Hands keep slipping with deadlifts...grrr

wolfsbayne

I deadlift 225 lbs for 5 reps and can get 2 reps with 235 lbs. I use gloves. My grip hasn't suffered from it. I'm sure once I get heavier, I'll switch to chalk and we'll see.

ETA: I use a mixed grip

I have experienced the same and I will echo the chalk, wrist wraps and alternate grips advice.

One thing they recommend for improving your pull-ups until you can do a decent set of 6-8 pull-ups is to practice, using more sets and fewer reps. For example, doing eight sets of just three repetitions each. I suspect that kind of a routine would be perfect for strengthening your grip.
Maybe try a mixed grip and try that type of routine for a month?

I do like to wear my gloves, but don't wear them for a few lifts and Deadlifts are one if them. I use chalk Deadlifting with a double overhand grip for warm ups sets then switch to a mixed grip for working sets. Personally not a fan of straps for myself as they mess up my setup. I do like straps for slow RDLs, though.

Chalk
Grip strength exercises, the easiest being reset your grip before your last rep and then hold at the top as long as you can.

Mix grip helps me a ton

I use gloves always. When I get to a weight where my hand starts to slip I'll add in straps but focus on that weight for awhile till I can lift it without straps.

Don't see the whole glove causing loss of grip thing though. I can do the same weight with or without gloves one just lessens the chance of ripping my hands up.

I want to recommend a cheap product you can buy online that i used when i did a lot of pole fitness: Nelson Products Dry Hands. You can order it online and it's totally worth it! Great for pole, pull ups, toes to bar, weightlifting, golf, tennis, etc.
