Congrats.. you and me both. Switched to hook grip only a few weeks ago.. didn't even know it was called hook grip with the thumb underneath, but that's what happens when you use overhand grip, find the bb rolling and then desperately try to find something to prevent it from happening w/o ditching that grip., presto: hook grip!
Got to 13 reps yesterday for a wt I had formerly only done 8 reps for.. that is 12 hook & 1 mixed. The weird part: mixed grip didn't even make it feel all that much easier than hook grip.
How do you feel about using straps? People keep telling me I'm short-changing myself in not using straps, but there's not enough patience in me to try yet a 4th different strap.
