Deadlift: what grip do you use?

[strongsmartsexy]

Nah....kinda new to the PL game...that's why my DL is so bad...just started doing them recently....

I'm 36 y/o so my best years might be behind me...we'll see....

I bench 315, squat 405 for reps and DL 415. I'm 47 and I'm still gaining strength. I don't believe that these numbers would do more than get me laughed out of a PL meet.

Mixed grip - strong arm palm out (my right)

This feels totally unnatural to me. I put my strong arm palm in.

Very respectable numbers for the masters division sir, you should do a meet for fun. I certainly dont go in thinking I'm going to break any records but my own. It is fun to test yourself and meet day is a BLAST!

exactly my experience...I'm new to the sport and will be competing in my first meet on April 24th. My numbers aren't impressive to say the least but I'm going to give it a shot. It's the experience that I'm looking forward to...and hopefully setting some PR's too!

I use a mixed grip also. I used an overhand grip for a long time until someone got me to try the mixed grip. It took a while to get use to, but now it is second nature to me.
