Haha yeah I bought a 2 ft piece of 1.5"PVC (outside diameter 1.9") and then I used athletic tape to make the 2". It's got a great feel. I use muffler clamps for weight stops I got that idea from Martin. He's got one at his house same length but galvanized steel.

1/2 deloaded all week. Still did a lot of pushups and some RDL's early in the week.
Grippers- Left hand mid knuckle pain that started about a month ago kept me from hitting a strong hand attempt. Did 105# off hand 20 mm and called it.
2HP- started warming up but pain in R hand pointer finger joint near nail bed pain so stopped.
Crusher- wanted to PR and workups felt great. No hand pain on thick bar. Did 75kg then jumped for 82.5 kg (181#ish) and it was glued. Back to the grind. Work to do.

6/25-7/15
Started adding weight on fingerboard hangs. Still working fat grip rows 5/3/1 style and making gains. Added a few mini sessions a week and it has been helping with recovery and leading into my next heavy session. Gave my back a slight tweak 2 weeks ago doing heavy rack pulls and then cheat shrugging (like an idiot I know) I have been sleeping on the floor and it has helped me immensely I highly recommend it even if your back does not bother you. I feel more rested and in my short experience don't even need as much.

7/15- 8/5
5/3/1 on fat grip rows is still moving well on my strong hand but my off hand I lost 2 reps on my amrap attempt this week so I will have to adjust. Started doing rubber band extensors again after taking a lot of time off of them and couldn't even do the Blue band (used to rep for 10 or so) Did a double 45# plate carry on an incline treadmill at 15 degrees and 2.3 mph for 10 minutes with a few breaks and was really breathing and sweating hard. I will continue to experiment with this.

August-2018 
Had some really good sessions 5/3/1 fat grip rows I added 3 lbs and went +4 reps strong hand last week and pushed this week.
Extensor training going well back to 3-4 reps blue band both hands.
Treadmill walk with plates am adding 30 seconds per session until I can go for 10 minutes straight at 15 degree incline 2.3 mph. Going well.
I do pushups all week long with a volume day on Wednesday where I do 500 and am not sore at all on Thursday so work capacity is way up. 
Body weight is 223-225 when I wake up. Lightest I've been in a long time.
