Kluv#0 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Working hard on bringing up my left hand in all areas of grip. Try doing this with Oly DB handle with off-hand, no straps, no hook grip, no gloves, knee on bench and weigh plates at end. I could care less what you can do on thicker handle as this is about Oly DB handle:) BWT 226lb. I know Eric R. and Joe can do this with off-hand not sure who else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will definitely bring up the off hand. Extra sets of these!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks Joe! My pull-up festival has helped on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm about 5 reps off I think. Most I've done at that weight is 7 or 8 reps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very good for off-hand. Many get caught up in various implements but I like sledgework, suitcase DL, DB rows, pullups, BWT hangs,etc as the foundation of grip strength.

Funny thing is, with grip I don't really have an "off-hand". For this lift however, it's more about back strength for me and in that case my left side is weaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My left is so far behind my right in every lift except sledge work. Broken it 2x plus many dislocations of finger/thumbs due to youth craziness. On the DB rows, I position the handle middle of fingers which works them just as much as my back, if not more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm mediocre at best with both instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceversus Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Impressive. Solid form on those rows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I have always been strong with my right(dominant) but my left is slowly getting respectable on these rows- I still do 2-1 ratio sets to offset. One of the unexpected results of my June pullup challenge, my rows(which I had only worked 2-3 all month and lightly prior 3 months) were stronger.
