Mixed grip deadlifts put your bicep at risk of tearing because the supinated hand creates intense tension on that arm. Lifting straps let you use a double overhand grip instead, which is safer for your biceps and prevents the muscle imbalances that come from one-sided loading.
What is the difference between a mixed grip and a clean grip? A mixed grip in powerlifting, traditionally you're going to use probably a mixed grip in powerlifting, but for most general trainers, general athletes, the risk versus reward of a clean grip and a mixed grip— a mixed grip, if you do rotate, you are getting a lot of force in that bicep, and that is where the bicep will tear on it. And it is fairly— when I say common injury, it is a, it is an injury. Guys lifting heavy on their deadlifts, if they rotate, they can snap a bicep on a, on a deadlift. So it's that question, what, what is it for? And if you're doing reps, 9 times out of 10, for most folks, simply putting straps on is a much better option than using the mixed grip. And also, there's going to be less discrepancies in terms of muscle imbalances and this kind of stuff.
