Mr. Chaos

On my wendler program, the last lift of the day in each week three is a max effort.

This is my second week 3. On deadlifts, I've been exceeding the rep range. Last week was 12 reps (1-5 is good), this week I got 8, but my grip failed (think I had 12 reps that day).

Should I, uh, add straps for that set?

I've always felt you needed to lift the weight to say you lifted the weight. I don't use straps or belts, but the weight's enough for me where the grip failed. I also have broken finger on each hand in the last year (7 weeks ago on left hand).

I will follow your advice to the letter.

Stop exceeding the rep range if you're following a program, use chalk or liquid chalk if your gym bitches. A belt is fine with heavy singles to triples. I used my belt Friday for 5x5 deadlifts.
What grip do you use? If your grip is failing, I would absolutely not use straps, start doing static holds at the end of your workout.

I can usually do about 15. I do them weighted right now for sets of 5 with 25 lbs.

I'm not exceeding - it's a "max rep" effort, the 1-5 is just where they "expect" you to be, based on the weights you're using. It's been right for the squat and bench, but I'm doing well with the DL.

I'm using a hex bar just to be a bit safer. Regular grip.
