weak grip

[coolcolj]

true a killer on the grip, but those arnt that easy. one may have to build up to that. maybe try JOKER's method and the go for CCJ's as a test.

I do sets of chins with 35lbs attached on the power rack now, after 6 months or so of doing them - albeit with low reps
Huge forearm pump though!
I also feel you get better back recruitment, rather than pulling with your arms too much with normal chin bars.

Kinda feels like doing stuff with thick bars - make that really thick

No glove rule in effect

Yeah i wear gloves... i also use to depend on straps.

i use straps once in a while and am not ashamed to say so. I read an interview by dorian yates, who used them a lot, where he said something like
" why should i let the fact that my grip can only handle 300 pounds keep my back from getting to lift 400?"

well something like that but you get the point, my back is stronger than my grip in terms of weight , but i still want to put as much stress on my back as i can , so theres nothing wrong with using straps on that last heaviest set of deads, BB rows, pulldowns, shrugs
