I started reading a few months ago about how to increase my grip strength and I came across some articles about the "mixed grip". Everything I read said that I was doing it wrong. I have always had my non-dominant hand facing away from me and my dominant hand facing towards me, and I used the mixed grip for every rep no matter the weight.
Now, I've been using the normal grip, with 8 fingers on one side of the bar and two thumbs on the other, up to 315lbs. Once I go above 315lbs, I change to the mixed grip with my dominant hand facing away from me. It felt awkward at first because I was so used to "my" way, but I can tell a difference in my grip strength.
Just curious on what some of the other PL'ers use on here?
