I was simply blown away by this video. Not only does he use a double overhand hook grip but his form is about as perfect as I have ever seen for a max.
That was great. I wish there was a video of Steve Goggins’ 881 overhand attempt. I believe he did that in the same meet that he broke 1100 in the squat. I’ve never seen it on video but I imagine this comes pretty close.
Nice. There was a video I saw once with him and I think his brother going head to head deadlifting. Impressive as well.

It would of been hook grip.
Mass monsters!
I know his brother wade has some of the strongest hands in the world, so that would explain his use of overhand.

And his OTHER brother Karl, pro strongman…
They’re one freaky family.
Just so everyone knows, if you use a hook grip, your ROM is shortened ever-so-slightly. Mark with chalk on your thigh where the bar is when you hold it with a mixed grip and when you hold it with a hook grip: the bar hangs lower with the hook grip.
So, if you’ve got a freaky strong grip and you want some help off the floor, taking your shoes off and using a hook grip will both help you out.
Check out one of the loaders in the Billingham vid explain to another one what a hook grip is lol!

First - big lift and very impressive.
Second - I am not trying to be critical, but the way he jerks on the bar - isn’t that an easy way to hurt yourself? I always thought locking out your elbows before pulling was crucial to avoiding injury. I am not saying I could pull that weight - just wondering what everyone else thinks.
