Oh, I just saw your reply, IK. When I do workout sets, I do both hands over, until my grip gives, then I switch to over-under. I learned that here Since this was a max, I just did it over-under. I have one strap, but I never use it, I will for 1-arm rows, though.

Good for you. An over/over is the best way to go. But when doing a 1rm, an over/under is fine. BUT if you work the over/over grip consistently, you should be able to do your 1rm with an over/over also.

You'll be less prone to injury that way ;)

On the topic of deads, are there any tricks for them? When I say tricks, I mean like gripping the bar really firmly on benchpress, or holding the weight at the top to strengthen the muscles/tendons?
