Nah. It hardly hurts at all now and I've got quite a bit of callous build up on my thumbs. But honestly I can't ever see me going higher than 150kg on deads naturally so I doubt I can do much damage and frankly I'd rather duff up my thumbs than tear a bicep. If it really becomes an issue I'll switch back to double overhand.
If your only problem at present is a broken thumb use straps.

Never look back with regrets and think "what if" for that way madness lies. There are those that will envy you and try and undermine you. They are not worth your time.

Cool, I'll give it a whirl at some point then- can't be much worse for your hands than climbing eh!

BINGO! That's actually one of the reasons I started doing hook grip so I wouldn't cry like a wuss everytime I went crack climbing. And for the dirty minded amongst you this means when one goes climbing a rock face that has a long crack in it that you jam your hands, arms and feet in. Not anything else!

I tried hook grip, once i got to 180kg though the pain was just too much for my thumbs unfortunately.
