Why the fuck are you using suicide in the first place?
>>37828116
You would be dead right now if that was 225, fucking, dead. Think about that for a second.
>>37828116
Yer a dumbass, Harry
it's called a suicide grip and people still argue about using it
>>37828116
Nobody asking why the bar hit his head when it slipped below his arms not above?
>>37828116
1. don't use suicide grip
2. bench in a cage if you don't have a spotter/ are a moron
>>37828116
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.
>>37828234
can you do ohp with suicide grip? maybe he was doing that
>>37828234
>>37828181
>>37828158
Working tris. not benching
>>37828269
don't tell me you were doing SUICIDE grip SKULLCRUSHERS
it's like you actually want to die
>>37828268
quite a lot of people recommend thumbless grip for ohp, I don't get it
>>37828269
... 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.

Just buy a fucking rope, it's way easier that way.

Do... Do you need someone to talk to OP?

Im not understanding, what does a Tbar on the cable machine do for triceps?
>>37828287
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
>>37828573
It's more of a comfort thing.
>>37828116
>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
>>37828573
Even IF it actually did let you lift more weight, wouldn't it be like catbacking a deadlift but even MORE dangerous?
>>37828573
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?
>>37828706
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.
>>37828856
You are a special kind of retarded aren't you?
>>37828892
Nope. How's it feel to be retarded yourself?
>doing skullcrushers
>actually crushing your skull during the lift
Good job OP

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.
>>37828981
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?
>>37829007
Fair enough.

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.
>>37828981
>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
>>37829218
Different strokes for different folks. I need to make a conscious effort to hold to bar with a standard grip.
>>37829197
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.
>>37829290
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.
>>37829376
Same same that's a fucking skullcrusher except you're standing up not lying down.
>>37829425
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.
>>37828269
you literally did skull crushers

OP looks pretty comfortable.
>>37829011
You grip the barbell with your thumb being on the same side as your other fingers
