--Hook grip differs from the typical overhand, pronated hand position one commonly uses on barbell lifts like deadlift, cleans, or any pulling variation. While using a "normal" grip, the fingers wrap around the barbell first, with the thumb resting predominately on top of the index finger and middle finger. Hook grip alters the fingers first order by initiating barbell contact with the thumb, following up with a fingers around thumb and barbell finish.
