Week 2. Jacked up my finger tendons trying to get my SBD knee sleeves on. I’ve only wore them 4-6 times and always fight with the left. After 15 minutes of fighting I put my Stoic’s on. Anyone looking for size large SBD knee sleeves let me know. Anyways, no grip stuff today. Also going to start adding some pause squats again.

I don’t doubt you struggle to get on the Large. I normally train in XL and have to get psyched-up to squeeze into my Large.

I bought large.  After a 20 minute struggle to get one on, I cut it off and returned them for XLs.

Yeah, the tendons in my fingers are still jacked up. Need a bigger size someday. Just splurged on a SBD belt. Don’t tell Gail haha!

Stone Futzing. Lifted the D-ball a bunch, had some attempts on the blue marble and got it up to just about the transition point to lap it. Then I lifted my 250 concrete to the chest a few times. Cleaned up. Grabbed my sandbag and took it for a walk. Wow did it feel light after stones. Made me poop a bit on the walk though. I think I’ll add some sand and get it up to around 300#.

Bench Press wu to 132(133k) x 5 x 3r

Pain in the ass in the basement. I’ll pack the dumbbells up to the back door so I can do this outside next time. My grip was getting cooked at this point too.
