Grip feels weak

[idamaster]

After a while of working out, I feel that my grip is weak. I don't mean literally weak, because that isn't the case. I mean that it feels weak. Anyone else have this issue? Any input? I feel that even though I can deadlift 3x my body weight without a problem, I can go pick up some dumb bells and feel like I cant squeeze as hard as I "should" be able to. I feel that I should have the feeling that I could squeeze extremely hard, but instead I feel like my grip is weaker than before lifting. Maybe this is a stretching issue? What do you guys think.

Have you tried an alternating grip? I feel so much stronger grip wise doing that then forward grip. Haven't tried hook grip, but I hear it helps as well. Also maybe you just have reached a point where straps might be useful. Meaning you can literally deadlift more than you can hold, so that might help as well.

Farmers walks also help my grip incredibly, and j usually do them on my second back day when I don't deadlift. Phenomenal exercise and really functional.

I meant my grip feels weak in general. Not just referring to dead-lifting

Maybe you have carpel tunnel syndrome? Or again in general maybe your grip is fatigued or just can't handle the weight you lift all around.

Grip is basicly the strength of your forearm/hand muscles. Eventually it fatigues and that's why you won't be able to apply as much force as you could before you lifted that day.

Have this aswell, noticed the other day after Deadlifting, Military Pressing, heavy Barbell Rowing etc...

When I picked up the dumbbells for bicep curls, my grip was weak as fk, I guess my forearms just wore out

Exactly how I feel. I can deadlift 600+ without straps, but when I get some dumbbells or use a wide-grip pull down machine I feel like I have terrible grip strength. This is more of a rant than anything else haha
