Come one. Definitely no. If you can grip it and lift it, then you shouldn’t snd need to work on grip and post chain strength.

I completely understand your POV. This is just a recommendation for people who have out grown their own personal hand strength or are competitive level.

Not everyone can work on grip strength due injuries or whatever. Nowadays I’m unable to hold more than 315 but I can still pull over 500 easily. Grip strength is definitely a plus but not necessary.

Just a side thought to this conversation. I'm not a bodybuilder though now I'm trying to build my body. The deadlift was my best lift til my motorcycle accident. Straps helped me get my 1rm up for sure. However it took me a while to understand how to use them properly. I had a tendency while using straps to not squeeze the hell out of the bar while repping. I started getting tendinitis in my elbows. The harder you squeeze that bar the more information your body gets back from the bar. This helps ignite some of the smaller muscles that will protect those elbows.

If you’re really looking for more info on powerlifting, you should watch the Juggernaut Training Systems videos on YouTube. I really like them a lot. And they really know their sh*t. They also get into a bit of information for conventional bodybuilding stuff, but mainly their focus in on powerbuilding.

I hate when my damn grip gives. I use straps but they seem like they are maybe a tad small so i might try to find some longer ones and I love the deadlift is is one of those practical lifts that come in handy other places and real world application

all i have been able to do during our lockdown period is barbell work. my grip strength has been holding back my bigger lifts, ive just ordered figure8 straps and im sure they will be great assistance because eddie hall used them in his 500kg deadlift record. infact, all the elite world strongman deadlifts allow for straps, suits, belts.
if we need assistance, use the tools that allow the strongest people in the world to deadlift the crazy weights they pull.
