How did this work for ya? I’ve been wanting fat gripz for days.[/quote]
Honestly, it was really weird at first. The grip itself is kinda squishy, so it wasn’t a solid feel when you’re holding the bar. BUT, I think that made it a little more difficult, and I think it could only work your grip more. Plus, it’s about 3-4" in diameter before it gets smashed in your hands. Try it, it’s like $1 at the dollar store, cut it to length with a steak knife and slice it down one side.

Let me know how it works out for you.

8/2 C2W1D3 Deadlifts

135x5x2
225x5
265x3
280x5
325x5
365x8 +5#/3rep PR. First five were touch and go, then a single, and double, hands on the bar at all times.

Rack pulls, bottom pin (knee height)
315 +2 doubled mini bands (see following pic) x5x3

Shrugs/BB row superset
315x15/12/10-135x10x3
*These sucked.

Plank 75sec, then dog started licking face. Note to self, don’t walk out of gym to plank on the carpet, or dogs will not leave you alone, lol.

Ran 2 miles, later on. Well, “jogged/walked” 2 miles, if we’re being honest.

This was my rack pull setup with bands.

Lockout…work it

This video might interest you on a way to set up bands for rack pulls.

Thanks man, that’s a different way to do it than I’ve seen before. My issue is that I haven’t bolted down my rack (yet) so until I get around to doing that, I’m stuck using thing that won’t flip the rack over on my head mid-lift. I really need to do that…haha

Yeah, that would be a funny display.

Nova, I agree, haha

Ever have those days when you don’t want to do shit? That’s today.

Managed to get my fat ass dogs out this morning, jogged maaaaybe a half mile before they were completely exhausted, then dragged them home.

10 just because I was pissed I didn’t get more reps the set prior.

Little circuit I had my daughter doing, bw squats and shit x 1

Overall a pretty “meh” session, but that’s alright…squats tomorrow

Are your dogs also powerlifters?

I do curls like, 3x a year and damn did my arms feel it yesterday. Super swole, lol!

Today though, my triceps are smoked. I think the alternating paused rep BBB assistance template thing is something I’m going to continue for a while.

I used to fall in the “curls are worthless” category, but they’ve been a big help in keeping my elbows and forearms from feeling trashed by heavy benching. With that said, my arms are still puny.

This is why I’ve wanted to start tossing in some more biceps work, but only time will tell if they’ll stay in rotation. The Gun Show has been postponed, with an unconfirmed debut date, for now.

LOL

Dude wtf, nice benching.

I love that gif, maybe because I loved watching WVU beat Clemson like a rented mule.
