Huh.... How do you manage that on heavy weights? I was missing my straps just on 225 dead lifts yesterday.

Ha. I don't mind the callouses. It's the grip. I that what the chalk/powder is for?

I can't stand to wear gloves, I already had a tear in my hand was trying to keep it from getting worse

I don't even use straps, your grip will never get better if you use them

The chalk helps keep you from slipping from sweat

Gloves are ok, I just see it as an unnecessary layer between you and they also can make your grim fail faster thats just my opinion though

Wrist wraps and knee wraps are a different story. Those are essential for safety at high wieghts

Ok.... So at what weight(s) do I need them?

Anytime you have had an injury to your knee elbow or whatever. When you go for a 1 rep max they are great for stability.

[Xfit10]

You don't want to use them all the time either though, so you can maintain balance between muscle and joint strength

[Xfit10]

Tomorrow I will be doing clean and jerks at 135 lbs nothing really heavy but ill probably use wrist wraps because it will be a high rep workout

This. Any time you're going balls out with either weight or reps it helps maintain stability so you don't collapse your wrist, sprain it and probably drop the bar on your face. Lol

Thanks, guys.

Thanks, guys.

You got it brother man!

You've done me proud in this log xfit. Its a gamble choosing a newer member to log, but you pulled through and then some. I truly appreciate your effort bud. Really glad you liked it too!

[RegisterJr]

I've never even tried a power clean, but will also add it to my WO list when in done with p90x. Might start practicing with a bar to get form down.

I appreciate all of you've taught me from your log. If you do another one please link it here so I can follow!
