I quit doing the anabolic diet for powerlifters diet. Just trying to eat clean up until Nov 22. After that I'll start the meta diet agains to lose some bf.

50 sets...Nice!! Your getting fucking strong!! Awesome!! What grip would you reccomend on the bench for strength? I put my "pointing" finger on the end rings, what would you reccomend? And if I switch grip, will I lose strength at first then comeback stronger? ThanX brother!

I moved my grip out in July/Aug to 32" from about 22" and noticed a gain right away. Less distance to push the weight. It did stress my wrists for a few weeks, everything is fine now.
