Unsure; I have just been holding dumbbells by my side. Needless to say this + SL pull work has improved my grip tremendously.
Plus just realised I get an extra next-to-bodyweight deadlift each set

I've been doing the same -- I like the added grip strength and trapezius loading, and as Jon says, the deadlifting at the start of each set doesn't hurt!
