Interesting session today.  I haven't bent reverse in awhile, so wasn't expecting much.  But the easy Grade 2s felt even easier than before, so I went right to a 17/64 bar.  When I hit it, it felt like my wrist was going to snap, but I kept on it for a few seconds and got decent movement.  (The 17/64 stock I have is tougher than normal.)  The LP00 was rough too.  Haven't tried one of these in awhile and was like trying to move a house.  Kept blasting through the kink and finally got decent movement but ran out of steam on the crush.

I tried some things I haven't done in a long time today.  The Flask felt pretty decent on my reps but got heavy really fast.  Same thing with the Pinch Block.  I'd like to work some of these things back into the routine and might try to start-up a designated grip day again every other week.

I have purposely stopped double-overhand bending the past several months, just to give myself some time to recover/heal long-standing issues with my shoulder, elbow and neck.  Although still present, most of these things have steadily improved with the absence of DO bending, unfortunately.  So, I really haven't' had any desire to push it again with double-over.  Today was the first attempt at a double-over bend in months.  I finished the (hard) 17/64 x 7" bar from my reverse attempt.  Flexibility felt way off, but the bend itself felt OK.
