2019 is starting to come together slowly for me, garage gym is now fully cleared out and useable again, guess this means I need to sort out a workout plan. Will post a pic up later.
Seem to be having same problem as before with deadlifts, grip giving out before anything else. I could strap but gotta fix that wet fish handshake I call a grip as 120kg is way too light for getting accessories involved.
Some suggestions for mixed grip. From personal experience I would suggest against this. While it will help you lift more weight because your grip isn't failing, it will also generate imbalances in your back muscles, even though I alternated the switched hand in what I thought was a regular and consistent manner, the imbalances that built up over a couple of years of training were mental.
Always go as far as you can with no straps, only using chalk (liquid chalk is great stuff
link), after that either hook grip or straps. If you never intend to do any sort of power lifting competition then straps are fine, just only ever use them in your later sets, normally later working sets.
Just had my first failure on deadlifts on SL. 127.5kg just hit a wall on the 4th of my work set. Not helped by 4 inch belt niggling but that's no excuse! Ordered one of these on Fri

Not sure if this has been said already but if you are doing stronglifts then it is advised you only do 3 working sets for deadlifts.
