hi just wondering when practicing the iron cross what is the right grip to use false grip or no false grip? Thank u

false grip.

It can be done with either, but usually in competition it's done with false grip a) because it's easier to hold (slightly shorter lever) and extends to b) easier to transition in and out of the hold.
