Fat bar DL after work set for grip strength

[PunchSlap]

Rip, I think I've seen you mentioned this in an old thread, but there were to details in it.
I've reached the point in my training where I can't hold on to my deadlift with a prone grip. I've been thinking about using straps, hook grip hurts like a bitch and I don't like mixed because of the asymmetry(feels weird) during the lift.
Anyways, would doing a few sets with a fat bar after my DL work set be beneficial? If so, how many reps and sets?
The diameter of the bar is a little thicker than the sleeves.

Do ONE set as a back-off, a 5RM on the fat bar, after you finish pulling.

Alright, thanks!

You get used to hook grip pretty fast. 250 hurt alot when I started, now 400 feels fine.

Really? Well, for not I can barely stand hooking my last warm-up set so I don't know about me using them during my work set anytime soon. Would just using the hook grip as much as possible make me get used to it?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Not caring that it hurts would help a lot more.

Deal with it.

Unfortunately, I'm not badass enough to not care. But I'll try.

"and I don't like mixed because of the asymmetry(feels weird) during the lift."
Simply feeling weird in mixed-hand-grip is preventing you from progressing on your deadlifts?
I can only imagine how much more weird you will feel, when chalk touches your hands for the first time.
I fail to understand a person being this weird.

M-T

No, it doesn't Muscolo-Tonto, stop trolling. I merely stated that I'd rather straps for a prone grip than a mixed grip. Don't take shit out of proportion and try to make me look like an idiot.
As I said, I just came to the point of where I can't hold on to my deadlift with a prone grip. But have I said that I absolutely have completely excluded the use of a mixed grip because it feels less comfortable than a prone grip? No. Your response makes it seem so.
Time for a course in semantics maybe? At least read this so you won't make the same mistake again: http://www.amazon.com/Semantics-Seco.../dp/0230232302
