Using Straps on Deadlift. How do I train my grip?
I recently popped a blood vessel in my palm, while trying to deadlift heavy (for me, 355 lb) on a wobbly platform (I have since fixed the platform). This recurrent bruise makes it hard to deadlift heavy, causing a lot of pain on a max tightness hook grip.
In order to continue deadlifting, I've gotten a pair of straps. However, I'm worried about keeping my grip strength on par with my deadlifting ability. Are there other "sub-max" grip exercises I should consider, to keep training my grip while recovering from this injury?
