You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.

Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?

A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I’ve never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).

I’ve recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?

    I’ve never switched in over ten years of lifting and have not encountered any obvious problem from this. I figured that if I compete with mixed grip, I’m better served with getting more practice pulling the same way each time.
