Finally I found out my grip strength is like very weak, and its holding me on almost all lifts, especially on the pull day, so what are ur opinions what's helped u a lot with grip strength, I was thinking of farmers walk and dead hangs, any other exercises or opinions would be welcomed.

Not just my back mostly all of my lifts.. Weighted chins suffer a lot, rows, even my bench I tried farmers walk with like 55lbs in both hands and I got I think 20m and my forearms got really sore and couldn't finish my set..maybe I will try in the future but not for now trying to built that popeye grip strength

Chalk Is the first port of call.
Sweat n slipping is frequently the cause of 'bad grip'
Past that...
Hold on properly/not hgh in your hand.
Hold on tighter/especially pinky&ring fingers
Exercises that can help once you squared away the first things are indeed, dead hangs, holding your deadlift last Reps, doing as much double over as possible.
Don't sleep on straps, they can help keep your back growing while your mitts catch up.FMH crew - Couch.
'pick a program from the stickies' = biggest cop out post.

My grip is weak too, but i have never had grip problems. I just do pull ups for forearm and grip. I don’t overload my body but just maintain muscles everyday while losing weight on calorie deficit, but even if i were to do pull ups till exhaustion, my arms and shoulders and back would probably be spent before my grip. I am happy with my weak grip. Got enough grip for any exercise i do.
