LMAO

Thanks Lusst.

A cold/allergy seems to be killing me today. Along with general overtraining like symptoms. Had to cut off a callous which was filled with fluid ...so now gonna have to superglue the fucker until it heals...weird that it's on the pinkie thumb pad...usually i get it under index or middle figner....

Finally got bands i ordered today. So will start doing my lifts with bands.....will also try 1 arm chin with 25lb band....

The callus is probably to do with the high rep deadlifting, you were pulling in the same stance/set up as I did for the challenge, I have a callus and blister on my pinky as well sounds like its in the same place.

Any chance yours is on your 'over' hand that you use to grip your deadlifts?

[DEVILsSON]

Nope mine is on my 'under' hand. My right hand...which is the stronger of the two...

[Zerocrew1984]

why do you use your stronger hand for underneath grip? just because its more natural?

[Gordon]

Most peoples right hand or whatever hand they right with is stronger. He is probably saying that its suprising that he got a blister on that hand because its harder to grip overhand and usually the bar will start slipping and rubbing, wheras your underhand it doesn't usually slide as much.

I am sure he will correct this if its wrong.

[Zerocrew1984]

I do it because it feels more natural but plus since the overhand grip is the hardest thats why i put my strongest hand in that postion.

[DEVILsSON]

i tried alternating grip to keep my strength level even but I cant hold on to nearly as much weight the other way around and it feels completely awkward.

Usually if I get blisters they are under index, middle or ring fingers. Also my over hand has higher chance of getting them as it is harder to hold on. My right is my strongest hand . The hand I play sports with more dominantly with(bat, shoot, etc). However I write with my left hand.

I think I gripped the bar badly on a couple reps and callus was the result of it. It was quite painful. I was basically doing all my other lifts after that on my fingertips....was almost falling off on chins and DB hit the floor right after I finished my reps...

-played 5o5 bball for almost an hour. Realized a few things. My conditioning sucks. I couldnt throw a ball in the ocean standing on a beach. Wearing flat sole walking shoes maybe good for deadlifts but not so much for basketball...

Military with Wide staggered stance:
45-10 reps
135-5 reps
185-3 reps
225-1+0 reps....fought for my life...got little light headed.....no strength....no more bball before lifting....lesson relearned....
135-12 reps
135-12 reps
135-12 reps

Chins:
bodyweight(215)-5 reps to chest
+45-1 rep to chest
+90-1 rep to chest

Pulls:
bodyweight-5 reps

-started getting pain in right elbow....signs of tendinitis so will take it easy for a week...

Sitting One Leg Curls:
50-5 reps
100-3 reps
120-1 rep ...right calf started to cramp badly as I completed and held rep....planned to go for 150 but decided to take a bit of precaution
-stretched calves a bit

Bench with Minis: Double looped 1 per side...I am guessing they were much more than the 25lb resistance they are rated....probably at least double
bar-10 reps
135-10 reps
185-5 reps
225-2+0 reps....felt like a ton..

8pm END...

garbage workout ...should have used better judgement and stayed the fuk home...was still sore from previous workout....

I got a new toy that I think you'd like. One of my e-friends from Marunde's board got a hold of some old York globe dumbbells that his gym owner was going to get rid of unless somebody wanted them. Obviously, e-friend took them and offered the sawed off globes for shipping cost only to the first however-many people to PM him.

I told him the old Yorks are worth a lot on Ebay and such, but he still preferred to send them out to fellow lifters. So, I gladly accepted.

I chose the smallest of the three sizes he had and I sure as hell can't lift it yet, but the sender posted a pic of himself locking it out before he shipped it to me, so I know it's possible. It's 29 pounds and pretty damn big in diameter. Crazy grip challenge.
