This some pretty solid work in here (for a Cowboys fan).

How do you find your forearm recovery? I have FatGripz and I can use them on a limited basis otherwise I’m into some serious brachio/elbow issues.[/quote]

Past two weeks they stay sore, however not like a tendonitis issue. I honestly think this may HELP my tendonitis issue, my grip and forearms are weak. So the elbow was and has been taking a beating due to this, if that makes sense.

This is not a lot of rotation exercise, its more static grip and pinch.

I thought my grip is getting better but the DL really shows that this is my serious weakness, weight is not a problem for the actual DL.

684

My fucking thumbs are killing me, I think the Fat Gripz are stretching out some ligaments and tendons. Good think I guess to help with grip strength but fuck weird type of pain.

685

lol. You should make it more confusing by having two different pics on your two different log ins. It will be really interesting to see what happens with your grip/forarm development over time with these workouts.

I thought about it I have one with my body and my Dogs head :).

Yea DJS, my forearms and grip have always needed work, but like most people with a weakness we dont really concentrate on it like we are supposed to. I really think this was a good time to do this.

Very nice work Pal! My 11 year old is doing a “good fight Gone Bad” comp Saturday.
I’m sure your grip will catch up.

So, is it Derek542 or DJHT? I’m confused…

Nice work either way. How are the thumbs doing? Good thing you don’t need them for beating off, that would really suck!

690

How are the axel DL’s?? This would crush my weak grip into oblivion lol

Starts out okay, you get to right above the knees then your thumbs start to slip. Serious pinch strength to lock it out.

Its very humbling.

693

You used to do a lot fatbar stuff has it translated into a better grip for the axle DL?

I never did DL with them, only press bench and milli and some curls.

Whole other ball game doing pulls.

Yes me on left.

If they have fat gripz or 2 inch bars. Just put 185 on there and DL it a few time.

I want others to really appreciate my pain.
