Tuesday - 3/13

530AM

Combine - Trap Bar Deadlifts, Trap Bar Romanian DL's and Shrugs w/ Apollon's Axle (Overhand grip, 213lbs) - Sets of 20 each movement. 3 laps, Quick pace

Grip Training

This is the start of Week 3 of plate pinch assault. Groove is finally getting established. Must avoid tearing thumbs to shreds, and concentrate on active recovery.
When this over I'm buying a bottle of Jack Daniels, eating an enormous steak, and retiring from grip. ;)

Left thumb is healed but there is a divot where the callous was. So taped it up. No sense in de-gloving and halting progress.

2 Hand Pinch with 2x45Yorks + weight - 5 sets of 2. 1 set of 3. Concentrate on form and speed off floor. Heavy enough to "feed" not balls to the wall. Left forearm "tweak" makes itself known here.

RIGHT - 2x45 Plate pinch deadlifts - Left Index Finger Tap Assist - 3 singles with +2.5lbs Platemates, 1 single with 3-1/8lbs Platemates. Good control.

LEFT - 4 sets of dynamic thumb with #5 Tug

2 Hand 2x45 Plate Pinch Overcrush - 2 singles. Plates refuse to dent.

Wrist curl extensions - lotta reps.

Time to eat.
