Not a pro here, but my personal problem was that my grip isn't strong enough.
I can lift the weight with my back no prob but my grip always gives way before I can slowly lower the bar.
In your case it could be a need for straps but in my case I just need to increase my grip strength.
but how to increas grip strength?

Straps r not ideal for beginners. Unless u r deadlfiting weghts 1.5x body weight or more u should not rely on straps. As u lift heavier, your grip will improve as well.
oic. thanks for d info. im not that pro yet. im lifting maybe 1.05x only.

You are deadlifting on deadlift rack? Aren't deadlift should start from the floor? These are some advices from my current experience.
1. switch your deadlift grip. It is recommended for you to do double underhand for the first few set and the last set, switch it into underhand + overhand grip.
2. My grip for max effort deadlift (1x5) is underhand + overhand but I always do dynamic deadlift 80% 5x5 on another day with my underhand grip. I named this method as grip explosive deadlift (train my grip, aim for explosiveness).
3. Use strap but I wouldn't recommend it as it will train your grip less. If you are aiming for a PR, then it is ok. But somehow you must train your grip onw way or another.
the gym doesnt spacious enough. but the rack is very low and it was like no different from the floor.
thanks for the info and frankly speaking i dont like to wear gloves or straps as well. but no choice, too pain when lifting such weight..
