I found farmers walks helped with grip strength. That and rack pulls, though thats no use to you if you don't have a rack. Having said that my grip is still the weak link in my deadlift

I have been giving this a little thought. You have mentioned wrists and forearms are giving you grief. I’m a little confused why they would be doing dead lifts and now you mention squats. Grip strength is needed for dead lifts and I’m not seeing how wrists are involved. Again, the same with squats. Re. Deadlifts - the thing I always have in my head if that your arms are chains and your hands hooks when lifting. You don’t lift with your arms. If you are lifting with your arms, apart from it being wrong, you are doing something like a mini-row before you actually lift - that’s not good form. I did this in the past but when the weight gets heavy it seems to correct itself - but that may just be me and not work for you.
Has your coach checked your form? -
4x(6x26), 4x(6x28), 4x(6x30), 4x(6x32)
Can somebody explain this notation to me?

I did that today, rest-pause set of 6 weighted squats, 10 second pause, six squats etc.
4x(6x26), 4x(6x28), 4x(6x30), 4x(6x32) IIRC, used the straps on the last one and it was great to shift the load from my forearms to my quads.
Maybe im wrong.... 6 weighted squats pause 6 more pause...
The 4x is a different exercise? or another round?
