Week 5. Not bad and feeling good for week 7. Switched my grip on the last set and niggled my wrist a bit. They each need proper warm-ups to supinate properly. Also need to shave down my callouses as I see a wreck coming.

Working at keeping my shins more perpendicular. We'll see.

July 23, 2015
Before Supper

Week 4. Bought some leggings. I know, I know but I wanted to see if I could wear them and get away from using talc for deadlifting. They work great! Plus I feel like I'm wandering around the basement nekkid so that's another plus.

Just making a note of no straps being used as I consider this a second grip day in the week.

Deadlift Testicles and Picking up and Moving other Stuff

May 7, 2012
Before Supper

Well I'm having myself about 350 grams of nice sirloin and about 2 cups of green beans after tonight's workout. Got my stinkin' 550# pull before my 40th and I think I'm going to be good for 560-565 in 2 weeks when I go for the main PR of this cycle. Very happy to be moving towards 600#'s now.

Well a few things. Tonight I decided to keep working up with some reps in the 90-95% range for my squat and they were all pretty easy. The thing that isn't easy is how much hair and crap gets ripped out from the wraps and the pinching. I'm going to look at some other peoples workouts and just see how many sets they're doing while wrapped because I think between 3-5 reps at this range is good enough to keep strength gains going. That final cool down set isn't bad strength wise but I'm just getting tuckered. I know I'm a pussy.

I ended up using my Climber style 2HP tonight as my thumb webbing peeled back a bit yesterday from the wide pinching. By the end of pinching tonight I couldn't get enough chalk in there to keep from bleeding and ripping so I stopped.

Gave some Dimels a go but my hands were just to fried and tore up from the pinch so I couldn't get the 15-20 reps I wanted and the 2-3 sets. Oh well, I'm still gaining without them now anyways.
