A few things I'd try
1) Work on your DOH grip. Do you do all warm-ups DOH? Work up to a single max-ish rep as part of your warm-up. You say you only do 6 warm up reps which isn't much. If your work weight is 245 I'd expect your warm-ups to look something like
135x5 DOH
185x3 DOH
215-225x1 max DOH
235x1 hook
245x5 hook
also hold onto the last rep as long as you can (don't go all out but hold on until it's moderately uncomfortable)
2) DB farmers walks. Just a set at the end of your workout
3) Add kroc rows, maybe, if recovery allows
4) If non of this helps then switch to 2x3
