Bulkboys Log!!!

deadlifts off the floor:
130kgx4(fuck my grip is failing me every time on these, my back holds up good but its always my grip anyone got any tips on how to improve that?

Try some timed holds and grip work like grippers and plate flips. One thing I know that helps me is to do like 50 or 60 pullups. Do a set every 20-30 seconds until you hit 50; by the end I only get out sets of 2-4. I used to do these on a rough metal bar; I don't know if that helps thicken your calluses but I imagine it would. It works the grip pretty good.

And if nothing else get some straps. I'll always need straps on heavy deadlifts.

nice, bra

to improve your grip, try to do pullups on towels! that really helps a lot..

next time i will reduce the volume, man im so pumped now, my back is tight all the way up, i feel good, but im so tired, from now on ill do only 12-16 sets for large muscle groups and 9-12 for small, cant train like this anymore, cuz im sore for days after every workout...


have a good weekend everyone and thx for the support

that is good that u r going to try to lower ur volume becuz u do not want to overtrain, especially if u r sore for days and days after ur workout......that is a big problem w/ a lot of ppl is overtraining their muscles and not seeing results how they should b.....so make sure u feel everything out as far as how ur body feels and go from their to see what changes u can make in ur workout........don't forget it takes years and years and years etc....to figure out one's body

Thats a good, effective, technique. If you can hold your self up, and pull yourslef up when your tired as hell that will build your grip definitley. If your pullups bar is thick thats better yet. If not you can try and use some gym towels under your hands. It will give you a challenge of doing pullups with about an inch o 2 thicker bar.

Great session despite the grip failing. I have the same problem on my main sets so I use straps - however I am trying to improve my grip stregnth on the side too by doing plate pinches, hanging grip work and things like that to bring it up.

 

[Bulkboy]

Dobbs: yeah lets hope my grip strenghtens anyway ill try out my gloves on them the next workout, and then get straps if that doesent work

beau37: yeah i think my grip strenght is kinda weak, ill try to improve it, thx for checking in...

max ot: thx alot for the kind words, yeah my barbell rows are ok, but sadly my deadlifts does not stand in proportion to them...

glex: sounds interresting man, thx for the tip ill try it out sometime

miami: mhm, sounds fair enough, next time ill do that i guess

turkish1530:yeah man, i think i have been overtraining lately, so im gonna lower the volume a little bit, thx alot for checking in and motivate and inspire me as always

Rocky: thx man, yeah the session was good really, got a great pump through my back, the deadlifts bothered me a bit though ill try straps absolutely, but first i wanna bring up my grip a bit since i think its essential thx alot for checking in man

Great job on the dips and the biceps

 

[Dobbs]

Heavy as always Bulkboy. Each lift u did you put up some great numbers. The dips were insane, after following your log, i can see you got a damn powerful chest. Heavy curls too, that for sure will make them grow.

 

[miamiracing]

nice hun., keep the hard work up and in a cupple years, u look like a machine

 

[Rocky]

Was gonna say exactly the same thing as Glex. Nice session all around.

 

[Turkish1530]

[Dstan]

nice workout as always man good weight and reps on everything man keep it up.

 

[Bulkboy]

Dobbs: thx man, well im not really satisfied with my chest to be honest so im working hard to improve it, my bench is not my strongest movement though, and that kind of bother me since its what people always ask me about... god damnit!

miamiracing: thx honey doing what i can to get that stubborn chest up...

Rocky:yeah it kinda was, felt really good

Turkish1530:yeah its awesome having a spotter, most of the time i train by myself, so i dont have that. i live in a small town in norway and lifting weights is not so popular around here, i had a training partner but he quit and now all he does is drink and smoke...
