My big set was fairly easy. I could have gotten another rep but I went with the "one in the tank" theory. I also held back a little bit in the 5x10 to hopefully keep my bcak in 1 piece for squats.

Thoughts

Well grip training the day after deads may not be the best but I really didn't want to do it *before* deads ... so I may just have to put up with the lack of performance on wednesdays.

HIThopper 10-19-2011 06:23 PM

Grip day?

Why? do you have trouble holding onto your pulls?

iron_worker 10-20-2011 06:39 AM

It's functional strength. That's sort of what my program is based around. That's why all my lifts are completely raw.

I don't lift to compete. I lift to stay in shape and be strong in every day life.

Well we decided to do a "fvck" all day. We both hit some good numbers and I've been sick all week so enough is enough.

Considering I was sick all week (and still am) I still did pretty good.

You seem to get sick alot dub, is everything ok or are you Vegan? ; - )

BTW your militaries are nice, good work

iron_worker 10-24-2011 08:50 AM

Definitely not a vegan. Would be tough to get to 205lb as a vegan I think... lol

Well I am trying to power through this sickness. It didn't last too long and I'm getting through the last bit of it now.

Military is definitely my best lift. Although I'm not sure why! lol

Well I decided to give grip work a go on monday and see how my DL reacts tomorrow... we shall see.

I think I finally got a close with the left on the #2 ... It's hard to tell when your hand is shaking so bad... It was really damn close if it wasn't.

Also a bit tough to get pumped up at work ... lol yes I bring my CoCs to work.

I made a little bit of progress so that is good!
