So I'm now at about 210lbs for 3 sets of 5 on (cheat) bent over rows but I can't progress any further because my grip keeps giving out at 3 to 4 reps which forces me to kinda squatdown and rest the bar on my quads so I can readjust my grip. Should I get straps or is my grip just too weak and I should work on it directly? Would chalk help me? Any advice is appreciated

its a fucking assistance exercise get straps holy shit
you dont get extra points for not using straps
>muh grip and forearms
gripping on barbell doesnt translate super well to forearm gains

Sounds like the bar is slipping a bit in your hands as the set progresses.
Since slipping is made much worse by moisture I reckon you'd find chalk really helpful.
I'd recommend liquid chalk, super convenient to carry around, and makes less mess so more gyms are chill with it.

Chalk/straps and heavy farmer's walks for that grip strength.
