As for a thumbless grip, I agree about it being a dangerous grip...but whenever I do close grip presses at 315, I've never had a problem and the grip just feels a lot more comfortable to me. I do try to keep the bottom of my palm elevated as much as possible though, plus I use Versa Gripps.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna post some more funny stuff seen in the gym...
You mean having your thumb wraped around the bar? And why is it a dangerous grip?
Because the bar can slip and fall onto your sternum.
I dont wrap my thumb around Its actually alot more uncomfortable on my wrists and doesnt feel as stable. I just keep my palms up and a death grip on the 4 fingers going over, lol.

i was warming up chest one day working out with Mr Evil.. and my dumb ass didnt chalk up.. was doing 315 under thumb grip and it slid out of my left hand.. Lucky enough i was able to slow part of the weight down with my other hand.. it landed hard on my chest... everyone kinda just stopped in a dumb found silence... so i grabbed the weight.. got REAL mad and finished my set
as for Mr Bench off the gut.. FUCK!! why didnt i think of that!! i bet i could do 6 wheels bouncing it off my belly!!!

No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
There is a douchebag kid in Mckinney that works out at LA Fitness in the afternoons that reminds me of the raver. This little bastard walks around singing and dancing and carrying on - doesn't matter where, inconsiderate little fuck will go into the sauna and start singing as well.

Some people just want to watch the world dance.
