Used to do them lots and needed to get back at them. Good for the mitts too.

I think these are one of the best things for support grip. That said my hands and flexors are sure cooked today.

Week 2 bench. Big caloric deficit. Haven't really felt like eating much. Oh, and wicked DOMS from Tuesday's squats and GM's.

Felt really weak to start but as I kept going muscle memory started to come back and the reps became much easier.

Playing with axle deads. I think I'll throw them in every other week to see how they go and at least they're close enough to my regular pulls (within 15% or so) they should be transferable.

Great pulling dude. What can you do double overhand?

Thanks man. I'm not sure. I haven't really done much with an axle in a few years.

I just do them with the Euro before it's loaded up with a pause at the top. Mainly part of my warm-up.

Week 4 squat. Not having a good training day. Not nourished properly and we babysat the Grandgoober last night and today. I think he's slept for about 2 hours in that time. 
 
Got going but everything was feeling heavy so I did a deload rep/weight scheme on the 2HP (Jay had the grip seminar, grip together yesterday) and couldn't be bothered with more than a couple squat sets. I'll try again tomorrow.
