Question: I have 2" axle type loadable dumbbell handles. I'm assuming for Inch style one handed deadlifts it's better to train level than tilted and heavy?

Depends on your goals. I will answer this based on my experience, and based on the answers I got when I asked the same question.

If you just want to get stronger: Level, and I would go with sets of 5 or something like that. 

If you want to tilt lift an Inch replica: A slight tilt is acceptable, but if it's fully tilted it won't translate to the real thing well. Make sure the weights never touch your wrist/forearm, even if you tilt lift.

If you want to level lift an Inch replica: Go for level lifts only, and if tilt lifts happen sometimes; well, it's better than no lift (but it might be a good idea to decrease the weight a few more tries/sets later). I mainly do doubles or singles. 

But 2" and 2 3/8" will feel very different.

That is some crazy volume on pendlay rows, 10 sets of 18 must have had your back bursting out of your T-shirt.

I felt it for sure but the weight was a little bit low for me. That's why I did 180 reps haha.
I'm doing it with my Inch trainer (the shaft is very long), and with the plates I currently own, this is the max I can fit (because I have to leave space for my hands). But I plan to buy bigger plates!

Weighted pushups with pushup stands 20kg/44lb 
- 5x18
- 3x14
- 2x13

Chest crusher max resistance 
- 6x14

Side raises 17.5kg/38.6lb per hand with blue Fat Gripz 
- 6x10
Finally, the (used) dumbbells I bought arrived. Two shafts with stoppers (2x2.5kg/5.5lb)+ 35kg/77.2lb in plates for ~54$ with shipping. Not a bad deal for chrome plates. 
Btw I'm not sure if the Fat Gripz made it more difficult, but why not.

Thanks, Joe.

I'm glad I made this decision about allocating my hands to different types of grip stuff. I can do one-handed thick bar, pinch, grippers, reverse bending/WD2 without trashing my hands completely.

Thanks Wristmaster! It's still strange for me to do a back workout at home because in the gym I always focused on pullups.
I think I will buy more 10kg plates so I can load the dumbbells heavier for rows.
