I was reading about grips on page 167 of the book and then just today read an article that mentioned a hook grip.I reviewed the book but did not see anything on this.Can you please help… thanks a lot.
Robert, good evening I hope you are well and having a great night. With regard to your question, consider the following. A hook grip is done by gripping the bar with the thumb first and then the remaining fingers grips both the thumb and the barbell. Whereas a pinch grip is a handhold in which the fingers and thumb work in opposition to pinch a hold.
