Suicide grip is used in exercises like the bench press when the bar is held lower in the palm with straght wrists and the thumb on the same side of the fingers. It is done to prevent wrists from dropping back with the conventional grip when heavy weights are used. Suicide grip does reduce power but is used by many professionals.
