I appreciate the support and encouragement! Its the Motorhead.. Lemmy adds at least a few lbs to every grip lift. Louder the better. Your hard work might have something to do with it too though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Carney Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Pinewood Derby is this Saturday so we worked on finishing touches yesterday. Thankfully my kids are all happy with their cars. We'll see if that still holds true on race day... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Carney Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Baseline assessment today after walking a couple miles. For context: I haven't deadlifted regularly in two years I've never used an axle bar. And...I don't even own an actual axle bar. All I had was this hip thruster bar that doesn't take chalk. Let's just say I have my work cut out for me. That's only 267lb all together. Edited April 19, 2023 by Douglas Carney 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Carney Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 50# Blob by Face (Next Gen) - Grip Feat Attempt 04-21-2023 Lifting half of York 100lb dumbbell by the face (i.e., wide side). Left hand was fully successful. Right hand made an effort but not feeling as strong today.
