Hey /fit/, started lifting around 6 months ago. My DL was going really well until around a week ago; I was hitting 110kg for my 5rm. That's obv beginner stuff for a 100kg guy like me, but I was making good progress. I'd been doing it all mixed grip owing to the advice of a friend when I started; a dude corrected me on this last week and suggested that I go overhand grip for my DL to improve my grip. Now the best I can do without my grip going is 70kg 5x5. Is it common to lose 40 when changing from mixed to overhand grip, or is it indicative of gross underdevelopment somewhere? And is it a good idea?
