OMG not another Rippetoes blog!

Terrible session tonight:

Squats:

80 x 5
100 x 5
120 x 3

These felt absolutely terrible, no hip drive or anything, absolutely terrible, so stopped there.

Leg press:

170 x 10
170 x 10

Meh. Haven't leg pressed in over a year... felt awkward, though.

RDLs:

90 x 6
120 x 5
130 x 5
130 x 5

These weren't that hard, but my grip was really struggling.

No straps for RDL? They're pretty much *the* movement I use them for + rows.. but I don't do those much.

Never RDLed more than 95, and with 95, hook grip is good for probably hours. I don't row nearly enough to challenge my grip. I'll use straps next time though.

Whats the max you tried hook gripping? I find 140+ to be pretty dam uncomfortable... need to get me some tape.

I held 180kg hook grip on the Eleiko EASY.

I've got ****ing hundreds of logs on sites all over the internet. It's like I've had a w*** and my jizz is my training log, and it's went everywhere. Here is a list of places that I have a training log at, or used to have one at:

Here - still operating after almost two years - longest running log in Fitness baby!

Iron Addicts - finished after I got banned by some moron mod (best thing that's ever happened to my training knowledge and intelligence)

Intense Muscle - similar attitude to IA's except that it's full of bodybuilding homos who spout utter broscience so I can't be assed to update it

BB.com - still up and running, although no-one comments in it hardly

Rip's forum - same as above

Marunde Muscle - kept on forgetting about it so just decided to stop

Lyle's forum - same as bb.com and Rip's forum

Sugden - just started, but had some chitchat

Since when could you lift 180 :P, and how numb were your thumbs after.... 160... I lost feeling for about 2 hours.

So 5 live ones. I suppose if you're getting some feedback they can be useful, otherwise I couldn't be arsed with all that.

Someone left it on racked (morons) after doing shrugs probably. It was too high for rack-pulls (and who rack pulls 180kg anyway?). Tingled and hurt a little during the hold, but nothing really more after 10-15 minutes. But on the fat cheap bars, 140kg ***** my thumbs up for hours.
