Man, that happened to a friend of mine.
He was using an open grip as well and it rolled out of his grip and landed on his chest.
He was out of the gym a long time.

I bet that did some damage to that dude.

open grip is where you dont put your thumb round the bar,you sort of rest it on your palms!
which can leed to it rolling of your hands.

Oh i see. Makes sense.

Why would anyone want to use an open grip? Does it offer anything training wise or just a preference thing?

DRED · 27-08-2006, 04:21 PM

i feel safer with a closed grip,must just be a personel thing mate.

Usually an open grip hits lower chest and triceps a bit more.
Think of it as an exagerated dip.
