Oh ya your bench could be a little higher, like maybe my 255 bench? Sorry couldn't help it just want to keep the friendly competition going

Or like my 365 bench?

What else do you do for grip? I feel like those grippers plus some pinching of the plates would be good to go.

Oh and you have to be plat, they took my plat away for some reason and now I dont have my sig anymore.

How do you make an avatar? Do you have to be platinum?

hahaha don't worry I don't think I'll be stalling any time soon .

@glad - Hand Strength and Grip Strength Tutorial - GripFAQ.com
That website gives great ideas on all around hand strength. If you just plan on doing pinching and grippers I'd really suggest also doing extensor work with rubber bands to work the strength to open your hand. You don't want too big of an imbalance between closing your hand and opening it just like you wouldn't want an imbalance between your pushing and pulling exercises.

Thanks for that website! Damn so many things I want to work on this year. That includes one of them!

Thanks! Is your bench actually 365? I thought you were only benching a measly 325 And thanks for the great site oso!!!

No problem guys, I actually just bent a couple nails today as well as worked with my sledge. Feels good to get back into hand strength

 

[the.gladiator1987]

haha bent a couple nails, thats badass.

tblock, i did 315x4, 295x7 so i dont know what that works out to. But i dropped the anadrol so today for my last set I got 295x5. So maybe around 335 or 345 again.

Comments: I can't wait until next week...Deload week! Taking a day deload/off every now and then has been keeping me borderline overreaching but today I'm pretty much overreached. Starting to have insomnia, DOMS, fatigued all day, never hungry, no motivation to do anything, no sex drive...it blows. I had a very hard time keeping proper form on everything; everything felt awkward. Deadlifts are now the hardest thing I'm doing. I was definitely not expecting 355 to be as heavy as it was, 315 went up like a breeze. Very unmotivated to do chins. Just one more day lol.

just a suggestion but maybe you should take a week off from the gym- how long have you been training without stopping? insomnia, doms, fatigued all day, not hungry, no motivation, no sex drive--- sounds to me like you could benefit from taking a week off and getting your shit together
