Thursday - 2/8

6F degrees out. This cold snap has settled right into my fuking lower back.

Trap Bar Deadlifts - 3x50 (These sets in combination with first 3 sets of shrugs)

Shrugs w/ Apollon's Axle - Overhand Grip - 65% day - 213x10, 283-6 sets of 6
Volume bump. If you are just joining in this is an Ironmind Apollon's Axle. There is NO KNURLING. Also click the link on the right for my hand photo, before you start a bellyaching thread about your hand being too small.

Grip Training

Blob50 Deadlifts

Left - 7 sets of 2 attempts. If I was a few inches shorter these would be full deadlifts. Today is garbage day, I'm tempted to toss this fuking thing. ;)

Right - 7 sets of 2 - full deadlifts. Good speed from floor.

Thoughts for the day:

There has always been the debate that "grip" is in its infancy, and "world class" is a moving target. There is constant speculation of "freaks" coming out and destroying what we thought was world class. Now someone comes out and destroys world class in bending, and we are told that world class is defined by what some so called "king" has defined. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are seeing the beginnings of how the ersatz "lore" of Paul Anderson started. Did Paul own cammy pants? ;)
