How to choose the grip when pulling hard?

Hard pull is a kind of weight-bearing training, which is mainly divided into hard pull and hard leg hard pull. There are also some variants such as Romanian hard pull and sumo hard pull. Dead lifting is mainly used to exercise the lower back, that is, erector spinae, and straight leg hard pulling is mainly used to exercise the biceps femoris, but it also involves the hip muscles and erector spinae.

Description of the hard grip method of bending legs: In the past, many bodybuilders used the grip method of front and back, and now they tend to hold the barbell forward with both hands, because holding the barbell forward can better control the barbell and make the body stable, while holding it forward will lead to the barbell rotating and the trunk twisting, which is easy to cause waist injury.

Description of straight leg hard grip: In the past, many bodybuilders used the straight-and-reverse grip method, but now they tend to hold the barbell with both hands, because the straight grip method can better control the barbell and make the body stable, while the straight-and-reverse grip method will cause the barbell to rotate and the trunk to twist, which is easy to cause waist injury.
