Deep Palm Grip on Pulling Exercises

On pull-ups, curls, chin-ups, and other pulling lifts, place the bar or dumbbell deep in the meat of the palm with the knuckles over the implement rather than letting it roll toward the fingertips. This grip position helps reduce medial elbow stress and can make pulling work more comfortable for the forearm and elbow.

And you said, and I listened fortunately on pull-ups to not let the bar be at my fingertips to try and get my knuckles over the bar.
