Raped Ape, sometimes I do that between sets to stretch them it takes a little moving around to find your sweet spot when you feel the area you want to stretch.
Sweet spot is a good way to describe it, that's what I was trying to convey. I don't bother with it anymore, because I don't care enough, and my gym time is often limited.
Couple deadlift questions. As posted, I'm doing a 10 week program. For trap bar deadlifts, my grip gives out after 4-5 on anything over 275. Obviously, I can't mitigate it with an over under grip with this bar. I know you hate straps, so what do you think - don't increase the weight until my grip catches up, or use no wraps to that point, but add them when the weight jumps up. My goal is to get to around 400+ for about 5 reps by the end of it.
Also, for regular DLs do you have your hands inside your legs. or a narrower stance outside? Right now I'm doing sumo so it doesn't matter, but when I switch back, I want to know if there's a right/wrong way.
