A hook grip is a way of gripping a barbell used in weightlifting to improve grip strength and prevent the hands from slipping. In this grip, the fingers are wrapped around the bar, with the thumb placed underneath the fingers and locked around the bar. This position allows for a more secure hold, especially during heavy lifts like the snatch or clean and jerk. The hook grip is commonly used by weightlifters because it provides greater stability, though it can feel uncomfortable at first as it puts pressure on the thumb.
