Improving Deadlift Grip
I'm having trouble with my grip on my Deadlift. Yesterday i was deadlifting 118lbs and I could do more reps but my grip fails on me first. I do try to reset my grip but i can't always keep going because it just hurts my hand. I Deadlift bare-handed. Does chalk help with this?

Feeling fat!
I need a pep talk I think. I've gained 3 lbs in 7 weeks which I'm Happy about as I can really see muscle starting to come through and I'm stronger. But today I put on a pair of my pants I wear only in the summer and I couldn't button them! They were altered years ago to fit me and they still fit me until now. Another pair…
