nice workout brat

Great job on the sumo deads and the barbell rows. Impressive weights, brat! My grip sucks too. I have grown to love my lifting hooks.

 

[Brat]

My callouses start to hurt, too...and that's just not fun...I wanted to do another set of DB one-arm rows and a coupla sets of upright rows, my hands were just too raw...lifting gloves are back in MI...blah.

Thanks guys!

I don't think the gym I'm at would be happy if I used chalk...

Oh, I hear you on that. The gym where I workout at doesn't allow chalk either. It sucks.

Very nice work on the deads Brat. What I suggest doing is completing your back workout, then go over and grab some of the 60-70lb dumbells and hold them for as long as you can for 2-3 sets and increase the weight each week as your grip gets stronger. I've been doing this for a while and now I rarely use straps even when pulling heavy.

Thanks for the suggestion, JT...

I must say, I was doing some close-grip BB curls this morning, and damn did my arms look nice...haha...

That is the problem I have. It is my hands(callouses and broken bone in my finger) more than grip strength that won't allow me to hold any amount of heavy weight for reps. I HATE it!

Cardio is okay...I need to get my ass OUTSIDE and run though...I feel thinner though...I hate my workshirt because it actually fits!! And until I find a all-black fleece/windbreaker, I can't wear anything over it...I'm freezing my ass off at work!!

 

[tman55]

i am very impressed with your strength.

Good workout Brat. I wish I had your kinda determination for cardio, I'd be down in the single digits
