Training Log: Entry 406
ME lower day
Pin pulls at lowest pin
135
225
315
405 (all x3)
485x1
495x1
505x0
505x0
405x1
Notes: This didn't really go how I wanted. My grip was the limiting factor. My body had more than enough strength to nab the 505s, but my grip kept slipping. I'm gonna buy some straps. Won't make them a regular practice, but for lockouts, I can make an exception.
DB split squats of 60
11,9,8
Notes: Current gym does not have enough space for walking lunges, so altered the routine a little. This murdered my grip moreso than if I used a barbell.
Good mornings of 115
10,10,8,8
Notes: These felt really good. Gotta do my best not to bend my knees, as I'm trying for straight legged. Should KO it next time.
Wide grip pull-ups
8,8,4,4
Notes: Progress I suppose. This works way better than t-bar rows on lower days.
Gonna do some hanging leg raises at home.
What are pin pulls?
ReplyDeleteYou set the pins of the power rack to a level where you want to work from, then set the bar on there and pull from that height. It's like a rack lockout for deadlifts. Good way to get past locking out issues.
ReplyDeletecool thanks
ReplyDeleteDB Split Squats are hell. They certainly do work one's grip.
