I was deadlifting the other day, and almost lost my grip. I wasn't lifting very heavy, 120 kg for 3 reps. I have been lifting on and off for two years. How can I improve my grip strength? Or do I have to buy straps?

Farmers walks for time or hanging from a pull-up bar for time work well. My favorite is a rack pull where you lift 3-4 inches to lockout and hold for 30-60s for 2-3 sets. Once you hit 60, up the weight.
Are you doing mixed grip? Or hook grip?
>Farmers walks
/thread
Are Farmers walks about the distance you walk or the time you hold that shit? I'm a home gym guy and I don't have a lot of space to walk around.
Do this.
I used to do farmers walk, but the gym I go to now isn't big enough them. I will do the hanging from a pull-up bar, I have one at home.
I have only used normal grip normal grip so far, maybe I will try hook grip.
Walk in a circle
Walk around yard circling the house.
Ask the guy working the desk if you can walk down the street and back with the weights, or around the parking lot.
I work out at a 24hr gym, mostly at night, and the front desk is only manned for 2-3 our in the middle of the day. I don't think they would allow it anyways. I might buy some used kettle bells or something so I can do it outside at home.
If nobody is there, who is going to stop you?
The other people there? And they have cameras. I don't want to risk losing my membership. It's would also be a bit tricky just bringing the weights outside, there is an airlock to get in and out.
get on the treadmill for keks.
>120kg

Just buy some chalk OP.
>2018kg

Do this
-Grab loaded barbell at thigh height in rack
-Use rack to hold on to and brace yourself
-Lift barbell with white-knuckle tight grip, holding until failure
can you read
'I wasn't lifting very heavy'
Illiteracy seems to be a big problem in burgerland.
Mixed grip works wonders, it feels so unnatural the first time before you start the lift but as soon as you start that all goes away.
>gloves
what a fag
Shoo shoo
Chalk is not allowed at the gym I go to. But that wasn't the problem, I used normal grip and the bar rolled out my fingers.
I'll try next time at the gym. Should I switch grip between sets or between workouts?
I will try that, thanks!
>"grow, grow, grow"
yea, what a fag, for going outside gabbing freezing cold metal bars with gloves
>gloves
if you use gloves to exercise, you better be working out in about 40 below zero weather.
>doing mixed grip
I'd rather not snap my bicep tendon.
that you are such a pussy that you cant handle a slightly cold bar, which will heat up by working out by the way, is not my problem
I like doing finger curls. I wouldn't do it with dumbbells though because I struggle to do double overhand with 275lb for reps and I got up to 80lb dumbbells before I was able to get a proper burn from the reps and it's a bitch to find DBs higher than 120.
>being so much of a pansy that you make excuses for other people
what the fuck
>Should I switch grip between sets or between workouts?
If you want, I personally don't. I don't think it matters at all really.
Retard not realizing that it's winter, the fucking
bar won't heat up by you grabbing it for a few minutes.
You should get out sometime.
>giving a shit that a bar is gonna be cold to the touch
I've had my bare fingertips wet and freeze to the sides of trailers at work and I didn't give a shit. I think it's something to do with my body heat being high enough that the outermost layers of skin bring cold didn't really affect the actual meat underneath.
point is, if a bar is cold, just fucking grab it and stop being a punkass bitch. while you're up there, do some pullups to get the blood pumping. you should be training grip on pull days anyway.
holy fuck my sides
never have I seen a more fitting filename. well done.
Superior hook grip
