Candice that’s the most common grip when deadlifting large amounts of weight.

CrimShuffle: Bodybuilding and body modification have an insane amount in common. The focus and desire to modify your body through bodybuilding to attain a different physique/appearance than you began with is an amazing journey. The same can be said for body modification. As someone who spends a lot of time in the gym, I can say I am more proud of my achievements in the gym than I am of those I’ve attained through body modification (although both hold the same meaning to me) because those achieved in the gym have taken a lot more time, effort, and personal motivation.
