Thick Bar Training

[Guest gripmaster316]

I am just curious how many times a week people train thick bar. Is there a general rule not to train it everyday?

Nik, I replaced my 1" bar with a 2" bar and did all my normal excercises (except Squats) w/ my thick bar. I work out 3 days a week, so i did the thickbar 3 days a week and then other grip stuff on odd days.

I use the thick bar no more than twice a week. My primary focus on a thick bar includes deadlifts and clean and press. In the past I've used it up to three times a week and for me that was too often! I think it all depends on the movement and the weights being used though. I do think less is better in this particular case

Thick bar (2.5 and 2.0) wrist curls 3x a week, no TB deadlifting at all thought.
