Because you're hand is more fatigued from holding 365 lbs than it is from doing pull-ups or rows, I would think.

There's nothing wrong with it. It shouldn't be your most aggressive training thats all. It becomes counter productive because if you've ever spoken to guys who've closed the CoC #3 (I've met a few but I've never met someone with a CoC #4) you'll know that the muscles in your hand are the easiest to get overworked so you don't push it. I'm pretty sure I've heard Bolton say the same thing in his DVD.

But, this is up to you and I trust you'll find out what works for you regardless. There's no harm in trying. If you overwork your grip, take a step back and you'll be fine.

For the record: doing one hand deadlifts is fine. I love them and I don't really count them as grip work. But, it's fine to do them. When I refer to grip training I'm talking about heavy grippers, plate pinches, static holds, etc etc etc....

Okay sounds good, I will just do maybe one static hold, then a few reps with the 150 heavy grips.

Thats fine. Just be aware that you can easily overwork those tiny muscles. So if you feel your grip weakening, know when to back off a bit. Thats all.

Comments:
Bad workout. Pullups went great, but right after squats I started seeing stars and I could barely see during the pullups sets. I skipped everything else and went home. I could barely see and almost passed out, then I threw up. Feeling good today though. Will upload video I too of the pullups later.......

As for squats, I did the first couple of reps beltless and I failed after 1 rep! I thought it was because I went beltless, but when I wore the belt I didn't even get one rep! Could have been because of the sickness though.

damm man! I am feeling sick too. I hope you feel better and kill it next time. Did you drink enough water/have enough to eat pre workout?

 

[Andalite]

I'm feeling a little sick as well. Fuck me....

 

[Tblock1]

Well I went to the doctor because I had tick bite with a huge rash and I was a little worried about lyme's disease, but he said the whole headache thing was probably a random migraine and not to worry about it. Hope you guys feel better though

[Andalite]

Thats a LOT of exercises, dude.

 

[Tblock1]

Here's the vid I got the other day from my pullups.

Yeah I know it's a lot of exercises but so far it's going good. If I feel any over training I'll take a couple days off
