I know ive probably asked a few questions today :-) living on this forum at the moment.....

 

So i saw a vid on how to execute a Romanian Deadlift (i usually do this every couple of weeks just to ensure my form is correct and pay more attention to the finer details) when i started a few months ago. I usually have an overhand grip and do the exercise.

 

I saw a video last week by SH and he has one overhand grip and one underhand grip (cant find that video just yet) so is there a reason why this type of grip should be used instead of both hands having the overhand grip?

 

Thanks

Typically you can grip the bar easier with an overhand AND underhand (switch) grip @EssCee.

If you want to really test out your forearm strength, just use an overhand grip. If you want to see how much weight you can lift overall, you're better off using a switch grip :)
