[tkD]

nice back session Skeptic, strong deads for sure and a nice PB, don't worry for those failed grips, maybe you already were a bit exhausted from the previous hundreds of kg's lifted

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks mate! yeah next week ill try to get at least 4 reps on each set of 140kgs

Despite the PB with the front squats.. i could have done a couple more reps, but the bar slipped off my shoulders

I could have done more weight with the goodmornings, but i havnt been doing them for long so im still not to confident on testing my limits just yet.

 

[Pickle]

sweet front squats cutey how do you hold your hands for them? the bar slips for me when i dont use palms away from body technique. Palms away from body hurts my wrists tho

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks mate! im using palms towards body... im thinking i should probably start using palms away from body, cus even at 80kgs it was starting to slip, although i was able to control it more.
