I tried hook grip today - cool! Other than having the skin on inside of
my thumb slightly tenderized, it felt good. Pulled a few singles and
doubles at 80% this way.
Other than "ease into using it", anyone got any advice about this in
terms of how often you train with it? My grip has never been my weak
point yet and I'm wondering if I ought to use it only enough to get used
to it but otherwise keep training 'normal' overhand because that will
work my grip more. Maybe I just ought to get that thick bar I've been
thinking about

$65 shipped, can't beat that
where I can't hook grip, use that sometimes, and hook grip my regular
bar the rest of the time. Aah, decisions, decisions, decisions.
Anyway, hook grip seems pretty cool so far - hook grip war stories and
words of advice solicited.
