365 lbs conventional deadlift 3rd attempt (got it) 150 lbs BW

using straps on 365 is weak my friend sorry. I'm 174 lbs. and do that weight and i do not use straps or a belt...you should really stop using them and develop grip strength so you don't have to rely on them for low weight such as 365. please don't be offended---this isn't a "hater" comment, but your lift was not overly impressive...sorry.

@nealo786 I would presume you could do 365 lbs given that you weigh 24 lbs more than me. Please do upload videos so we can see what you can do. I USE STRAPS FOR CONVENIENCE NOT BECAUSE I HAVE A WEAK GRIP. IT'S JUST LIKE USING GLOVES TO WORK OUT , CONVENIENCE. I DO GRIP TRAINING WITH COC.

Whats with the straps? Is your grip weak?

[rickalex21]

@pspsp5 I don't consider my grip weak, not too long ago did I change my mentality about straps.. back in the days I use to think straps were for people who had a weak grip now my mentality of how I see straps has really changed. I have noticed that I focus more on my lift when using straps. Also I have not had many clauses from using straps. Anyhow, recently hit this for 8 sets and I was not even pushing myself. I can close number 1 coc with both hands.... but whos counting numbers ....
