    put a bar on top of a power rack and hang from it - if you can hold on for more than 30 seconds add weight

    yes. keep doing that and your grip strength should improve relatively quickly.

    Revolving bar hangs (weighted if possible), or DB hold for time depending on your current level of strength.

    This.

    I personally love doing weighted hangs for my deadlift grip. I aim for 45-60 seconds and add more weight until 45 seconds is hard again, then repeat and so on. A few weeks after I started doing these I realized I had a much stronger deadlift grip. I could nearly pull DO what I could with a mixed grip.

    What helped me:

    Deadlift with double overhand more, switch to mixed grip at the last minute.

    on my final couple of work sets (or my warmdown sets if I have them) I just hang onto the deadlift for as long as I can on the last rep
