JK, isn't there a pressure point you can strap on your lower forearm to keep you hands close?

Coach was telling me about that.

 

[W)taps]

Chalked not allowed in the gym? Blasphemy

What gym is this?

You may want to strap up those forearm then.

golds gym

Well then im not sure man. Straps aren't going to help your grip strength. If you can't hold the weight you should probably lower it. Work with a weight you can handle and work up.

Or you could join a gym where you can use chalk

 trust me I can lift the weight my hands just slips though. I think its because I had super sweaty hands before deadlifting(?)

imma try again next time to see if i have the same probelm cause this is the first time i had this problem with DL'ing

The hack squat works :x

even with mixed grip it slips on my right hand 

 and chalk isnt allowed in my gym.

Lower the weight.

Do static holds to work on grip.

And try these if you get a chance, you can use them on most movements

 

[statis22]

Man don't lower the weight just get some straps.

 

[jhowlett]

Why not try liquid chalk. Worked for me 

 

[everysingletime]

My knee is sprained and really swollen. I was in pain but I was walking around in it and bearing full weight. Didn't realize how puffy it looked until I got home

Just taking ibuprofen and icing it now. Probably 8 hours too late for that.

So this must be what Picasso feels like every Monday.

What golds gym doesn't allow chalk? But as stated if that is true use liquid chalk or straps. Id go liquid chalk over straps.

Anyway deadlift pr yesterday. Got 475lbs for 1. I had previously tried that 2 weeks ago and failed. I didn't do as much volume to work up this time. I pulled 405 for 3 then 425 for 2, 455 for 2, and then went to 475 for 1. I could tell it was going to be a good day when 405 flew. I am currently 183lbs body weight. Still shooting for sub 185lbs 405 squat, 500 dead, 225 bench yes i know

 

[everysingletime]

I honestly think that if it wasn't for the leg getting so strong from oly lifting that I wouldn't be weight bearing and this mobile right now.

I gotta stop playing basketball. Just not meant for my 30 yr old knees Lol

Funny how when I wake up the knee is so stiff and tight that I can't bend it lying down to full range of motion but now that I'm walking around I can drop into a full squat lol

 

[super t1ght]

^^^ smh you only 30 young buck, not 50 , keep ballin!

 

[jthagreat]

Just chill for a week or 2. Put a golf ball on the floor and roll your foot around on it, make it hurt. Hasn't been a problem for me since

I gave someone else this advice before in here. Whoever you are, how's your foot?

Along wit this, i recommend massaging your foot right when you wake up...before you even take a step on the floor, massage ya feet.

Helped me a whole lot.

30 isn't even old.

I went snowboarding with my boys dad last year. Dude was 50+ hitting rails one of the most insane sights I've ever seen snowboarding.

Not the knee high starter rails. Legit rails too.

 

[tdogg2k]

I turn 30 in 2 weeks. It really is a switch in your body/mind tho thats like...im not whati use to be..it gets harder and harder to get in the gym. I use to be faithful 2 hours +
Now i try to get in and out in 45 and do cardio. At home or in there if i have time.
I like being fit. I like gains i like trying to get shredded. But that dad bod seems more and more interesting to me now haha

 

[everysingletime]

I'm older than you Tdogg. Now respect your elders and stop disagreeing with me in every thread I bump into you

 

[tdogg2k]

I'm with you now bro. Us oldies gotta stick together now

 

[everysingletime]

Tomorrow is supposed to max out on cleans and 90 percent on squats

Ugh. It would pain me to skip that day.

 

[byukid]

 But that dad bod seems more and more interesting to me now haha

If I ever say something like this I hope someone punches me in the face.

 

[picasso swerve]

Anyone have 2 gyms just for the sake of switching it up? I have a local gym I totally forgot thats a 10 min walk from where I live, tried it out today and its not bad. Its lacking in the machine department which I like for extra teardown but its solid as far as all the big lifts. Brick walls are nice as well.

 

[tdogg2k]

I use to. Sonetimes u gotta go to that low key one when the main one is packed.
I usually do it in jan-mar when the new years resolutioners join

 

[getback]

Deadlifts today. Shins still healing from last week. What do you fellas do to prevent drag wounds on your legs?

 

[picasso swerve]

It shoudnt be scraping your shins in the first place, I get an occasional bump here and there but I always try to wear sweats when I know im going to deadlift.

 

[Barbados Slim]

I go with the compression leggings under my shorts for deadlift days, but ideally the bar shouldn't scrape my shins so I'm still working on getting the form down.

 

[getback]

Well damn, I've always been told to always maintain contact with your shins:
