Im building up my double overhand deads now. Used my lower back issue as an opportunity to switch to double overhand since I had to lower the weight anywayTotally lost track of how difficult overhand grip is on deadlifts compared to alternating
It’s weird but I can only do overhand. I could never get comfortable w mixed grip. Never feels balanced to me.Totally lost track of how difficult overhand grip is on deadlifts compared to alternating

Let day.
I did the same but I’ve been using Versa Grips for a while. Tried to pull a warm up sets and it plain hurt. I’ll be doing that going forward to get my Grip right.
I did pull a few mixed Grip and could do more weight so I don’t feel as bad.
My grip is so fukking trash brehs. I think I might be too dependent on straps. I need to find something I can do like 5-10 minutes a day to build my shyt up.

What would be the outline?
If I'm looking to drop weight but keep a good frame so I'm not "skinnyfat" when the lbs come off, should I look to lift "heavy" with maily compund exercises?
Generally speaking yes but if you don’t already have muscle mass then it’s another matter. Not saying you don’t.
Basically stronglifts 4 Days a week with 3x5 on the lifts. Then cardio the other days
Whatever you did in the gym to get where you're at, keep doing it. Body comp changes are going to come in the kitchen and through whatever cardio you choose, not how you lift. Only changes to how you lift should be to account for changes in recovery. Last year I dropped about 15-20... only change to my routine was dropping heavy compounds. With the deficit trying to squat/deadlift heavy was too taxing. I actually made gains on all my other lifts over that cut and came back skrawng as hell on my heavy compounds when I started up again

Thanks for the advice.
This is the thing for me as well. Deadlifts and Squats on a calorie deficit leave me yawning at work the next day. I still plan on doing them as they help keep an "athletic frame" even while dropping pounds.
I already have a pretty "strong frame" and good build. Also, I put on muscle quite quickly, so what I need to do is cut down a lot of my top layer/visible fat.
I'll still keep lifting heavy, putting work in the kitchen and playing soccer. I'll reevaluate in the next 20 lbs.
