No! I've also been hampered by bicep tendonitus which stopped all upper pulling/curling for 8-10 weeks which helped me to lose a ton of grip work also. I've just started grip work now, expect it to go up fast. Will do alot of volume double overhand with no hook for a while now.

I'd do holds personally to bring the grip up
Heavy...something you can hold for a max of maybe 30secs at 1st....then try increase week by week
Just my 2p

As in, a clean pull?
As in, a clean pull?
No, just a deadlift from below knees to lockout with an arched back and no belt.

10 A.M.
1) COMPETITION BENCH
1x3@80kg
1x3@100kg
1x2@120kg
1x1@140kg
1x1@147.5kg
1x1@150kg
1x1@150kg (MISS)
1x1@147.5kg
1x1@145kg (MISS)
4x1@140kg
2) PAUSED DB BENCH
1x9@100lbers (miss tenth)
1x8@100lbers (miss ninth)
1x7@100lbers
1x6@100lbers
3) LATERAL RAISES
4 sets of 10-20
4) DIPS
1x15@bw
1x14@bw+10kg
1x12@bw+20kg
1x6@bw@bw+25kg, 1x5@bw (drop set)
NOTES;
Very productive. Given the tempo of my benches they were far more controlled than usual and yet I still hit 150kg which equals my A.M. PB. Hitting 147.5kg+ seems to be alot more constant now, which means things are on the move.
Db's and dips were very good, very good mass builders for me. Not sure I can keep with the laterals, shoulder doesn't seem 100% ready for OHP or that sort of stuff at the moment.
By the end of this block I expect to have hit 157.5kg pause bench and moved all sets of paused db's to 8-10 reps per set. That will be a good starting point for the summer.

In all honesty, if I went back now knowing what I now know, I would do less frequency if I was in your position. Ultimately its all about gaining a training effect and IMHO the skill aquisition element of lifting only needs to be perfected for a short duration close to competition (2-4 weeks). The rest of the year is about creating enough of a deficit to promote supercompensation once you back off, nothing more.
Keep the quality high, the frequency low to medium and see where it takes you. Every rep counts.
