Hell ya man!! Nice job! Grip will catch up as you keep pulling, at least that's what I'm hoping

Great going man. The biggest thing is you have the confidence you can do it next time. Mental is everything!

Oh, heck yeah it counts! No judges here!
 
Very nice man!

Week 9, Day 6

Med Ball Slam

Deadlift
work up, work up
440x1 smoked (old PR)
470X1 easy (30lb PR) Invalid Link Removed
502x1...counting the collars (62lb PR, grip failed at lockout) Invalid Link Removed

^^^ I'll take it. I realize its red-light territory, but i'm still happy with it. I'll post a screenshot below of me at lockout for all the haters lol. It looks iffy in the video. Meh.

...On to the rest of the workout

Press
125x5
140x3
155x1
167x1+...again, counting the collars (5)

^^^same amount of reps I did with 165 (same weight minus the collars, so technically a PR. I realize this micro-loading BS is splitting hairs, but it makes me feel good)

Barbell Curl
65x10
65x10
65x10

Back Raise
BWx15
BWx15
BWx15

Feedback welcomed. I know they're not pretty, but for a ME pull I think they're passable. Minus the grip-fail, of course.

Stay strong AM.

You may want to move the positioning of the belt up slightly so you push out on it more. One thing I forgot to mention: don't hyperextend at the top. Squeeze the glutes to lock the hips and not rock back like you did as it'll actually unlock the knees and you won't get a down command.

Thanks, rodja. I'll give the higher belt position a go. And sounds good, I was unaware of this. Always learning

Would moving the belt up apply for squats too?

Remember this, the end of the squat and deadlift are with the hips fully locked. Spinal position in and of itself isn't when it's locked.

Not as much because the hip hinge isn't the same on a squat compared to a deadlift.
 
Beastly pulling man. 470 looked great, 500 obviously not as good but you'll get it locked out next time.
 
Just gotta load up that PC off the floor is all. Not bad at all. I get about 20lbs off a deadlift bar, you take slack well, so you'll improve with using a deadlift bar as well.

Thanks, dude! I'll be looking forward to trying one eventually.

I'll probably have some chalk on hand next time too.

Just do what I do, hold your last reps for some time. Easy way to get grip work in

This. Doubles or triples held at the top for as long as you can on the final rep. Great for grip and reinforcing tightness as well.

Pump was sickening on the circuit. Delts felt like they were gonna explode. Cookout at the girlfriend's today. Time to go get some post-workout grub. Yum. Stay strong AM.
 
Looks like great pump workout! Have fun at the grubbing! lol
 
Yeah, c'mon man!! We love food porn!!
 
Did someone say food porn??!! Great work in here!! Killing it as always!
 
Told you that 5 bills was yours. Glad you went after it.

Now, get some f*cking chalk. It will change your life. If your gym is going to be a pansy about it, get some liquid chalk.

Worked up a good sweat. Body definitely needs this lighter week. Feeling run down with school/work/lifting all in high gear. Slacking on others' logs, this is why. Still got love for y'all.
