Actually I'm still going without until I absolutely need them. Before I stopped lifting I was just hitting 250 and starting to lose grip. However, now that I'm back into it I did 260 yesterday and am not having any difficulty holding the bar. I just picked them up to be sure, I'd rather develop grip as well so I'll be going without as much as possible. I'm using an over-under grip.
For the rows... When the bar starts to get too heavy I tend to try to extend my legs. My back still stays horizontal, but for some reason I'm 'standing up.' I can't figure out why this would 'help,' but is it bad? (I'd assume so, somehow)
