10/25
Workout with Cill.
Cill and I decided we’d had enough pushing for this week, so we did:
21-15-9
Deadlift (135#)
Towel Pullups
10:43
AKA - THE GRIP KILLER!!!
Holy cow, my forearms took about an hour to feel normal again. On the deadlifts I was using a double overhand grip, not the alternating grip, to focus on increasing my grip strength. I did use the hook grip though. I also did the last nine deadlifts in one set—this, combined with the hook grip, resulted in the last set of nine feeling as if I was going to PULL my thumb completely OFF my hand.
