>advising people to be careful when it's LITERALLY called suicide grip

>using suicide grip in the first place
>it's literally called suicide
You fucking retard!

Why the fuck are you using suicide for lmao1pl8

Why the fuck are you using suicide in the first place?

You would be dead right now if that was 225, fucking, dead. Think about that for a second.

Yer a dumbass, Harry

it's called a suicide grip and people still argue about using it

Nobody asking why the bar hit his head when it slipped below his arms not above?

1. don't use suicide grip
2. bench in a cage if you don't have a spotter/ are a moron

dyel detected
I use suicide grip and it's totally safe if you have always a spoter.
I bench 110kg tho, so not a pro bench presser.

can you do ohp with suicide grip? maybe he was doing that

Working tris. not benching

don't tell me you were doing SUICIDE grip SKULLCRUSHERS

it's like you actually want to die

quite a lot of people recommend thumbless grip for ohp, I don't get it

... you used suicide grip for skullcrushers?
Please keep doing them, maybe they'll work next time and we won't have to worry about you contaminating the gene pool.

>Yielding doing the press, a honorable death

>suicide grip

You were asking for it faggot.

>youre a dyel harry

Tbar on the cable machine actually.

>suicide grip
>skull crushers
Just buy a fucking rope, it's way easier that way.

>skullcrusher with suicide grip
Do... Do you need someone to talk to OP?
suicidepreventionlifeline.org

Im not understanding, what does a Tbar on the cable machine do for triceps?

Holy shit, put those two together and you're right; it spells "kill me now pls"

why the FUCK do people do suicide grip ?

>implying their is any change in focus to the muscle, weight distribution, ease of lift, because you hooked your thumbs back rather than round the bar

people that use it deserve to die desu for being such idiots

It's more of a comfort thing.

>using suicide grip on literally anything besides OHP

serves you right faggot I bet you had your feet up on the bench too didn't you

Even IF it actually did let you lift more weight, wouldn't it be like catbacking a deadlift but even MORE dangerous?

I don't get it. I mean, I'm a dyel, so maybe I just don't know about it, but isn't it an important part of almost any exercise, definitely bench at least, to have straight wrists? Suicide grip makes it impossible, and additionaly it can potentially make you an hero, what's the point?

put your hands against a wall and push as hard as you can. Can you push harder with your thumb up, similar to a suicide grip? Or, can you push harder with your thumb pointing down, putting tons of pressure on your thumb?

That's my justification for using suicide grip. Much more comfortable and takes strain off of my thumb/wrist. I can push much harder without my wrist/thumb being a limiting factor.

You are a special kind of retarded aren't you?

Nope. How's it feel to be retarded yourself?

>doing skullcrushers
>actually crushing your skull during the lift

Good job OP

T O P K E K

Suicide grip allows you to focus effort more through the line of your wrist/forearm, and maintain decent form for most PRESSING EXERCISES.

But skullcrushers are not a strict pushing exercise, they're an extension exercise, which requires flexing and focusing on tensing the muscles as well as squeezing at certain points of the rep.

Are you gonna get a better squeeze with a thumbless grip, or a thumbed grip?

Also, you're lowering a fucking bar over your goddamn skull, you idiot, why would you use a SUICIDE grip? Even most powerlifters won't use suicide grip when using heavier weights.

I was replying to the guy lambasting the suicide grip in general. Of course it's not suitable for every lift.

What is suicide grip? Someone show me?

Fair enough.

>straight wrists in bench
No, user...

Literally first 4 links from google search. Are you saying they're all wrong? And I guess it does make sense, since only with straight wrists are you able to get a strong grip on the bar.

>Suicide grip allows you to focus effort more through the line of your wrist/forearm
I would need to make a conscious effort just to hold the bar in suicide grip. Even worse when there's 2 pl8 on the bar.
Also, I'm scared shitless of things like OP.

Thanks OP for showing the masses why you don't suicide grip

Different strokes for different folks. I need to make a conscious effort to hold to bar with a standard grip.

No, I just don't agree with their terminology.
You should have the bar in line with your forearm, this requires your to bend back SLIGHTLY.
Not all the way, but if you keep them straight - as in, the back of your hand forms a straight line with your forarm - the bar will be supported by your thumbs, not your wrist column.

Well yeah, that's what I had in mind.

For everyone talking about skull crushers I was doing over head tricep extension on the cable machine. Just using the straight bar instead of the rope.

Same same that's a fucking skullcrusher except you're standing up not lying down.

except the bar rolled off his fingertips and didn't slip off his palms like everyone here thinks. He's trying to say it would have happened with either grip.

you literally did skull crushers
>FAGGOT

>skull's not even crushed
LIGHTWEIGHT BABAY

fucking kek

That's a lie.

>suicide-grip skull crushers

the fact that you're not dead proves you're weak

finish the job user

OP looks pretty comfortable.

You grip the barbell with your thumb being on the same side as your other fingers

>skullcrushers
>actually do it

tip top lel

Except that guy isn't using a suicide grip.

>skull crushers done correctly true to their name

undergoddamnrated

gets a headscar doing possibly fatal isolation exercises
>the bro who lived

What exactly is the benefit of suicide grip?

took me a second but fuck i lost my shit

underratedm actualy deserves a threadshot
