Your grip will be trained. How could it not be?

Saying that DL is good for grip training is like saying curls are good for the lower back because you have to stay tight to counter balance the weight...
Trust me, anyone that knows about grip training will NEVER tell you to just go dead lift.
It isn't sufficient. In fact, I would say rock climbing is FAR superior as a grip trainer, but it doesn't make much sense to prescribe that either.
