no but really i love lifting heavy without straps, makes me feel alpha as fuck

>>40548352
also i can barely do 100kg for 5 reps but my gripstrength is fine.
Maybe its the pullups and hanging I do that helps it

>100kg DL after the 3rd rep my grip fails

hahahahahahahahahahh

Just use a mixed grip and work on your grip strength as well.

yeah i know right bruh i could deadlift 4pl8 with one hand the day I stepped foot in the gym

>>40548340
Nothing wrong with mixed grip
I'm not sure where this meme came from

>>40548352
i'm sure your 3pl8 deadlift makes you very alpha

Static holds.
Farmer walks.
Hold a dumbbell by the ends.
If you have a hand gripper use your fingers and not entire hand.

Fuck mixed grip and fuck straps. Do double overhand till your grip fails then do hook grip to finish the set.

Why not just hook grip all the reps? Does DO train grip strength more than hook?

>>40548431
i dont actually lift anything, i just said that because i wish i did

>>40548448
Yes, absolutely. Hook grip will kill your thumbs if you use it for all reps and won't train grip as much. It's very easy to switch to mid-set as well.

>>40548448
Hook grip is DO with your thumb under your index & middlefinger so yes DO does train it more than hook grip

hook grip doesn't improve grip strength at all. It's just a mechanical trick.

I'm a manlet so my hands are smaller, making it harder to grip on heavy deads (less overlap between thumb and fingers), so I switched to mixed grip pretty early. I do double overhand for my warmup sets to work on grip strength, and then do mixed on my working set.

Once I hit 315 dead I had to start using mixed grip since I couldn't overhand after 3 reps. Been using mixed grip for a year now when my working sets are over 315 and I haven't seen any imbalances or anything. Might be a meme who knows. Also got some straps recently to try them out and apperntly I can hardly lift 2 reps at 375 with them. Took them off and used mixed grip and repped out 3x5. What I'm saying is stick with one type of grip. If double overhand just train your forearms and grip.

thats me but im 6"1

Are you using chalk? I can do about 350 without mixed grip but it just takes work. About 405+ if its not mixed I slip first try.
