But I do agree with you on the handling of this one time, if you catch my drift. I should have mentioned that becasue he already knew he was having trouble. So to "gut it out" based on that when you're going for PR's...yeah, not such a good idea. But that doesn't mean you need to abandon the whole concept.
The way I see it he missed one lift but he has a good grip. One thing to learn, I think is to know when to switch, though. I would have probably had already switched sooner and wouldn't have done the 515 over-over. Like Kane was saying you don't wait till you fail you want to anticipate (he was talking about straps but it's similar). Rob said he was already having trouble with his grip. So, yeah, I agree, if you are having a bad grip day don't gut it out too much with over-over. That is not my point at all. I'm just saying not to suddenly change plans becasue of the one bad day....just anticipate it more. Shit happens
That's one thing I might have missed though in the whole conversation. Sometimes when you are doing the over-over, working up weights, the grip can go south kinda suddenly. It's not like you're straining the whole time. It just sneaks up on you. So then you swith grips and hopefully you're fine.
But most of the time you have some warning and you need to switch before you almost drop the bar. Actually, anuj is a good example becasue I've had trouble with getting him to switch when needed rather "gutting it out" and practically dropping the bar.....
We have to pay attention and use common sense. Do you kinda notice that there is always value in both opinions?
Does this make more sense, 0311, becasue I feel like you thought I was saying use the over-over until your fingers fall off
Trust me, if I had been standing there next to him, he would have hit that PR!
