^^i used to do that when i had a fracture on my finger along with 8 stitches last year. took a LONG while to get my grip back. its still weak. thats why i do deads with an over-under grip. my left grip sucks. also why i avoid doing dumbbell curls. makes me wanna give up fast. bb curls makes me wanna stick it out more. its all psychological
oh, and sorry to hijack the thread.
and awesome progress TALO. keep it up.
