for those of you deadlifting 2 plate and using straps. Pick up a pair of 100lb dumbells and squeeze the fuck out of them. if you cant hang onto them for more than 30 seconds, your grip is that of a 12 year old girl, and you need to man up, not use straps. IMO
yea... so I really need to work on my grip cuz I just pulled off deadlifting 2 plates but I couldn't go more than like 3 reps w/o losing my grip. Any exercises I can do to increase my grip?

Now I feel like a lil girl FML.
