Whenever I'm deadlifting and have to concentrate more on hanging on to the bar as to not drop the bar, rather than concentrating on proper form as to not to hurt myself; I can only believe this is not a good idea. I only do double overhand grip because I don't want issues with twisting or bicep problems. I do my warmup sets without straps, but then use straps for working sets of 315 lbs x 5, which is not bad for a 6' 2", 180 lb dude at 60 years of age who only started deadlifting last year. After my deadlifts, I do several 2 minute dead hangs, wrist curls, farmer carries, etc. I do the grippers when I get home. Seems like the message in this video is to do deadlifts to strengthen grip. Sorry, I would rather do deadlifts to strengthen my back, glutes, and hamstrings; and do other things to strengthen my grip.
Deadlifts do not improve grip strength. That’s “ starting strength “ malarkey. Heavy farmers walks have done wonders with my grip strength. Arms are vascular.
What's interesting about your comment is that World Strongest Man Brian Shaw recently said heavy farmers walks is one of his top 5 strength training excercises. I'm into arm wrestling, so I'm going to start doing these.
I honestly politely disagree with your comment that deadlifts don't build grip strength. I switched to hook grip in 2001 but often used a 32 mm York barbell because that was the only one available. However, chins and barbell rows also contributed the stimulus to grow my forearm and grip strength. I was in good company with these techniques as 3 of my friends proved these exercises worked and all of us except for 1 were lifetime natural. We did some bicep work but nothing specific to grip strength.

You 60 and you pulling 315, I don't think you need any grip strength training you already a strong grandpa😅
Peter Attia. Ye, please have him on and ask him why he’s advocating functional type “exercises” like lounges vs deadlifts etc
“ lounges” 😂😂
Goto arm assassin strength shop, and start training grip. It's the best
Hey, what do you think of Versey grips any good?
Versa grips are good. I use them occasionally. Dr. Mike likes them a lot.
Dr. Anthony Chaffee or Dr. Shawn Baker would be great guests.
