Do higher DLs with straps or try to get grip stronger?

Straps or no straps?

strap-ons

This could be pretty good advice

Huh. I already do hold the bar on the last rep sometimes, but I might incorporate this. Both counting to five on the last rep and hold, and maybe the lighter 50% holds. Seems like it shouldn't be too taxing.

I was concerned with this back when. I remember 275 slipping. Kept on. Started alt grip. Got up to 405. Now I DOH to my work set the ALT for work and back off sets if needed. It is keeping up with the weight.

I can do 315x5 and then everything just starts to fall apart, so I put the bar down. As far as the grip, by the 5th rep, the bar is basically hanging at the end of my fingertips.

I'm doing an alternating grip. I know about the symmetry issue with double overhand, but when I try to pick up the bar with double overhand, it kind of spins out into my shins.

Hey, thanks. What are your chins like? I had some grip issues around 300-350ish but found doing AMRP chin sets helped a lot.
