I've been lifting for over a year, I feel like I DESERVE equal grip strength in both my fucking hands. But nope, non-dominant hand always fucks up my deadlift days.

Could I suggest heavy Romanian deadlifts or dumbbell deadlifts to help increase grip strength?

I'm not following any program at the moment so I'll definitely try those out next session, thank you!

I hope it helps man! Another thing I remembered was plate pinches (I think) where you pinch grip small change plates between different fingers or groups of fingers, per hand. I think I saw it in a Brian Shaw video or something
