hand straps for weightlifting

[bronco]

The general opinion, which is the same as my personal experience, seems to be that crushing grip strength (as trained with grippers) is not correlated to support grip strength (as used in deadlift) . Static holds is probably a better way to train grip for deadlifting, or maybe one hand deads.

Grippers can still be fun though .

There are plenty of options to choose from.

I don't know the name of the device which is a pipe with a secured rope into it which you can wind up o the pipe using rotation.

thank you all for your suggestions. when I see my trainer tomorrow who's helping me with powerlifting, I'll tell him my issue and relay your opinions to him on the matter.

get in a rack and just hold onto a deadlift weight higher than your from-the-ground PB, and improve on weight/time each week.

Tape your thumbs and use a hook grip. The only thing that breaks a hook grip is pain.

so I did hook grip today with my DLs (didn't tape my thumbs though). surprisingly it worked out well. it was a little awkward at first but I was able to lift even heavier, maybe I'll stick with this from now on. thank you ninearms and whoever else suggested hook grip!

You're a bigger man than me, I can't stand 'hookgrip' pain. Without tape it's even worse. When you go up in weight, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I know that personally my grip has been pretty shit last couple of weeks.
Did my heavy deads on Thurs and just put it in the front of my mind.

I held onto the bar so tight, made sure the bar was really tight in the webbing of my hand it really helped.

I reckon go into your deadlifts thinking 'GRIP GRIP GRIP GRIP" and you'll smoke your lifts.
