when i first started out doing deadlifts i used the alternate grip, but then i tried the overhand grip and found that the alternate grip felt weird. so i've been sticking to the overhand grip for quite a bit now, but maybe i'll give the alternate grip a try again on the heavier lifts. i can always go back to using my straps lol
