Bought a Rolling Thunder from Ironmind

I brought it to the gym today since I don't have a whole lot of weights at the house yet. Managed to get a whopping 125lbs off the floor.

The record for WOMEN is 142lbs. Even though it's Becca Swanson, I'm still humiliated. I REALLY need to stay more focused on my grip training.

Good work I need to order one of those. Don't worry about losing to Becca many a man has.

Do you have any hex shaped db's at your gym? If so try using those to stregthen your grip. What you would do is grap the weight in your hand and not the handle and hold for time. This has really helped my grip. When I was training the RT alot I managed to get 240lbs

How much did that set ya back?

I have mine almost done. They are somewhat easy to make.

Do you realise that puts you *ahead* of the U.S national record (2003)?

static holds are what helped my grip the best. or grab 2 plates, whichever weight you can use, and pinch them together with one hand and hold em for as long as you can.
