Well if your grip is the weak link then yes chalk will help you out. What are you doing for your grip to strengthen it. A simple thing to do is on your last several reps of deads is to static hold the weight at the top. Its something I've been doing for awhile and it seems to really help and doesn't take anything special to do since you already have the bar set up.
Is there any other weak spots as well?
Honestly, nothing. And to even seem like more of an ass, I had a COC #1 and #2 buried in boxes that I just went through today in my bedroom lol I will definitely incorporate some type of grip training. Towel rolling, COC, and your suggestion is great too, thanks!
I really don't think I have any other weak spots in the dead right now. I'm good out of the gate, it comes up nice, and either due to sweat or weak grip or a combination of both, the bar starts slipping in my hands and I can feel it. Always happens about 5 sets into it too. I might take a couple weeks off from deads, focus on grip work and come back to deads with a block of chalk. Anyway, thanks for reading and offering your help, much appreciated.
