Welcome to my Log

I want to focus on pullups and upper back/lats and after 6 sets of it my grip was kinda shitty, so if i went to try the hook grip, the weight on Pendlays would have been even more embarrassing.

Deads I just feel, i need a break from them.

My grip is stronger than ever from using the hook.

Today was my DL deload. 350 for 5 was my top set. I pulled it for 8 with the hook and no belt. Grip was no issue.

I also pulled 225 one handed with each hand using the hook as I stripped the bar after the 350. Haven't tried this in a while and it was way easy. Hook grip FTW!!!!

Nice!!! 225 one handed it's great! Hook grip it's on tomorrow, gonna start with either deads or Pendlays!

And that superset it's a killer, Poliquin also recommends a superset like that but instead of the barbell curl doing the CG chinup!

For a conditioning matter maybe i should do the hook grip on my warmup sets first right?

It will not take long to get used to hook gripping. After a few weeks your thumbs will be callused up and pain won't be an issue. Your strength will catch up fast too.

I've been consistently using the hook since May. I do all my rows and my DL warm up sets with the hook. I switch to an alt grip around 365, but that's just to save my grip for the heavy sets. The 350 was actually a rep PR with the hook today.

The 225 OADL was easy. I have more in me. I am going to work these every DL session and see what happens. Watching Mark Felix OADL 474 is bad ass. I'd like to get 315

I am going to try that Chin/Incline DB set next week

Nice! I tried the hook grip today on my rack pull warmups, felt kinda weird, like my thumbnails were being pulled off , but i adjusted it and it felt good afterward, i like it!

Mark Felix is a fucking beast! I think you can make the 315 bro

Oh and I did the Chin/inclines ss it hurts!!!

There can't be anything wrong with people gawking at your pump lol!

Have you ever tried high intensity/high volume power shrugs for the yoke?
