any thoughts? what do you guys use??

clarify?
hook grip is what oly lifters use (thumb inside, palm toward you) you grip the bar and wrap your thumb inside to help with grip. I think you mean mixed grip (one over one under)
i do mixed grip because in a normal grip the bar tends to want to "roll" out of your hands.
i can barely hold 400 reg grip but with mixed grip i've held 600+lbs
