And want to either lose the use of your thumb in 5 years or develop arthritis in it.

Can you elaborate on this aspect. haven't heard this yet?

I've known guys get injured thumb tendons from using hook grip. You are placing hundreds of kilo's of load across your thumb at an angle.

So from that you gather you will LOSE your thumbs in 5 years? That's fucking rich. Call the IWF and tell them their hundred of thousand of registered lifters are about to lose their thumbs because you allegedly know a guy that has got an injured thumb.

You're retarded.
"at an angle". Cringe attempt at making it seem you know what you're talking about.

I don't know, honestly I've never heard of this, maybe I just didn't know.

Because it's not true.

I tried to find information on this topic, but did not find it.

Getting up there in weight deadlifting, i go overhand but couldnt hold on. So i took a video of my form of alternate grip, and my underhand is bent, which is how you tear bicep from not being straight with that hand.

Who uses wraps? Anyone have any reccommendations? Of a brand?

Honestly a good golds gym pair from Walmart always held up for me. Larry wheels brand PR Apparel is nice too and comes in a cool bundle with some other stuff to try out as well.

I was pleasantly surprised by the clothes from Larry Wheels. Pleased with the quality and design.

I ordered an outfit a while back, and some scumbag at my apartment complex copped the package. Their fate was not pretty.

On that note the easily adjustable lever belts really helped take my core stabilizing to the next level, zero comparison with a cheap harbinger or even a nice Cardillo, the belt is just superb quality. Wraps are fucking amazing too and a nice stiff Velcro so you don’t have to fuck around with wrapping it under. The elbow wraps are good for ego lifting days too or if you have elbow problems I imagine they would come in handy.

I don’t like Velcro belt, I prefer with a carabiner, somehow more reliable in my opinion/

Yeah Velcro belts are practically useless. Larry has a nice lever belt on his website. When I was talking Velcro I meant the knee wraps. Super sturdy and convenient.

ahhh, now I understand, otherwise the belt with Velcro is right, rare crap
