Holding a deadlift involves gripping the bar correctly to maintain control throughout the lift. The reference provided discusses different grip techniques that can be employed. The grip should allow you to maintain control and prevent the bar from slipping.
The gripping method described in the reference, involves firmly securing the bar against the knurling. Here's a breakdown of how to achieve a solid grip:
- Mash Against the Knurling: Ensure the bar is pressed firmly against the knurling (the textured part of the bar).
- Thumb Wrap: Wrap your thumb around the bar.
- Finger Wrap: Wrap your fingers around your thumb, securing the grip.
- Grip Width: Maintain a consistent grip width, similar to your other grips.
This ensures that the bar is securely held and that you're able to complete the lift effectively.
