    Default Grip Failure in Deadlift

    Coach Ripp,

    I've been feeling the grip coming close in the last couple of DL workouts and it finally failed today. I was working with 390 and dropped it on rep 4; I reset with an alternate grip and completed reps 4 and 5. Is there anything I can do specifically for the grip or should I continue working like I did today and wait for the grip strength to come around?

    Failure was in my left (non-dominant) hand and I switched it to supine for the last 2 reps.

    I think you got some pretty damn good grip work today. You're doing it correctly.
