Every height has good attributes that can be taken advantage of so don't let sway you into thinking you're less well off. I'm 6'3" and the mechanics & levers are workable but are harder to understand the exact science of why I can't isolate glutes or hammies as well as a shorty can. I lift with many manlets and feel they have an advantage over me while deadlifting. I know a lot of people like to use the "captains of crunch" springs for grip strength, but it is illogical to buy one and keep progressing and have to buy more over time. Grip is something that can easily be worked while at home while reading or watching a movie. I do burn outs while pinching a plate https://pic8.co/sh/FtRVmw.jpg between my fingers and thumbs. Start with heaviest plate you can handle for as long as possible and drop to a smaller plate and repeat. These could be done at the gym but are time consuming if you can hold them for a while. Walking while pinching plates will help with minor oblique work as well. Especially if you only use one hand at a time. The one I use most for grip is also the best forearm workout. Arnold used it a lot. https://pic8.co/sh/hhCOuR.jpg The important part of this which cannot be seen in the photo, is to roll the bar all the way down to inside of your last knuckle (finger rolls iirc). Roll it back up into your palm and then lift it and hold at top. I prefer lighter weight for sets of 100 because that's what works for me. You have to always keep in mind that what works well for others might not work well for you. If grip is failing specifically during deads, I also suggest hitting your deads at the beginning of your workout. I've adjusted to use deads and overhead press as my warmup 5x a week bc they are total body, but depending what rest of your workout will be, learn to adjust the weight accordingly so you have room in the tank to handle your other pushes or pulls. Before I leave any gym, I do deadhangs to help with back tension and also for grip strength. If you already have pull ups in your routine, towel pull ups or towel deadhangs are great for grip too. Once you progress a bit and discover what works well, you may want to move onto fat gripz. These may be something you'll have to try at the store to see what size you need and they can be purchased cheaper online. They are basically a hard pool noodle that can be wrapped around a bar/dumb bell. Apologies if that was too long. Not too much I get excited about nowadays other than cats and newbs asking for lifting advice. I would like to see a lifting/fitness subverse here one day. Many probably wouldn't care about what I have to say bc I'm not natty, but roids/gear is not magic. I still have to lift hard and put in the work to get where I want to be. I simply recover much faster and can train 4 hours a day without getting tired. Edited for punctuation...
