Kluv#0 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 PR for me on the Thumbless axle. I have trained very smart after my latest back injury in January- I thought I was done ever using this great piece of equipment. I know its not WC like Adam Glass and other beasts but still very proud of this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Thanks Joe! I was pleased how I felt afterwards, too I mentioned to CEO Mike that I was going to do rows today but after seeing Tanner’s amazing rows I figured better not and do something else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shal9097 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nice lift man. My lifting coach always told me to try to make my shoulder blades touch when I was deadlifting to keep my back in the right position and prevent injury. He said to pretend you were holding an orange with your shoulder blades. I’m hoping to get an axle this winter if Santa doesn’t throw too much of a fit lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 @Kluv#0Great thumbless pull! I also really like how you did a with thumb lift after the thumbless! I did my first axle workout in years last week after watching this video and one of Adam Glass's recent thumbless axle videos. I like how thumbless feels. Do you know your thumbless to with thumb ratio on 2" axle? I think Adam mentioned that his was about 80%, but he was working on going closer to 100%. My ratio is at 93% on my baseline max tests. I rested a week between with thumb and thumbless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be an AARP thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonD Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nice lifts! I haven’t done thumbless since the end of last year, but then there was almost no difference for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
