Not sure if this is my grip that is causing it, or just me being a panzy about it, but im finally deadlifting above 300lbs (Flame away, but its my PR for now), and noticing when im going for reps, a good amount of the skin on the first and second joint of my fingers gets pinched to the point where it turns pale white and gets really painful once I finish the set and notice it.
thinking this could be bad in the long run, or potentially cause grip/pain problems and cause my form to suffer in the short run too.
any advice? Do i dare look into gloves, or would chalk be a viable option?
but seriously, i had the same thing with pinching my fingers because I was gripping the bar too much in my hand. it kind of is obvious not to do that once it is pointed out… or not. i need to remember this with pull ups, too (and i’m not even that fat, i swears).
