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?

Don't put the bar fully into your hand. Put it flat against the base of your fingers. This removes callous buildup which can become teared off while lifting. Do mixed grip, but only on sets that are so heavy that your hands are the weakest link. On 50kg for example, use normal grip. Over time your fingers will become stronger.
