I deadlifted 440x4 today, wanted 5 but failed because I pull sumo and dragging my hands up my legs near lockout pries my grip open, guess its time to start doing grip work

I’m close to giving up on hook grip and just going straps for all my max DLs

I use straps when I do a max effort set with a lot more than 5 reps but below that I like to be able to know I can actually pick up the bar that many times, not stand up with the bar strapped to my hands that many times

I’m currently doing overhand grip as heavy as possible because I agree about wanting to be able to actually pick up heavy weight. But it’s also my limiting factor and straps are just so tempting But my max DL is 315 so lol at me anyway

Yeah same I always warm up as much as I can with double overhand before switching to hook

Don't look at my earlier posts itt because there totally isn't a post about how it's ok to use straps all the time and grip will never be a problem for me

Hot take incoming. Using straps on your main heavy DL sets is A-OK IF you are not training to compete. You want to exercise your back/legs and not your gripstrength, it allows you to concentrate on the actual important bits.

Gripstrength owns though and the stronger your hands/forearms are the better all your heavy lifts will be, from dumbbell-anythings to bench

If DL is the only movement where you use any gripstrength you really need to add some more exercises to your workouts.

am i being a dumbass replacing bench press with db press past few weeks? poo poo owns, you can go so much deeper and really feel it but am i loving myself in some sort of criss angel mindfreak way but skipping actual barbell bench? Mu Zeta posted:Why do people want to get so swole. You know that it requires maintenance once you've achieved whatever bigness you wanted right. Just do a couple hours of cardio a week and you'll live a long time. I've ran a 15 week cycle and am running a shorter ester 8 week cycle a year later. My goal isn't to get big as much as it is to get as strong as I can at a reasonable size - 180lb @ 5'11" (current weight). I've got some extra time to train so I'm going to get the most out of this free time I can. They're great but you can get a great physique without them. I'd only consider them if the only limiting factor to your training is your recovery times are keeping you from working as hard and as often as you want to.

From a mechanical standpoint the DB press is actually better. Benchpress is just fun doing though.

My "balance" is "literally" measured in "exercises", not "sets" or "reps" or "volume" so "please" stop accusing me of "overthinking"

This is why I only jerk it after I clean it, so that I can feel out whether I'm going to be able to put it above my head safely but then again who lets a little thing like safety constrain their ~*SiCk GaInZ*~
