HA!! Snapper! well, whatever it is she’s starring at she should keep it up…no problems benching for her at all:) i’d stare at some …well maybe i wouldn’t.
i tried the glute ham raise setup, and it was awkward as all get out and kinda hurt my wrist a bit–i dunno what that’s all about. i’ve been having a weird left wrist from this 160 pound German Shepard we’ve had in ICU for the last month who is down in the hind. so i get to sling walk him. For some reason the angle i get under his belly pissed off my wrist after one attempt and now its just flaring up here and there.
I know i’m totally doing it all cockeyed too–the GHR’s. hmm. well i need to film it and see i guess. i felt it for sure, and now a couple hours later I am starting to feel it more–awesome! i just need to tinker to get the most out of it.
i did some other things too, nothing of real consequence.
Brutus, I thought you ditched those gloves a long time ago. Naughty girl.
PMPM: Do you see any benefits to wrist wraps other than helping eliminate wrist pain? Robb tried to get me to wear them a long time ago but I resisted.
i like my gloves! I can go without them, but I do prefer to wear em. My hands are just very susectable to being raw from lots of washing…i’ll look into the wraps though.

If you’ve seen me squat, you know I carry the bar pretty low on my back. Wrist wraps allow me to do that without pain, I literally cannot hold more than 300 lbs that low without wrist pain, and then there’s no way I could bench after squatting without wrist wraps.
So yeah, for me, it’s all about pain avoidance. I definitely don’t get any pop out of them, they just let me concentrate on the movement rather than pain.
You can use wrist wraps to cast your wrists to assist your grip while deadlifting, but I only do that for heavy DB rows as I’ve never lost a lift to grip.

some nice ones that i’m proud of as in to chest and half speed 115x2, 120x2, 125
its going to be a long haul, but i think just getting my hand positioning, just time doing it will get me familiar and then hopefully i can push forth. i’m still so foreign to the movement–compared to other things–and i am fairly suremy way of doing them although fairly successful is not by the book.
half the time i do different things each set when i bench, trying to tinker on purpose or just forgetfully and unintentionally. no set in stone format that i’ve found yet. i hope lots of practice will change this. for f$cks sake it has to!
krocs 60’s x20r, 14 left, rows 65x8x3 sets
db benching 35’s x20,40x8,35’s x11, 40x5 , i had to do these one side at a time, weakness today. then 35’s x12
db/kb things 45’s x7/arm, 40’s x10/arm
body wt rows -total of about 15
then some stuff i never do. pully stuff
some sets of tricep press downs, some straight arm lat things.
oh, and some decline benching–why is that so much easier? is it less of a distance i guess? bleh.i’m too sleep deprived to comprehend even small wonders this month. anyways, 95x8x5 sets
today

front squats 135x10,145x9, 155x7, 135x8x2 sets
funky ghr’s 5x8 i tried various setups to see if i can figure out a more sufficient replacement for not having a designated ghr thing. i think its all in the lowering part of the movement? hmm.
well, whatever it is she’s starring at she should keep it up…no problems benching for her at all:) i’d stare at some …well maybe i wouldn’t.
