Grip

[LeoN88]

Lately i have been incorporating dead lifts into my compound routine but i am finding when i get to 100kg i can only do 7 reps at most and my grip just totally gives way yet i know i can do far more if it wasn't for my grip ...

So my question to you is what exercises would be most effective to improve upon my grip i do the one hand facing towards me and the other away to improve it slightly but it still gives way. If i got some straps would that prevent me improving my grip as i was thinking of buying some..

Thanks for the info! Well you've convinced me to not do a mixed grip but will order some chalk will probably look a bit to hardocre for the gym i'm at (david lloyd) but will give it a go, as i think thats the major problem in that my hands are always clammy...

I reset my grip on every rep of deadlifts.

But the only reason i dont reset my grip after ever rep is due to that fact that if i have the weights 5" or lower from the ground when i look at my form my back slightly bends which i cant seem to help .
Which resulted not long ago in me doing my back in and having some time off work as a result ! so i just use the rack where you do the squats and just lift it on top of there.


By the way plate pinchers looked it up on google saw a video so im assuming you just have to use 2 plates pinched together and then hold it there but they all seem to vary in time how long should i be looking to hold it for? and how many sets? 3?

muchas gracias

well i bought some liquid chalk to help with my deadlifts and it improved my reps from 5 up to 10 per set definately recommend the stuff!
