Philosopher - Microloading Madness

[philosopher]

Nice going again Philo. 2 PB's again. Only 1 rep out on the bench - next time will be easy.

Had a rough weekend (no sleep, lots of alcohol) so I will get it next time.

That survival run looks mad, I'd love to try something like this.

10 weeks but if we can progress longer than it will be longer

 

[Pain]

What are the static holds you do?

 

[philosopher]

What are the static holds you do?

Today I used a barbell with some weight on it and try to hold it for a long as possible with various grips. you can also use a dumbells/farmers for this exercises. Its a great way to get your grip up

Great work philo.Nice PBs, congrats

 

[Mikew]

Static holds are awesome! Love to try it out once in a while aswell.

 

[ironheart]

good session philo. nice job getting two pb's in one session. keep up the good work.

 

[Rocky]

Great work - 2 more PB's. I try to remember to do some grip work to get my grip strength up. I like doing plate pinches and hanging grip work.

 

[philosopher]

For me grip work is pretty essential. I have a weak grip so it holds me back especially with deadlifting. Since Ive use grip training its slowly increasing.

Good session and good mix of exercises. What training style/split are you using?
Also, if it's easy move up!!!

 

[Rocky]

Nice work again Philo. Still easy so hopefully the PB's should be imminent.

Using 5x5 atm. Have done it in the past with good results so I thought I could give it another try.
