Need advice on barbell grip

[anotherbutters]

I bought myself some chalk for the gym and didn't really notice any benefit from it. I have dry hands, though, so maybe the chalk had nothing to do.

I just don't think you try hard enough when you deadlift

EDIT: Do you have big hands BW? Because I know you can use a regular grip on your heaviest deads. Just curious, since you manage that and still have dry hands. Chalk makes a big difference for me as I have small hands that tend to leak a lot. My wrists are 7" and the circumference of my clenched fist over the knuckles is 11".

My wrists are 8". Clenched fist is a new one... I seem to be 12.25"

I just didn't know what a good way of measuring a hand was

So, bigger than mine, but not big like shovels, I guess. My hand's finally recovered from the Ivanko gripper work, so I might hit it up again.

I took my COC #1 and trainer home with me over Christmas. The males of the family were gutted to be unable to close the trainer. I didn't bother to show them the #1. My nephew closed the trainer by squeezing it between his thighs and both hands.

Hehe, that's one way of getting an adductor workout.

Hehe, thanks for all the helps guys, even though I have NO idea what you two are talking about! (My innocent ears didn't hear anything =P)

Sorry about the slight hijack.

The CoC and Ivanko grippers are for strengthening your grip. They even work on innocent people
