As a weightlifter, it's pretty standard practice for my sport to use the hook grip for barbell pulls (cleans, snatches, clean pulls, snatch pulls, clean deadlifts, snatch deadlifts).
Many of the above barbell moves are ballistic, and I've found myself much more comfortable using a barbell-type hook grip for kettlebells swings (not really applicable to TGUs, where I use a crush grip) than a standard pronated grip.
Does anybody else do this?
