GnP Sonnen - I sumo lift with a over under grip. I like that way a lot Phone Post 3.0
How much you pulling sumo? Do you conventional too? Phone Post 3.0

But I just started heavier deadlifts a few weeks ago. I don't really do conventional, it's uncomfortable for me. Phone Post 3.0

That's a good pull for your BW. I'm chasing the 220kg by feb on the events day but I'm doubtful il reach it in that time. Phone Post 3.0

Kenny Blankenship - Why use straps and miss out on developing grip strength? Phone Post 3.0

When someone has been training long enough, there comes a point where grip strength becomes the limiting factor to completing the desired volume of various lifts.

Using a mixed grip increases one's grip effectiveness, but as mentioned throughout this thread carries greater risk for bicep tears.

When one fatigues his grip completely on deads, this hampers his ability to do other work requiring strong grip such as ohter pulling movements and even pressing movements. Once your grip is shot, it can lower the remaining workout's quality.

There is also a ceiling to how strong one's grip can get; perpetually trying to increase volume and loading past a certain level doesnt work.

Yes, that's a very good pull.

Over 2x bodyweight with no overhand grip and no straps won't win you any powerlifting comps but would make you stand out in most conventional gyms full of regular lifters.

Keep it up. Phone Post 3.0
