- Why do we assume that the small muscles responsible for grip should scale at the same exact rate as the larger muscles of our posterior chain?? It really makes no sense!
Straps can solve this problem, but what if we don't have straps available? Hook grip can be that answer - allowing friction to increase how effective this particular technique is.
"But it hurts!"
Yes, but your thumbs will adapt rapidly. Take it easy at first, and give yourself 4-6 sessions to inch your way back to previous working weights. In that amount of time you should be able to handle what you were pulling without hook grip, and maybe even more!

it hurt so bad
It really does 😅 but you'll adapt if you stick with it for a time!
If you have less than 50 plates on each side of the bar then you have no excuse to drop the bar. Dropping the weight literally kills the eccentric part, that's why you see guys who look tough but then turn to reveal the flattest booty you've ever seen. SLOW THE ECCENTRIC
This isn't really the scope of this post, and there are plenty of reasons why people may or may not want to slow the eccentric. Not really worth this energy imo but you do you 🤷♂️
