The deadlift grip is not strong enough? What should I do if my hand slides halfway through the deadlift?

Deadlift grip strength is not enough? 　　　Deadlift is a great action! We advocate that not only athletes, but also men, women, young and old should carry out deadlift training!

　　　Deadlift makes us stronger, stronger, and have a better figure!

　　But most people often have a frustrating situation during deadlift: when they are halfway through training, they cannot grasp the barbell and do not hold enough grip strength!

　　Although they are still very strong, they can lift more heavier, but they have to surrender

　　Many people use tension belts to assist or use forward and reverse grip methods when they are not strong enough, but this is never a long-term solution! The tension belt will make you lift heavier and help stay away from insufficient grip strength, but you cannot rely on it all the time!

　　　The forward and reverse grip can also make you hold tighter, but it is not a long-term solution. Refer to the previous article "The Disadvantages of Deadly Pulling the Front and Back Grip"

　　How to improve such a dilemma?

　　1. Improve grip skills

　　There are three common hard-pull methods: half-grab, ring grip and lock grip (half grip is not recommended! The easiest to fall off)

　　The ring grip is the most commonly used grip method, and it is very comfortable and natural! Four-finger half-grab barbell, just like a hook, and then press your thumb on your index and middle finger!

　　3. Try to learn lock grip!

　　　Lock grip is a special grip method in weightlifting, and it is also the most stable grip! Require your thumb to be close to the barbell, and your limbs surround the barbell and wrap your thumb. Its biggest advantage is that it can effectively prevent tripping, but at the same time, the biggest disadvantage is that it is extremely uncomfortable for novices, and it is difficult for people with small hands to do it.

　　If you want to make yourself hold tighter, you can learn how to hold weights!

　　　2. Use magnesium powder!

　　　　Magnesium powder can help you stop slipping! Increase friction and make you hold tighter! However, many commercial gyms do not allow their members to use magnesium powder!

　　3. Improve grip!

　　This is the most important point! It is also the point you should focus on!

　　But many people will enter the misunderstanding of isolated training when training grip and forearm. Fantasy to rely on some isolated wrist bends to strengthen the forearm!

　　　If you want to improve grip and lift forearm, isolated movements will not bring much benefit!

　　You need to focus on grasping and lifting these multi-joint composite movements! Let enough weight challenge your grip!

　　Many people often hug you Responsible for their lack of grip strength, but they always do not reflect on whether there is too little grip training in their training schedule!

　　How frequent is the deadlift frequency in your training? What about other changes? For example, pull-ups, climbing ropes, farmer walking, pulling down, and rowing?

　　If you don't need to develop grip strength in your training, your grip strength will not increase!

　　Look at those deadlift madmen, gymnasts, and rock climbers! They have very strong grip strength! Their training is full of various pulling, grabbing, grip, and lifting movements! This makes them extremely powerful!

　　And my favorite thing is the farmer walking! Holding your hands tightly with enough weight, and then walking a distance! Until my palm surrenders!
