Supinated vs. Pronated & Hooked vs. Mixed

[anthrax]

As you said chin-ups allow more weight/reps than pull-ups but if my main concern is to work the back I'll use a pronated grip

As for DL I no longer use a mixed grip which put a lot of stress on my shoulders

Hook grip is okay with a clean stance but if I do a snatch stance I prefer a regular grip

I may start considering using some straps though...

Double underhand? You mean double overhand, right?

yeah, that's what i meant, sorry.

double underhand is flirting with the biceps tendon's wife

Somebody mentioned a clean grip? What kind of grip is that?

DL's with a mixed grip, I notice an obvious difference in my trap development.
To compensate I started using a overhand grip for both hands and after a little practice, I can pull the same weight with that as I can mixed..
