Hello Community.

currently i'm stagnated at 90kg deadlift. I'm going twice the week to the gym.

My main issue is that the grip is difficult and shortly after that i'm not able to hold the bar.

I'm wearing gloves because after at some point the hand inside skin got so open that on the next train it began to hurt, so that I'm not able to do the workout clean.

Should i focus to do some training for the hand or try it without gloves so that the hands get trained?

The difference between grips and gloves is that usually because of sweat, looseness or whatever, gloves tend to slip. Grips don't, and at most they'll do a wrinkle which sometimes I feel it improves my grip.

The insides are still protected, with a rugged surface maybe, but still better than barehand.
