Hi there.
The other day I was doing the deadlift ok, and I had 220 on the bar.
When i hit the 4th rep I was losing my grip but I knew I had enough strength left to finish at least 6-8reps.
What I did was i let the bar on the ground just for a second to get the grip back and then finished the set.
Is this right for me to do? Or should I just have finished the set when my grip gave in?
How do you do it?
Btw: I dont use any straps, gloves,belts or anything.

DEADlift, it's supposedto be dead weight, i MUCH prefer to do a rep, put it on the ground, then do another rep, this is especially true if you are working on strength

You should extremly chalk your hands so you dont have this problem again.
