You mean with a metal hook around the bar? If so no, that would feel like I cheated I thinkNice work man, looks like you are keeping consistent with your training!
Ever tried hook grip?

No, whereby you grip the bar by first wrapping your thumb around it then locking it in with fingers. It allows you to lift heavy with a double overhand grip, from which I find it easier to engage lats and lift without stressing biceps.You mean with a metal hook around the bar?

Aha, we call that "thumb lock", Yes I have tried that but dont think I do it right becouse it feels like I am chrushing my thumbs!No, whereby you grip the bar by first wrapping your thumb around it then locking it in with fingers.

Lol no, you are doing it right!Aha, we call that "thumb lock", Yes I have tried that but dont think I do it right becouse it feels like I am chrushing my thumbs!
Alright! I will give it another try! Thanks!Lol no, you are doing it right!
It's a good thing to introduce at the beginning of a volume phase to facilitate tissue conditioning.
Once you get that thumb fat and calloused, it will feel a lot more sustainable. Also better for the back and shoulders.
When I started using hook grip I just worked it into my routine, gradually using it with more weight until it was bearable. I canbkift more with hook, because it slightly increases arm length and its more sustainable injury wise.Alright! I will give it another try! Thanks!
Right now I am tempted to try mixed again becouse I know the grip is my limitation by far but I also want to keep my biceps a little longer
Okey makes sence, but I tried it today when doing barbel rows and it hurt alredy at 120kg, perhaps it will work better for onlu 1 rep rather then 12?When I started using hook grip I just worked it into my routine, gradually using it with more weight until it was bearable.

Definitely be easier for deads because you are keeping your arms straight. Wouldn't recommend for rows because forearm rotation is important to articulation at the elbow.Okey makes sence, but I tried it today when doing barbel rows and it hurt alredy at 120kg, perhaps it will work better for onlu 1 rep rather then 12?

Notes.
Really wanted to see how strong I was in deadlifts and I think I got a very positive answer, my personal best is 235kg and if I train deadlifts little more seriouse, I think I have a good chanse to beat it. it would be a good resume, to beat two pr`s at 40 years of age. Its going good lately, no injuries.
It will be, thrust me!!Nice pull dude! 230 has gotta be in the bag.

I think I have a hard time to motivate myself doing legs when I am not going for any squat recors any longer, it felt okey and no injuries but I guess I didnt even try to up the weights.
No injury but taking it easy after a heavy period where I managed to break my PB, want to take it really easy with my knees and such these days, I will go up in weights again when I get the urge!Are you recovering from an injury? 8n that scenario I'd be working towards increasing volume before weight.
Thank you! I feel strong for the moment!Benchpress is coming on nicely mate!
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it!Some heavy loads and volume here. Impressive!
