You could always hook grip that bad boy, too. Just tape up the thumbs and away you go.
It nicely removes the bicep strain problem.
Can you elaborate on the thumb taping? I’m a hook grip virgin…[/quote]

Start doing farmer’s walks a few times per week, you should notice an improvement in your grip endurance pretty soon.
My school gym doesn’t allow chalk so I use a rosin bag (the kind bowlers use). It gets the job done and is less messy than chalk.

Thanks.
Chalk is an amazing substance I must admit…I only pulled my personal PR when I started using it…it did kinda tear the hell outta my hands, but it was worth it for the PR 
I will never again DL heavy without the stuff…
Also, I do shrugs as heavy as I can with no chalk, no straps, both hands palms facing in. I can’t shrug as much as if I had an alternating grip, but it has evenly strengthened my grip since I started doing it.
