Biceps tears basically come about when there's too much weight and force applied. Mixed grip on heavy deadlift for example is risky as it puts undue pressure on the bicep of the underhand arm.

This is why there is a big push for the dual overhand grip. I still lift conventional. I know I am not going for a world record. Just more plates than they guy next to me.

I agree! In addition, the natural/conventional grip seems to be the way to go, if you wish to maintain symmetry and balance vs strictly lifting.

I alternate my grip until I reach the higher weights at which time I seek comfort in the familiar.
