I am getting back into training recently after a long lay off and have a couple of questions:
I noticed during pulls that my grip strength was my weakest link - i.e. I wasn't able to tax my lower back, legs etc. as much as I could take because my grip was failing. Is it worth trying some grip/forearm specific training or do you reckon that my grip will just catch up from concentrating on doing deads a few times a week?
Also, in general, what is the best way to do warm up sets? I think my endurance is pretty poor so I am a bit concerned that by doing too much warming up, I am reducing my ability to complete a decent amount of work sets. Is it better to sack off warm ups whilst I am still lifting pretty light until I build more endurance?
Finally, re assistance exercises - seeing as I am getting back into things thus am pretty sore - is it better to forget about these and just concentrate on the big core movements to aid recovery so that I can improve on the main lifts better?
Ta v'ry muchly
