Paul’s a good guy. I think we all agree. :grin:

My lawn tractor is out of commission. So I push mowed forever this morning. Then I worked in the garden for hours. So legs were not happening.

Watched a YouTube video with Odd Haugen grip training. He’s 73 with one of the best grip strengths in the world. Makes me want to start training grip.

Maybe check out “Molding a Mighty Grip” by George F. Jouett on Amazon. That guy cleaned and pressed an anvil with one hand. I think his Mighty Series of books is free online.

I think BW squats are under rated in the punishment category!
