deadlifts and grip stregth.
Howdy yallLots of great advice here. Good sources as well so I am going to ask some advice again. Oh and i relaly missed it when teh site was down over whatever that issue was. I am hoping sources were not compromisedSo anyway I am not per say a power lifter or bodybuilder but interested in both more recomp is what i could be called. Lifting and steroids manage to keep me in better shape than i would be without them and I am on MODERATE dosages since i am a big guyHere goes. My deadlift I "ok" from what I have been told i am 300lbs and my max deadlift is estiamted at 500 based on #reps times weight forumula. I have actually done 475 bare handed ( no straps but i use them often on my max set) I know all the jerking off jokes. What are some ideas on grip power. I used a alternate grip left hand palm in and right hand palm out ( dominant hand). I usually try to keep my max set to 5-7 reps whenever i get up around 7 I up the weight. They are done at the start of my back workout and I do a three day split push, pull legsA deadlift workout might look like this ( last actual workout) 135x10315x4420x5 The week before was the same but I got 420 for 7 and that is with straps. Many times ill count to 20 after the last rep and do a bare handed one sort of like a heavy duty rest/pauseAny help is appreciatedI tried those little gripper things you hold in your hand with two handles. I might have done way too much with them but suffice to say nothing serious but my outer forearm got to hurt like hell so that was not a good idea

Other than not using straps just doing holds at the top. Try going double overhand as long as possible before switching to mixed/hook for heavier sets

when i was a teen i used straps for deadlifts. a power lifter walked over and said ''don't do that'' told me to lower the weight and build up my grip. heavy anything will build grip strength though. obviously there's a time and place to use straps but with dumbbell shrugs, deadlifts in a normal to heavy work out you'll want to stay away from them

It may sound counter-intuitive, but lighten the load and do more rep work/time under tension. Doing ultra heavy loads will overload the CNS without doing some back-off work. Over time, this will actually weaken your grip strength. Periodize your training, with heavy sessions sprinkled into mostly sub-optimal training.

i agree. ''time under tension''. like swinging a hammer for 8 hours a day will do it too lol

I can see using lifting straps on your heaviest load to see if you can lift it, but most of your work should be done raw. I have straps and threw them out for good old fashioned chalk .

I use fat max grips on all my lifts so builds grip strength all the time
