Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 I'm intrigued as to why is it considered necessary to alternate your grip (i.e. one pronated. one supinated) I must admit that I'd always performed my deadlifts like this until about two months ago, when I tore a muscle in my pronated grip forearm when deadlifting using alternatives grips. I am now trying to deadlift with a 'both hands' supinated grip and I'm finding it a lot harder. Is this because I'm just not used to it, or does the alternative method enable you to lift considerably more. I should add that at the moment, I get no forearm pain if I lift like this. However if I try to revert to alternative grips, I experience problems. Are there any complimentary exercises I could perform to increase my lifts this way.
