Good job OP. I'm proud of you. Double overhand grip no less.

overhand vs mixed doesnt matter when youre using straps

>straps

>chalk
Doesn't count. Just use mixed grip if you're going to be a pussy and use straps, retard. You're weak.

Sumo completely disregards the tradition and essence of the lift and should not be considered the same movement as a conventional Deadlift. It shouldn't be accepted in a meet, and should be used only in training as assistance work (by faggots).
Would a buttplug enhance your deadlift?

Came here to say this lmao
Congrats OP, welcome to intermediate lifter status

I use straps exclusively while training and the one time I forgot to bring them and had to use hook grip + chalk I repped the exact same amount of weight the only difference was my hands hurt like a motherfucker after so I see no reason to train hook grip if it's not even necessary at 5 plates.
If for some reason I decided to be a powerlifter I could ignore the hand pain for 3 attempts but I don't see any reason to train it regularly.
>>42424271
then why can't you pull anywhere near 545 with straps, belt, and chalk? i can smell your frail DYEL geek body from here

for a second I thought that was Alex Jones
