You already pm'd me but as I said before...it wasn't a shitty workout. It is what it is. Just because something doesn't live up to your expectations doesn't mean as much as what happens from doing it. And it the rack pulls from such a height seemed harder than expected maybe there was a reason for that. So hopefully something positive will come. But you just did snatch grip which is just about as demanding as it gets so all bets are off. That was the first and prioritized movement.

What happened to me a while back as a was changing my philosophy and outlook I stopped worrying about some perfect rep and weight formula. I stopped trying to predict how much exactly I should be doing with a new and unfamiliar variation. I give myself time to feel it out. Usually one workout and you can hone in on where you are pretty well. It would have been perfectly ok for you to work it up with easy doubles, or whatever, keeping moderation in mind, to see where your cababilities lay. And then you can look at whatever you did and get an idea of what you want to do or should be doing.

So just free youself up a little and play around with things. No, I am not talking about a "feel" experience, Sleeper style, nor am I saying "find your max". I am talking about trying to get a more realistic frame of where you are at rather than base it on assumption or expectations. You are going to come up with a plan but you also have to think on your feet, as I know I've preached before.

Your grip work sucks. Forarm curls are way down the list when it comes to grip work. It's like you are doing exercise number 7 and 8 before numbers 1 through 4....

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
