    Losing grip on deadlift

    Is it normal to be losing grip at 235? I usually get up the first 3 reps just fine, but the last 2 slip so much that I have to reset and regrip, I have already tried using reverse grip
    Should I supplement my workout with farmer walks or forearm curls?
    I rep back 1k+

    235 is different for everyone.. use gloves, chalk, work grip strength
    Cutting for a while..

    I think losing grip means it's too heavy.

    When that happens, I use an underhand grip on one hand and an overhand grip on the other. I then restart the set and complete my reps.

    I don't like depending on that grip though.

    By reverse grip I assume you are using one hand over and one under? Just had to say it

    But there are a ton of things to do to improve grip. Also towel deadlifts, Reeves rows, holding a dumbell by the weighted end. Use this site's search engine to see a ton of them. Make sure you are eating enough before deadlifts too, if I only have one or two meals before deadlifting my grip is dead.

    Everyone is different but forearm curls have helped with size but never grip on deadlifts for me. Holding a deadlift at the top and squeezing the bar to burn out my grip has though.

    Buy some chalk.

    Use DOH for as long as you can in your sets and then switch to Mixed Grip.
    Sheiko!

    will invest in some chalk, how about straps and belts, when do those generally come into play? because currently I'm doing them raw
