I know exactly what you mean mate, my grip gives up before my back and ussually rips the callus's of my palms which is annoying. As far as I'm aware there is no quick fix, I'm not a fan of straps or gloves, I think ur better to just persevere and toughen the callus's.

You could experiment with different bars, at my gym we have numerous bars but 1 in particular has a better grip than the others.

Sorry, not a helpful post, more of a show of empathy. I'm picking the shredded skin f my palms as we speak
