Goddamn grip gave out on me today during deadlifts. Doing 315, I got the 1st rep, then on the 2nd my right hand (the underhand one) couldn't hold out after I got above my knees. Was hoping for 3 reps but only got 1... I tried to regroup and go again but I was mentally done for heavy sets. Did get a nice 13@225 afterwards to somewhat make up for it.

I've always done left hand over, right hand under for the heaviest set, as that's what felt the most natural. But I might have to revisit. (And yes, I do switch it up each set to avoid imbalances.)

I've also been doing these deadlift rows on deadlift day too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpn-SVawj9w

....obviously with a lot less weight than that beast. I just have no love for the traditional BB row; trying to keep my back parallel to the ground for 6-8 heavy reps is just not fun.
