Noticed a slight mistake in my benching, probably the cause of shoulder pain, tendency to angle it towards my face on heavy lifts towards the end. Fixed it now, should see some improvements in shoulder and weight I lift hopefuly. Shoulder was fine after last bench session.

Oh, and 270 in deadlifts finaly, woho. But rather heavy on the hands, gonna buy some wraps.

A problem I recently fixed as well. Also, I'm past 325 on deadlifts and am still too lazy to buy wraps. I really should...

Depends, do you have short arms or saggy old man balls? If it's the latter, just throw em over your shoulder before you start.

I love my roommate's idea of a workout. Eat two calzones, swing a kettle ball around and laugh heartily, then play a rhythm on drums. He's doing this at 230AM.

edit: not real drums, its like some electric bongo

seriously, it owns for squatting too. In other news, any little bit of gains and muscle I had I basically lost the past 6 months, but it seems to be coming back much faster this second time around. And my little stretch and foam roll routine seems to be making my knee thing go away so i'm feeling pretty good about everything right now. I just need to take care of this minor drinking problem I picked up.....

I started using hooks after I hit 4 plates because I'm a huge pussy. I find I can lift much easier with them. 5/5 would hook again.

while on the topic of hands and deadlifting, what do you folks thing about hook grip? I have a minor case of carpal tunnel from my new job and sometimes my right wrist hurts when I double overhand. Supinated in a mix grip is fine but I prefer not to use it unless I have to, and hook grip totally eliminates the wrist pain for some reason. It's working fine so far, but I'm still at a pretty light weight(up to 225x5 so far since I started again).

Not sure, I got carpal , slight myself, but I fought through the pain to begin with, barely notice it now. Cannot say if this is a good idea though, might be quite the oposite :D

Why wouldn't you pull mixed when the alternative is crushing your thumbs?
