love your site and all the info. Trying to get the grip right. So the bar is lowest in heel of hand and then pinch down with the fingers? Correct? How bout the thumbs role?? Thank you.
I think you missed a small detail in your question - which lift?
I’m not clear on your question so here are a few resources:
Alan Thrall’s video on gripping for press and bench:
Jordan’s 2 min video on Bulldog grip (which you seem to be discussing)
Jordan’s highly technical article on bench and press grip published on the Starting Strength website. I thought this one used the term bulldog but it doesn’t.
