Deadlifting and >STRAPS<

[get456]

Everytime I think about that old movie Cliffhanger, I remind myself never to be stupid enough to find myself hanging by my fingers above a thousand foot drop in the first place.

I mean really.... like you are going to head off to work one mornind and unexpectantly find yourself in that predictament.

dont assume to know what i do for a living!

I use straps because I don't give a damn about my grip strength. If I can open the microwave door and jerk off, my grip is good.

My thoughts exactly!

Every time I think i dont need grip strength... ijust think about stallone in that old movie cliffhanger.... then i realize at any point i could find myself holding on to a cliff above a thousand foot drop by only my fingers ... and i know i need that strength!

Lol....Yea you just never know when your gonna find yourself in need af that grip!!

To each his own. If you wanna develop forearms then train forearms. Deadlift is for other muscle group. I don't give a damn rat, I use straps and/or hooks and look better than those gorillas trying to lift 1 ton.

I''ve noticed lately my forearms(middle) have a little patch of broken blood vessels after I deadlift. It was after 355x6 and 315x12, anyone else have this?

I am pretty much assured that you don't hang over cliff drop offs for a living or anything else that requires Hollywood style grip strength.

i agree man but i missed 365 for 6 and i know i can get it with straps.

then you gonna have to always were straps.

what gave out your hand grip or your back and legs from fatigue?

i say drop the weight down to 350 with a raw grip then as your forarms and grip gets greated increase it to 360 then 365 then prob 375.

Btw man I think your full-o-shit pulling 365 for 6 reps.But if you are telling the truth and not yanking our chains more power to ya bro.good work
