Deadlift stagnation at 90kg (lemmy.sikorski.cloud)

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?

As others have mentioned in this post, work on your grip strength.

Something that worked for me is to have a regular deadlift week (DL twice a week) and then the next week I would incorporate some pause deadlifts with less weight on one of my training days.

This helped me improve my grip strength with regular DL’s and it also helped me with those known sticking points when performing DL’s.
