  In order to prevent the bar from rolling out of the hands while deadlifting, some lifters have been known to use an Olympic lifting technique known as the “hook” grip. This is similar to an overhand grip, but the thumbs are inside, allowing the lifter to “hook” onto them with the fingers. The hook grip can make it easier to hold heavier weights using less grip strength, and keeps both shoulders and elbows in a symmetrical position. — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlift
