Insane forearms. Been watching some of your videos and you have monstrous forearms :)

The wristcurl device with the green foam on it. Where did you get it? It looked wicked.

that is a climber curl from chris rice(climber511 on here)

the nice thing is that it has a slight angle to it that doesn't bother my wrists.

5x3 300# DO conv axle at the gym. felt really strong. I'm half tempted to bump the weight up before the end of the month.

still hitting my tns sets of 10 with the ghp 1 at work. 2-3x10 and 2-3x3 with the fbbc2 smooth. also trying to get in a bunch of rubber band extensor exercises as well. just making a point o have a rubber band in my pocket.

the 153 is a ghp7 I don't think I have gotten it yet lefty. the 166 is an elite which I have closed. the misses were all very close. the plan for next week will be 5x1@ 151 left. 5x1 159 right. no ccs work. need to back off a bit on the grippers.

I am all over the place on 1hp. next week I'll set up at 64mm 75# and pull singles until failure. need to get some real reps in.

this did not feel good at all. been a long time since I've done max deads on an inch handle. it showed.

shallow hub(1/2") 10/15/20/22.5/25/27.5

after the 1hp there were a bunch of attempts made at 2x45. right hand got several good hops. left elbow is inflamed a bit and didn't really feel like I was pulling.

did some ext work and soft tissue work while studying.

Brent, try doing your work sets/volume on 1hp at a 38mm or lower width. I've made great progress starting my pinch workout at extremely thin widths and working my way outward as the weight increases. (a <85 to 102 one hand pinch in 5 months). A lot to be said/speculated about why.... Let me know if you're interested in giving it a shot and ill go into more detail

I am interested in trying this. I have actually spent 2 sesions starting thin and working up and starting thick and working down. there was very little change in my max lift. I'd be interested in trying something new.

did a bit of hangboard work last night. just easing into it.

still hitting my 2-3x10 tns ghp1 sets at work. lots of ext rubber band work as well. elbows are getting a bit tender and I'm trying to hit some extra rev wrist curls at home as well. so far I'm keeping ahead of the aches for the most part. since it's cooled of and things are starting to ache it's pretty common for me to throw on elbow sleeves as soon as I get home if I plan to hit anything in the evening.

2" db rows 5x8 110.

today at work I ended up waiting on people quite a bit. I made an effort to spend that time stretching my lower arm and shoulders, doing teacup drills, and some dislocates with a broomstick. the db rows were super easy tonight. normally the first week with a new weight I have to reset. I had zero resets and very strong fast pulls. I think the soft tissue work made a huge difference. will be trying to add more in.

DO conv axle deads 300 5x3. not easy. I can tell I'm getting close to my deload. also, I tripped going up the back stairs and sliced my thumb open. hoping that gets better by gripmas.

thanks. I've already had my skin split 2x this winter and it's barely started.

Is it dry cracking? My thumbs do that in the fall and winter time. Especially if I train with chalk, that dries it out much faster!

with all the hand washing, glove work, and chalk it's very dry. I just have to be a bit more careful.
