Tell the trainee to "squeeze your hand like you are trying to squeeze the bones of your forearm together" (message to coach). The thumb does not interfere with this position at all. Once the thumb is secured the fingers should wrap arounf the bar. Finger position is less important, as the bar is secured too far back in the hand if the fingers are thought to be the thing that grips and controls the bar.[/INDENT].

This is something that I don't do. When I first started working out I did, but over the years I have changed my style so that my thumb is on the same side as my fingers... Don't know why I have changed over the years, I think maybe because a lot of people do it that way (that I have lifted with)...Anyone else ?
