I think static holds are very effective for hand strength....and dead hangs after pullups...for example after shrugs just hold the bar or barbells for as long as you possibly can. You will be surprised. And jack off a lot.

What do bros deadlift here? Im reletivly slender (6 ft, 195, 9%BF). My 5rm is 310 which I realise is pretty low.

For heavy weight I use hook-gloves. I realise I am sacrificing hand strength but their ir simply no way I could hold onto the bar otherfwise

let's see, I haven't gone heavy on deads in a little while, but last time it was like 540 for 8 I think.

I have gone heavy recently on rack deads up to 725 for one pull.

Fuck thats alot of weight. My back just doesnt allow it. I can do reps on squats all day with 455lbs in the past. Then as soon as I go to 500lbs something just rolls and Im out of commission for a couple weeks. Same with deads. Anything over 455lbs and Im fucked up. I attribute it to my long trunk

I pulled 455 for 7 then 405 for 11 last Monday. 455 was previously my all time best 5RM. That was a big PR for me. I think maybe two guys beside me in my gym DL. When I pulled both of these sets there must have been 10 dudes watching me. You would have thought my head was on fire by the way they were looking at me. My boy pulled 500 for 3 reps at 180 yesterday. He is a competitive BB with two local shows under his belt. He is a young black dude with the genetics to go really far. He is natural too.
