I’m not overly strong and I think my grip isn’t great but I can manage 45kg rows. Have you tried the thumb under grip? (That isn’t the correct name for it but I have had 2 hours sleep in the past 2 days and my brain isn’t working).

Google is my friend - the hook grip. It feels odd at first but once you get used to it, it really works. A must for deadlifts until the bar gets really heavy.

First session using wrist-straps today to help when using the 36kg dumbbells for pulls - Romanian Deadlift and single arm row. The selectable weight dumbells are great for storing in the corner, but the grip area is quite short so it's hard (for me, anyway) to get a decent tension on the strap. Still, feels like making progress to be onto the heaviest setting (for pulls, I'm at 26kg on the inclined press so still some headroom there).
