Grip strength for deadlifts

>>42510847
I do calf raises with a heavy ass bar held out in front of me with a mixed grip in-between arm sets. You just have to hold heavy shit. Weighted pull ups are good too.

That's interesting, I can see it working. I have also been doing weighted wide grip pull ups, they're my favorite exercise

>>42510886
They are good for your back but close grip is better for your forearms. Reveese that close grip and it targets your biceps. Good way to end an arm workout.

Hook grip, and don't look back.

how are Farmers Walks and Grip Trainers for grip strength, /fit/?

Hook grip and cease being a huge pussy. There is zero reason to use a mixed grip at under 400lbs

Farmers walks are great for grip and forearm mass/muscle. Grip trainers are just no unless you are a beginner

Hook grip is correct. I've never had an issue after switching

Don't deadlift more than you can overhand grip
Thats how you don't fuck your shit up

Not sure how weak you have to be to not be able to double overhand 300+ easily

What's a good weight to go from standard double overhand to hook grip? My grip keeps failing around 290lbs.

Really you should use hook grip from when you start training. Just look up how to do it properly. Get used to your thumbs feeling like they'll come off too

This. It's better to start as early as possible so that you build up a tolerance to the pain. It can hurt like hell at first. I switched after 3 plates, and just did it on warm up sets for a while. Eventually I was able to do it for work sets without an issue.
