Thanks for the input.

Since those two styles of dead lift put more emphasis on the back, would I work my back as much while using less weight than with the standard dead lift. The biggest issue that I am having is with holding the weight. Normally, the morning after I will not be able to make a fist because my hands and wrists hurt so bad.

I am looking for different kinds of straps and I will check out some hooks like mentioned above. Is there a strap that is attached to a gauntlet style glove? This way it distributes the load over a wider area instead of only the wrist?

As far as the gauntlet thing goes, I'm not sure. My back gets much less of a workout when I do RDLs compared to a conventional deadlift. I typically do more low intensity work with RDLs though. My advice would be to give it a try.
