deadlifts

[SkinnyGuy84]

yea thats how im holding the bar now, i cant grip it as well the regular way, also when i use straps it actually feels like my hands are weaker. im pretty sure thats not how they are suppose to work.

id lose the straps.like the guys said prev,dont sacrifice form for all out wt.for me training sqauts and deadlifts on the same day worked best, dont laugh if done proper a sumo is very much a comp sqaut. heavy day sqauts low medium reps 4-8 finish up after rest of session with med high reps 8-12 in a kinda burnout mode with the sumos.next sqaut/dead day reverse your mode ..sumo for people with good quad and ass/power.convent deads for those with cast iron lower backs and good hip strength.my bud kenny pulls mid seven on a reg basis and when i watch him if my lower back had a asshole it would draw up...works for him though.be safe with your back.buell

If your gym has a trap-bar, try doing deads with that. If it doesn't consider buying one, it's great investment. The only deads I do with the straight bar are RDLs.
