1- its called suicide grip
in the past yr only i saw 2 peps dropping the bar on themselves while using that grip (and i rarely spend more than 6hr a week in gym), also, it does not decrease pressure on the wrist, keeping the bar in "safe" position with this grip will increase that pressure, along with strain on forearm muscles/tendons
2- depends how active is your day out of the gym, imo, but
[quote]would I be better off going flat out lifting hard, eating and resting and then tackle fat later?
have my definitive no (:
...unless we change it to
"going flat out lifting hard, eating and resting and not getting fat(ter) in the process"
