Try to do one over and one under without any hooks. Work on your grip strength. I've done up to 500lbs with this method(I am weight limited at my house).

Sounds like severe finger cramps.
Oh they feel "good" when I am done. My newest battle is the gym i just joined doesnt allow chalk. I do not think most commercial gyms allow it though. I guess I will have to live with a rough grip when I masturbate
Ok. An update from my side. Initially I felt good using mixed grip, weights were up by 30lbs. But today I noticed that whenever I rested the bar on the floor, the bar was displaced 1-2 inches towards the supinated arm! 
This happens only with my right hand supinated...other combination is fine.
Damn, I'm not doing mixed grip - doesn't matter if it means lowering the weight

What about dustless (liquid) chalk? You can get that at any climbing supply store. The biggest difference is you don't create a dusty mess on the floor and in the air. Just wipe the bar down when you're finished your set. Some gyms give that a pass or they just don't know what it is so they don't make a big deal about it.

Hook grip hurts like a mofo. I just use straps for the really heavy lifts.
What? I'm a girl. I can use straps if I want. <sticks tongue out>
Listen, I get compliments on my back all the time - but I've never had anyone holler from across the street: "DAMN, woman. Those are some killer GRIPS you got there!"
My grip IS pretty good - for a girl, lol - but I won't limit my back development by waiting for my grip to catch up. And I'd prefer to not worry about my form in the middle of a very heavy triple, kwim?

I agree about the hook grip. Painful as hell. And I'm a boy and I use straps on heavy pulls. And I think my grip is just fine. You gotta problem with that?(Sticks finger out) I'll get Built to teach you a lesson. Like maybe she'll evaluate your diet and point out all the things you're doing wrong. You think you got problems now...
