I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[Krankenstein]

you can always hook grip if you dont mind mangling your thumbs

Getting used to hook grip is also something most don't want to go through.  Its uncomfortable at first...but you get used to it.

I've used double-overhand on deadlifts ever since switching from a mixed grip ~10 years ago.  What are the benefits of the hook grip?

Are you serious Dudes are going to be running up asking for pics with me

they will if you grow that moustache again...

I've used double-overhand on deadlifts ever since switching from a mixed grip ~10 years ago.  What are the benefits of the hook grip?

Very strong grip and safer on the biceps than mixed. With double overhand, you risk bar roll, which could lead to hands opening. With mixed, you take away a lot of the worry of bar roll, but it's rough on the biceps. With Hook gripping, the thumb acting as the hook stops bar roll, while being close or as strong as mixed.

That being said, it's rough on the hands for a few months, and some just don't adapt to it.

So many desk job people suffer from it and most ortho surgeons want to cut the fuck out of people's wrists.  I believe it still is the surgery with the highest failure rate and the one that is the most repeated.

Gotta track that stuff to elbow, shoulder, and even neck.  Not just focus on the wrist.  Resolving that stuff can take a LONG time.   Something people do not want to hear.

I just figure I'll deal with it. Just adding it to the list at this point.
I dont feel the need to get sliced if I dont need to.

Work around everything...

This is a sign that you are a douchebag.

Wake up and stop being such a dumb shit.

Learn how to behave properly in society like an adult.

Hi Chaos !   🙋

Oh man, I am not very good at bent over rows. I try to keep my legs stiff, but I think I am confusing the correct body position with stiff legged deadlifts. I definitely need to work on them. I am doing better though when I use my lifting straps.

Take your high heels off.
Definitely need to bend your knees to protect your back.

That was me. I emailed the gym your name and locker room pics and made an anonymous complaint.

Bhanks getting outted by other gay dudes.

I think "it depends".

I never used them for the longest time. After 25 years of IT/Desk job, the carpal thing I used to laugh at, became reality.
I now use them for some back training so my grip doesnt give out first. When I get to 315 in DL, I put them on.
Rows and stuff, I'll use them. Ive been doing some kind of grip training for almost 3-decades, so my grip is good.

It's just that carpal pain can get in the way.
Those who might have a weak grip, can use straps, and then train their grip until it comes up to par.
Plus its fun and its own training genre. Thick bar stuff, pinch grip, wrist rollers, grippers, blobs, etc.
Always enjoyed grip-training stuff...

The sooner you get the surgery for carpal tunnel the more successful it is. Don't wait. I had severe CTS when I was early 30's, crazy enough. Life changing. I would wake up every night in agony.

Glad it worked for you....I have so many patients that regret it.

You've become?  Geezus you twat...everyone's been saying that since you got here.

It was probably 13 and you only did 185.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there've been any videos of 225x anything for bench posted.  I'd expect more gym floor videos now that he's been banned from the locker room.

BHANKS, let’s be real here:

You tried competitive bodybuilding and realized you were not very good at it.

You realize that you have too many health problems and you are too unhealthy for any real competitive powerlifting movements like deadlift, squat and bench, or any CrossFit style training.

So, you have latched on to this strict curl thing because it’s pretty much the only thing you can do at this point given your failed attempt at bodybuilding and your poor health. When you fail at the strict curl, you will move on to something else and then try to convince us how its the next best thing to do.

[hench]

He's setting records already, how can you knock that!?

This is something to be embarrassed about.

BTW the monk haircut makes it even creepier.

The next step in your creepy old man evolution is to start blow drying your balls while fully naked in front of the mirror while you try to make conversation with everyone.

I mean it’s not like I was washing my balls in the sink I took a photo in shorts in the changing room where no one even changes people literally just take off their jackets but whatever Gym manager told me I could take pics in the boxing room going forward
