Wouldn't rather have that rescue versus using over-under, failing, and having no where to turn other than straps? Always look to the long term.

I've never had a problem with grip going over under. In fact, I do rack deadlifting over under w/ a ton more than conventioal deads for that matter. Why do you think anyone would "fail" sticking solely with the OU.. And more than that, why wouldn't you use the most grip power for the heaviest deadlifts without it holding you back, then doing grip work until your hearts content afterwards? I think holding a double overhand during warmups is unnecessary. For a stronger grip, you're ALREADY doing yourself a great service by ditching the straps period.. That means swinging from the pullup bar with an extra 50 pounds on you, heavy rows without straps, ect. I wouldn't want my grip to fail during deadlifting period.

Because when you switch to over-under when needed after using the double overhand you really have a lot more left so it is your reserve or "rescue" grip.

When I went back and reread what he wrote, it seems his "rescue" grip was failing him when it started getting heavy after the 2O
