Grip issues with deadlifts

[hardestgainer]

Golds got new bars to use and holy crap I almost ripped my hands open with them! I could only do 5 reps aand would have to let go just because the pain in my hands was becoming unbarable. Are there any straps you guys would suggest?

Are the bars not as thick? Thicker? knurl from hell?

You may just try gloves, unless you are really looking to go with straps for another reason.

just get gloves to save your skin.

Get some bar covers that will fit more naturally in your hands and has a profile you have more practice gripping.

the bars seem a lot thinner too now that you mention it. I remember in HS the strength coach had us "desensitize" our hands I never had a problem before after that

Ill either get some glover or maybe some straps too since I know I will eventually need them to hold the weight. My back progresses faster than anything else.
