Mixed Grip Deadlifts are Fucking Stupid

Warning: strong language.

Also warning: rant.

A mixed grip deadlift or an alternate grip deadlift is when you hold onto the barbell with one hand in a supinated/underhand position (palm facing out) and the other in an overhand position (back of the hand facing out).

It can make deadlifting feel lighter or more manageable on the hands by sandwiching the bar between the opposing fists with an alternate grip.
