Why hook grip is better? Weightlifting performance with Dustin Oranchuk

🏋️‍♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hook-grip-in-103325375 🏋️‍♀️Elite weightlifters use the hook grip. You may be surprised, however, that there is not a lot of research to justify this type of gripping. In this interview, Dustin Oranchuk walks us through his study investigating differences in the performance of the clean with and without the hook grip.Dustin has a PhD in sports science and works as a full-time researcher at the University of Colorado. His research focuses on muscle physiology and mechanics, healthy aging, rehabilitation, neuromuscular fatigue, strength and conditioning, and optimizing research methodologies. The two papers we discuss in this interview come from his time at the Auckland University of Technology.Enjoy!Evidence Strong summary:https://evidencestrong.com/hook-grip-is-better-but-whyOriginal research papers:Oranchuk DJ, Drinkwater EJ, Lindsay RS, Helms ER, Harbour ET, Storey AG.
