tearing a bicep must heart like a bytch. don't care if my grip strength makes my deadlift shyt. at least I don't have to worry about tearing a bicep with double overhand grip

The reason this happened is because he used a mixed grip.

Mixed grips are used to help you hold more weight on a deadlift where the limiting factor is your grip strength. Turning one hand in and the other outwards helps you grip better.

Unfortunately, the outward turned arm exposes the bicep to weight it wouldn't otherwise bear, hence the tear. This is usually why folks use straps, or better yet, lower the weight.

Horrible form

I do 5 sets of 10 @315lbs double overhand

I took my time getting to that weight, making sure my form was always correct
