actually, more than grip work, my hands actually got sweaty so i found it difficult to grip the bar. over-under wouldnt have made a difference...

Not true. Over-under helps prevent the bar from rolling in the hands. When the hands are sweaty it is harder to keep it from rolling to the fingers. So over-under would have still helped counter this. But some chalk (a block of chalk that you wipe on) would help greatly. You seem to have a constant excuse about why to not switch to over-under when you need it. You know good and well that my reading comprehension is better than that. You said my grip is shitty. But you didn't switch over at the end and now your hitting me with the sweaty palms thing. Which is it? Sweaty palms is not a very hard thing to solve and it seems to me you would have said my hands were sweaty instead of complaining about your grip strength. If worse comes to worse keep a pair of leather lifting gloves on standby for sweaty palm syndrome. I think it all translated to "I want to use straps". Do you know that even straps, in the long run is not enough if your grip is weak? Of course it depends on you volume and the sort of exercises you do but there can come a day for the life-long strap guy when he tries to hold onto some heavy rack deads, for instance, and finds that the straps are not even enough anymore....so he's got no where to go except some type of "lifting hook" which is REALLY bad...
OK, so Anuj said in PM is was really sweaty palms...meaning I digressed. This is par for the course in trying to keep your grip up.
P.S. Anuj hit some nice looking deads on this workout.
, You guys will be calling him sir once he's through
