Mixed grip? Not even once.

Hook grip if you don't like it.

I want to use the excuse that being a manlet, my hands are small and I can't hook grip properly, but there are tiny Oly lifter girls using it, so I must just need to improve my thumb flexibility or something - I can barely trap it with my first two fingers atm and it always pops out quickly.

They have 25mm bars, so that might help them.

However, I can only hook grip with the first and second fingers (bear in mind, I've been referred to as MrDYELx, so take this with as big a bucket of salt as you deem fit.

I was happy mixed grip deadlifting my heavy sets, but of course I had to watch KStarr banging on about how you can create more torque w/a hook grip and that it's more transferable since snatch/C&J + and other pulling movements use it. Best practice I guess.
