I used a clean grip for the IWT on 385 and 400 then switched to an over/underhand grip for the 415 and 430. I flipped back to the CG for the 440 and lost my grip after the 3rd rep. I regripped and then was only able to pull it legit once. The 5th rep I just could not lock it out. I got it up to about mid thigh, but could not roll my hips through. I even tried it again after the burpees and got the same result. I was was done...I did pull 405 once when I was stripping down and it felt good.
