And periodic retesting . It ' s bizarre that you are tested once , and never checked again . <| sep |> Yeah mixed grip is really good for deadlift at a point , I ' m at 230 lb without any form of straps and Im fairly sure I can still pack on up to 300 without them , which I wouldn ' t be capable of without the mixed grip . Any powerlifter will say it ' s mandatory Grips strength will come in time , I ' d also suggest to practice pull ups and dips to develop it . <| sep |> As soon as they announced it this summer it was clear it was going to be a high demand item <| sep |> I work in a kitchen on the holidays .
