Just looking out for you :hug:

if you are using straps, you should def use over over(especiallly at heavy weights) you can strain one of your lats or tear your biceps w/ the over under especially at heavy weights. i have long arms too.

i just started tryin to go strapless and beltless to strengthen my grip/forearms recently using over/under and am using more than 4 plates, but i don't think im brave enough to do that w/ weights near my max because everything can be good for months and hundreds of reps and one day you tear that bicep and its FML

some ppl never would tear their bicep but i don't wanna find out which side of the coin im on personally :ld:

I don't have big biceps so I can't imagine tearing them.

I've never used straps or a belt yet, used gloves early on but I dropped that

Currently @ 315 max DL over/over at 151 lbs I'll take it :obama:

Double over is not hot in the streets playboy

Over/over is actually conventional :mjpls: refer some Olympic vids

Alternating or pronated is for people with grip deficiencies

IMO over/over with hook grip >>>>
