How much weight do I have to deadlift to not look like a weeny for using straps? I could barely even hold onto 295 for 3 reps .

600+ for rep work if you pull hook grip no excuse if you pull mixed.

I was gonna say 600+ for reps and only if the reason for using them is to save your hands and grip is not an issue for you.
Started working on hook grip last week and wouldn't you know, this weekend I got a big shard of glass in my thumb right in the cuticle area.... Still bleeds very easily so no hook grip for a couple days until it stops ripping open

You and RT are more manly than I am. Hook grip hurts too much for me.

haha thanks guys. I've never done any grip other than hook grip, I guess I'll just have to move up in weight slower if I can't hang into it.
I see little girls in videos doing more than me ffs

Don't let them shame you out of mixed grip. It's less manly, but efficient. I've never had grip issues with it.
I can do it. Earlier this year I did a few sets with 500lbs and my thumb hurt for days. I'd like it for the even lat activation, but not worth the pain to me.

Me too! Guess I'm a pussy
To many to quote that say it hurts a little. Try popping Tylenol the day you pull with hook grip.
Or if you're working with a team and everyone is yelling at you to to lock that shit out and music blasting. I guess I don't feel it with hook grip.
I posted I article on Stretching your thumb to be able to get the most contact surface out of your hook grip and it will allow you to get the meaty portion of your thumb on the bar.
