You need more grip during pressing movements?

By pressing, you mean deadlifting...right?
They make some stuff called liquid chalk but I’ve never used it. I once saw a guy benching with straps. I thought that was funny as hell but I guess he’s probably never dropped a bar on his face. |

No, bench press and military press. I don't wrap my thumb around the bar so when my hands get sweaty I need a little extra "friction".

They don't call that the suicide grip for nothing.
1. Grip the bar correctly 2. Get chalk for pulling movements if required (you'll just have to deal with the mess unfortunately). |

Namely your neck. OP seems to know better though.  The WORST Bench Press Fail -- EVER I'm all about taking risks, but sometimes the risk/reward ratio is just too skewed. |

Check out bear komplex grips if you can get past the CrossFit advertising lol. I wouldn’t have bought a pair but a buddy ordered me a pair. I can’t pass them up for free.I don’t use them a lot unless I’m on heavy sets or really sweaty and they definitely help. They’ve held up nicely the past 6 months. I’ll buy another pair when they wear out.

I used to bench with a thumbless grip because some dunce of a 95lb female pe teacher insisted it was correct way back when. When I started making my run at benching 4 plates for the first time I switched to a proper grip because I didn't want to feel my ribs puncturing my organs. Holding the bar with a fist is not only safer but it is a stronger position to press with. If you are over engaging your delts it isn't just due to your grip. Your form needs work. Chances are you aren't properly tucking your elbows, that you are touching too high, and/or not pressing from a propper pause/touch(rapidly switching from descent to ascent tends to engage the front delts).
But yeah, liquid chalk would probably be a good answer to your specific question. |

Hell, I make more of a mess making dinner. |

is OP serious?
No gloves. Get chalk or liquid chalk if your gym doesn't dry chalk. Wrap you thumbs around the bar or someday you will pay the price. |

Squeezing the bar tightly is part of proper bench technique. The suicide grip is retarded.
