Do you mind if I ask what you did which restricts your ability to mixed grip? In terms of loading, I would expect your back to be loaded in a similar manner irrespective of the hand position.
I assume you've considered/use hook grip?
- xarope 6mo agosomehow mixed grip makes me twist slightly which caused me back problems; after a few tweaks to the lower back, I decided that mixed wasn't worth it (I don't compete anymore). Yes, you are right, I do use the hook grip, since I also do some weightlifting.
- SoftTalker 6mo agoNot who you asked but I use overhand hook grip and do conventional deadlifts (not sumo). I find mixed grip bothers my bicep on the underhand side. I also use chalk, and straps for heavy pulls. I don't understand a gym that doesn't allow chalk.
