Why u no mixed grip?

JWestland-
TGR's article says "At a certain point–about 1.5 times bodyweight, for most–your fingers are going to start giving out, causing the bar to roll out of your hands, and when that happens, force production comes to a screeching halt and you get stuck."
I'm already doing >1.5xBW with a normal (shitty) grip so I think my grip strength is pretty good (the irony being a hospital visit for knuckle arthritis that I think was actually inflammation caused by anticoag). I didn't want to try mixed grip because I don't like the asymmetry. I'm going to adjust my grip if I do some next week - first moving bar towards my fingers and then trying the hook grip. No trainer though so probably won't be lifting as heavy. Because I don't want to be the cock that drops the bar trying too much weight.
hippy
First thing will be trying to shuffle the bar (ooh nurse) about 1cm further along my hand. If that fails then I'll try the hook grip and then if that fails I will kick a kettlebell and go ride my bike (okay, maybe try straps).
