      Grip in my right hand is not as good as my left. It is the hand that starts to go first. Today while deadlifting I had none after 405. Its heavy singles at a deficit and normally I’d be fine but for whatever reason I couldn’t break the floor without my grip giving. Its never happened like that before. Is it just some days are worse than others?

      Yes and no. Could be a some day thing or could be a weakness.

      Is the right hand your “over” hand or your “under” hand?

      its my under hand. I’ve been toying with the idea of hook grip but I got tiny sausage fingers and can only get 2 fingers over the thumb

      Try twisting right before the pull.

      Motorcycle grip:
      Twist throttle: knuckles to ceiling on Up hand, Knuckles to floor on down hand.
