Reeves Deadlift 305lb

Named after 1947 Mr. America & 1950 Mr. Universe Steve Reeves who made these famous. Such a good grip exercise that also builds legs drive and hits the upper back from a different angle. Can be done on a shorter bar or even a Trap/Hex Bar for those with a short wingspan....
Weights 135lb, 225lb, 275lb then 3 misses with 325lb and then a miss and a lift with 305lb. Oddly, it felt like I just couldn't get the leg drive going more than it being a grip issue.....Maybe, I'm just simply out of practice??
