Like @Gigan@lemmy.world does, I alternate every other set more or less, but for the heaviest lifts I do my dominant hand over. I know a lot of people use hook grip but as a competitive powerlifter, I've also seen a lot of people struggle with it. To the point that hook grip often causes more problems than it fixes, because for most people I don't see any reason to switch away from mixed grip as long as it's comfortable.
Appreciate the insight
Hook grip feels pretty weird; perfectly fine lifting mixed on heavy sets, just glad to find out I could switch my grip around if I wanted. Gonna make a habit of it.
