Saturday - 3/24

Went into work at 430AM to kickstart some shit.

Combine - Trap Bar DL's -> Trap Bar Romanian DL's - > Overhand Grip Shrug w/ Apollon's axle (213lbs) - 20 reps each movement. 2 passes.

Grip Training

No tape on left thumb.

2 Hand 2x45York Plate pinch with weight - 6 sets of 2. Concentrate on form and speed off floor. Remember if your pinkys are touching the plates, they should be squeezing as hard as your forefingers. The plates should not "slip" at the start of the pull.

Right - 2x45 Deadlift +left index finger tap + hold at top (couple of seconds) - singles. +1.25lbs, +2.5lbs, +2.5lbs. Good control. Set down without a big thud.

Left Dynamic Thumb with Ironmind Tug #5 - 3 sets

2 Hand 2x45 Plate Pinch Overcrush + weight - Squeeze until tremors start, then some.

Cooldown with towel rollups, light levering, reverse wrist curls.

I noticed "something" when moving the 2 plates around with both hands. ;) The light maybe punching through the tunnel.

I have been sanding and using medicated hand creme on the thumb callouses. I'm too close to let a rip stall things.
