- epimetheus 10y agoStraps are key though, if you are like me, and suffer from chronic Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Deadlifting heavy will exacerbate the condition (or high reps with 6-7 RPE even). It does seem to get better if I don't use them for my warmups and do use them for working sets, but I still get twinges.
- Neliquat 10y agoOnly ever heard it for straps.
- ChemicalWarfare 10y agoEquipped DL puts more strain on the grip simply because the weight is heavier. The best DL-like movement that specifically targets grip strength is partial DLs off the blocks or in the rack. That way the weight is heavier and you can specifically target the lockout hold where the grip strength is most important DL - wise.
- saiya-jin 10y agoyou mean just normal dead lifts... never had the need to use those, but then I focus on more reps with smaller weights to mitigate injury risk, rather than max weight possible.
