I keep on freaking out though since I have had issues with my traps in the past after deadlifting heavy. I'm doing more trap work now though so hopefully it will hold out..
One thing I realized the last time though was that fingers are pretty fucking amazing.. think about this for a second.. it is taking your entire body to lift that weight but just 10 fingers hold all the weight for the entire time.. Well unless you are using straps. I am trying to get popeye forearms so I dont use straps for anything

I agree. They are nuts! My deadlifts have gone down big time. I was doing 3 plates and a 10 for 5-6 reps but I have since stopped doing the mixed grip(T-Nation article conviced me to stay away) and had to drop it down to 2+35lber. My grip is definetely improving though. When I first switched, my hands could barely hold 2 plates.
