Here are the two big meanings people use, and how to guarantee it.
1) Lifting: “No slippage” on the bar (hands/straps/feet)
You’re saying: the bar doesn’t roll, hands don’t creep, feet don’t slide — power transfers 1:1.
Zero-slippage checklist
- Chalk first (hands + knurl). If you’re sweaty, wipe → chalk → grip.
- Grip setup: hook grip or hard mixed grip; crush the bar before you pull.
- Straps: wrap tight, set the bar high in the palm crease, then “pre-load” straps by twisting the bar into them.
- Bar path: keep it dragging the legs (close bar = no roll forward = no slip).
- Shoes/floor: flat sole + clean floor. If platform is dusty, wipe it.
- “Take the slack out”: pull until you hear/feel the system lock—THEN explode.
Cue: “Weld your hands to the steel. Nail your feet to the earth.”
2) Trading/Bitcoin: “No slippage” on orders
You’re saying: you get filled at (or extremely close to) your intended price, not worse.
No-slippage (or minimal-slippage) execution
- Use limit orders, not market orders.
- Trade during high liquidity times; avoid thin books.
- Split big buys into smaller tranches.
- Watch spread + depth (wide spread = slippage trap).
- If you must use market: set a max acceptable price impact via settings (where available).
Cue: “Price is the barbell. Control the rep.”
If you tell me which one you mean—bar grip or order fills—I’ll tailor it to your exact setup and make it bulletproof.
