Yeeeah I guess I have decent gripping strength probably from cutting sheet metal for countless hours some days with the tin snips! That is a serious forearm workout !! Keep practicing deads with no grips and your grip will drastically increase. What do you use supinating grip or both over hand?
And try chalk the bar just sticks to your hand if you use chalk

I train in Japan so I don't use chalk... But I use a double over hand grip. (I use it in progression to my cleans). I used to do a over under grip but the under hand grip hand would always get in the way of the knee.
