I flip the left hand. My right hand is facing me (I’m right handed so my right arm is stronger)
I tried to flip the right hand and my back would get round so it was not good. I’ll give it another shot since it was the first time trying it.
Rip mentioned in SS that the less dominant hand should be supinated (flipped). I do the same. I’m left-handed so I flip my right. I tried doing it the other way and it was… bad, let’s just say.

I’m right handed and I’ve tried both. I figured my right would be stronger but apparently I’m weird , so now my right faces away when I get into the higher weights.

My husband also said that you’re supposed to supinate your hand only when it is necessary.
Like do the deadlifts with normal grip and only once your normal grip is not able to lift the weights, then supinate one hand.
This was fun I have to say. It was kind of scary and really difficult. I have never done ME suitcase deadlifts and it adds an entirely new component to the equation. Having the mental capacity to tighten everything while performing this lift was tough. Even on the lighter lifts, having the weight on the left side pushes my left knee in really effectively. I am glad I warmed up well because this could have been bad.
Row 500m @ 1.59.9
I did this with a single hand handle on it. The problem was that the otehr handle was still on and everytime I would put slack on the chain it would drop the other handle and then when I would pull back it would wack me in the hand. This was quite painful but I toughed it out for 2 min.

Yep. Your husband says what a lot of other experienced people will mention on this thread. Nothing beats a good hook grip. I only use alternated when grip becomes a major problem or on a really, really heavy set
If I can remember correctly these are my totals
Total 252
20# DB thrusters - 26,24,21
Box Jumps - 19,21,18
75# SDHP - 19,18,13
75# Push Press - 18,14,12
Burpees - 12,9,8
started flipping my left hand on the 3rd set. I was psyched to get to 135 b/c I can finally use the 45lbs plates. My gym doesn’t have plates of all weights in the same diameter so with the smaller plates I have to either bend much further down in my DL or it just wears on my grip that much faster if I don’t get to touch it down.
Ran 2 miles after, my legs still hate me from yesterday and the day before and probably the day before. It was nice to stretch it out.

No video of that? Aw c’mon, think about your friends!
I did these with the arms crossed instead of with a normal rack position. It was fine during the squat, but every time I let my shoulders down, there was a pinch in the left shoulder, so I don’t think I’ll be doing that again in the near future.
3 Rounds For Time:
5 One Arm DB Thruster 45 each side (I just did 10 straight on one side)
10 box jump 24”
30 Double Under
Time: 10:11
Double-unders let me down big time. I wonder if I’m holding my arm funny with the shoulder injury or taping the wrist is making me rotate different on that side. To make it more interesting, I broke my rope in the middle of the last set and grabbed a different rope that swung totally different.
warm up:
Row 1k @ 2:25-2:00 pace
foam roll legs
500m jog
CFE warm up (pose drills and sprints +/- 500m)
1k 4:41
2k 4:56
3k 5:00
4k 4:58
5k 4:44
24:20
ran on 1 mile gravel trail-very very windy. Legs are still pretty sore from high rep squats and interval runs on Saturday. Probably could have shaved 0:20 or so from the time if it had been calm and I had fresh legs.
Strength and Recovery WOD
3 rounds with rest between efforts to allow heart rate to drop
10 GHD sit ups
13 pullups
15 push ups
15 kbs @ 1.0 pood
, so now my right faces away when I get into the higher weights.
