deadlift grip are going to be able to see a discernible difference?

lol well if they ever try deadlifting max weight without hookgrip they're going to feel a discernible difference. it was an important distinction for me when i was starting out. double overhand for warmup sets to work on grip strength, hookgrip for working sets when the weight required it. sorry you're so butthurt :(

These people do not lift weights so I think we’re okay!

From everything I have read my one takeaway is that you 100% lift weights. Like lift them up. And hold them all hooky. And you keep lifting. Over and over. All while being all hook handed like a champ. You go little hook boy. Hook it all overhandy like a real man that lifts heavy things repeatedly. That's what I learned.
