I’m currently midway through the Hypertrophy/GPP template, and it prescribes a number of sets of higher-rep deadlifts and RDLs (6-8 reps). I find that using a standard overhand grip is tending to fail just before the end of the second or third set @RPE 8. I can use a hook grip to do the set, but I find that painful to the point of distraction (it’s fine for 1-3 reps, but not 8). I don’t currently own a pair of straps, so I’ve been using a mixed/alternating grip to complete the top sets.
Anybody got an opinion whether I should invest in some straps and use those, or just continue using a mixed grip for these sets as required?
