Yea I knew it was fake too when I heard this. Ai is dangerous because it seems so real for sure. I know rip would never recommend weight loss. It's not needed. Just keep gaining forever as long as u get stronger 💪
If you aren't competing in powerlifting or have any plans to, who gives a crap how much you can mixed grip or hook grip with? Just use straps. If your sport requires grip strength you can do more specific grip strength training (arm wrestling, grappling, etc.) If your grip is limiting your deadlift strength then fuck your grip, strap up.
To Rips thoughts on alternating between haltings and rack pulls. I've done this in the past, and it really does work. My issue is that when I went back to pulling from the floor it took a few sessions to get back in the groove. Would it be worthwhile doing say a single on the desdlift at around 80% of the weight I use for rack pulls to open either session?
Truth. Hook grip also doesn't really train your grip that much. The whole point is that the weight on the bar tightens your fingers for you, which is why you almost never see somebody fail grip on a hook grip. Hook grip guys always use straps for a reason...
I’ve heard Nick say when his clients start failing normal deadlift sets of fahve, instead of going to triples, he’ll have them go to the lowest pin and continue increasing the weight with sets of fahve. You can do it however you want, midshin is a good spot, something below the knee.
