Hey guys, I have started a new program after cutting for several months, and a break that I shouldn't have taken. While cutting I never did deadlifts, but prior to the cut my 1 RM was ~315 lbs.
Right now, my first workout day on a new bulk, I could barely hold on to 225 by the 5th rep. Both wrists are much weaker than they were, and my left seems to give out before my right does. So what is the best way to get that strength back so I can do heavier deadlifts?
My current routine is Legs/Shoulder,Arm/Off/Back/Chest/Off/Off
following Max-OT principles. I figure for my arm day I should add in wrist curls or something, but I dont know if my forearms will recuperate fast enough with that ... maybe have my 2 days off after shoulder,arm day and then take one off after chest?
And are there better excersizes than wrist curls to help assist in the kind of grip strength I am talking about?

do a search on GRIP...here or on google.
i swear, i have posted 10 times in the last 3 days on grip strength
but to answer your question -
a) use a mixed grip
b) use chalk
c) static holds are the way to go for increasing support strength for deads
wrist curls are for forearm size, not grip strength

Or you could always just get straps.
