Left was giving me trouble on the baby Inch stopping me just shy of lockout for a couple of sets whereas the right was very strong with all lifts. I need to bring my globe circus bell into the basement... without breaking any bones or getting a sprain.

Was getting really dizzy for some reason so I stopped and check my BP. Nope, must be blood sugar or my ear bugging me as it's been ringing all weekend. I'll resume pinch after NN on Tuesday when I do grip again.

Testing how the axle feels again after a few weeks away. Added 5% to my last NN session. I'd say that it's right about there. Taking such small jumps on the bench seems to hurt my max weight potential. I guess I'll have to work on that.

First time trying heavyish pulls since niggling my back. Just the last couple of inches to bring my hips through at the end my back said stop. Dropped to 475 and the same thing happened. I'll revisit in a couple of weeks. DO pulls to 405.
I'm thinking on the NN ladders I'm substantially stronger if I go into them "ratchet" style seeings as I usually finish with my strongest set.

Going to try something different; one week snatch grip and the next conventional and so on. Should help keep my back healthy while getting okay grip work in. I'll stick with a weight and add a set to each session until it's a 5x5 then add weight and repeat.
Had to play around a bit to find a working weight. Using my spinny original Rogue bar.

Had some running around to do yesterday so I couldn't get after my session then. I can still "feel" my low back a bit so I figured I'd just try a different movement today. First time trying zercher squats with the harness. Belly definitely doesn't help me keep air with these.

Decided to weight my 110# dumbbells (not that it matters in the grand scheme) but they came out to 113.3/113.5. Next press session I'll start at 80k and sneak a 82.5k in the middle for my 5 sets. DB Bench felt good except for the first and last sets where the dumbbell wasn't balanced well and they're heavy enough to throw me right off. One more week at this weight wont hurt.
Oh and my hands have a sexy pump.
