Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Very strong lifting Luke and even stronger first name. I used to have issues with grip and in addition to simply holding a deadlift for longer as others have said, I found that high rep DB rows really helped. Using a weight that I could keep rowing for ages so my grip would become the limiting factor. | ||

Chris Wong is looking strong Member 5207, 371 posts SQ 232.5, BP 130, DL 272.5635.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | PeteHodgson said:Strong as f**k. Well done. I'm in no position to offer advice, but I doubt I could get much leg drive on bench with my feet right in front. I have mine wider apart. That said, it probably depends on bench height and personal feel. Im trying to reinvent my bench, in all honesty im no where near as clued up on the bench as i am the other lifts (evidently), so will play around with different feet positioning! Thanks for your input Pete! | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3233 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.04.2015 @ 12:15 PM by matthewvc lrogers75 said: Skip to 2mins 30 to avoid my lovely black country accent... Thought I would post in here for more advice, this is the second time I have dropped 265kg in comp, apart from having a s**t grip, is there anything I'm doing obviously wrong, if it is just s**t grip, what are the better exercises to improve grip specifically for deadlifting? Thanks for any help Luke Had weak grip 1 year ago from strap use decided to bite bullet and learn hook Plate curls + thick bar holds and single arm deadlift holds were my grip staples Never did a grip crushing movement at all. Hook is a lot about getting used to discomfort as much as strength. | ||
