Should a novice building his deadlift do so as well?

I look at it as training economy vs. my ideal results. They don’t always match up.
If you use straps and then do separate grip work, you’ve worked both your back/deadlift harder and grip harder at the expense of 5 minutes or whatever extra time it took to do both.
fwiw I’ve never done direct grip work. I’ll give farmers a try tomorrow though

No idea. I can only say what works for me. However, when I train novices, I have them use straps.
But if the goal is to build the deadlift, I would rarely deadlift. I find mat pulls and safety squat bar squats more effective.
Ultimately, a beginner should do whatever makes them bigger and stronger.

What you’re proposing is very interesting. It also makes perfect sense.
Plan:
*Use straps on all pulling work including deads (3 days a week fullbody)
*Farmers walks for general strength endurance and conditioning (2 days a week, between lifting day)
*Get the grippers
