In Response To: hooking *LINK* (Christian Mendoza)

Let's not go overboard on the "Horrors of Hooking". It is uncomfortable to learn but before long, you don't notice it. Taping the thumbs allows lifters to have a better grip when they hook. There are also ways to tape that create a bit of a ridge at about mid-thumb that allow an even better gripping.
