How do I stop fucking dropping the bar on my heavy deadlifts?

mixed grip is fine, just alternate hands to solve imbalance. this can be annoying since it means odd number of sets with still cause it. you have to remember what hand position you used last set last deadlift session if you did say 5x5
if you don't wanna fuck with that, time to do bar holds to improve grip strength so you can hold onto the bar you little girl

Whenever someone starts going on about MUH MUSCLE IMBALANCES, that's usually a signal to go ahead and tune out.

Mixed grip is fine. Just be sure that your elbows are extended completely before you start to pull, or you could hurt your bicep

straps
hook grip
train your forearms more

double overhand for as many reps as possible, then just switch to mixed grip

this is the only time i will ever utter this phrase

figjam is right

if you have bigger hands you can learn hook grip too, and if you don't plan to compete just pull with straps and train your grip separately with static holds

Chalk might help too

>>42882814
yeah chalk goes without saying, it's a prerequisite for heavy pulling

>>42882722
hook grip

RIP your thumbs

Just use chalk and start warming up with hook grip anon. After a couple of sessions you get used to the slight pain and then it's just liberating to be able to grip the bar without having to remember which hand was pronated last time or to bring straps.

Setting up doesn't take nearly as long as with the other alternatives either.
