Do you prefer a reverse grip a la Dorian Yates or a standard overhand grip and why?

**BritChick** · 03-10-2005, 04:43 PM

Reverse, overhand is uncomfortable to me.

**Seanp156** · 03-10-2005, 04:49 PM

I did use overhand when I was doing them last splits, but I switched to reverse on deadlifts because I tend to lose my grip more easily with overhand, so I may switch to reverse on those and maybe shrugs as well.

Overhand, the others would feel weird.

**Mudge** · 03-11-2005, 12:24 AM

Used both, I do overhand now.

**KarlW** · 03-11-2005, 03:04 AM

could you row with a deadlift (1 over 1 under) grip and reverse the grip between sets?

**j rizz** · 03-11-2005, 07:38 AM

**j rizz** · 03-11-2005, 07:39 AM

Both, as they will each target a different area of the back because of the varied elbow position that each grip provides.

I've heard of it, but it sounds like a recipe for injury to me.

I use straps, if you choose not to thats fine.

I've done both forms of rowing. When doing WS, I would alternate between the two quite frequently. Right now I'm sticking with a pronated grip.

the wider your grip on the bar, the more you hit your back too...

which targets which gp?

**jram** · 03-13-2005, 05:19 AM

I use both grips. Overhand grip targets mostly your upper back. Reverse grip also targets your back but in addition, it also targets the BI's more so than the overhand grip.

Peace

An underhand grip, which keep your arms in, and riding along your torso as you pull the bar, will target more of the lat belly.

An overhand grip, which pulls the elbows out, will target the middle trapezius, rhomboids, and the lats.

the underhand grip allows you to use more bicep.

And this is true too.
