Question: Do you guys always over under with the same hands. For me its always left as under right as over. Should I be changing it up sometimes, feels weird doing it the other way. Just curious, never thought about it before till I tried to do it the opposite to normal and it sucked.
I'm left under, right over but I change it up when doing lighter weights.
There was a flashlight test to determine shoulder health and how badly internally (medially) rotated they were. Mine were pretty bad at the time. Which reminds me I was doing rotator cuff work 3x weekly, and it did wonders. Been very lazy with this lately, need to get back into it.
If you let your arms dangle down one will naturally supinate more than the other
I just deadlift with straps these days as I need to clean the chalk up after I use it and I can't be bothered doing this all the time so I just train grip separately
This is always what I have done double over hand till it gets heavy then over under with what feels natural.
I read some stupid bodybuilding shit on developing uneven traps from doing over under the same grip all the time sorta just made me wonder whether it would have any effect on your shoulder health or anything. I guess it wouldn't cause you use your dominate hand for almost everything a buttload more than your other hand and that doesn't cause any problems or else the whole world would have fucked shoulders.
100% on the torn bicep thing I can see how it happens before freako pulled me up on form I was jerking off the ground without having my arms taut it was a torn bicep waiting to happen, spose it would be nearly impossible to do with a double over grip.

When I say "comfortable" I mean strongest and most bio-mechanically sound.
0ni is correct with his analogy.
But using the deadlift as an exercise meaning for sets and rep's and as a means to improve strength and flexibility thorough out full range of movement I think then that using a mixed grip is a must.
