hurting .. im being thirsty .. i shud leave her alone but i keep trying to link up this weekend and she says she's sick. fuck this shit. is hud have just dated the 23 yaer old where the power dynamic was completely in my favour.

Grip strength is related to CNS fatigue isn't it?

local or global? i dont think global. I think if i put more on the bar instead of 150kg warmup i prob get it. It's that 2nd set. My hook grip is weak though. I need to figure out how to get myself unstuck. At least i shud maintain 2xbw RDL worksets... but 180kg is a better goal given i i was almost up to 200kg around the comp..

it's my hook grip, or prob my brain going nope this shit is too heavy for you, and my grip bails.

No starps, hook grip is better. But i dont even have a pair nor would i know how to use them if i did. When i was nearing 200kg worksets the ROM was suspect .. but it allowed me to do 180kg backoff sets with good form and rom so i know what it means to have a 200kg max. It's what it facilitates with "lighter" weight than im interested in..

anyway ...

im grieving round x2. i swear if she contacts me today to hang out im gonna flip out

plan for the day is to shoot a whole load of 3s and play some pickup. right hamstring is pretty sore tho, mainly from bench press lol lol

In summer when i was preparing for the comp i could hardly get ONE game since there is so much demand for spots. But come winter and games are just propping up regularly without even me seeking them out.

THe basketball gods have been kind to me.. maybe overly so .. a guy from yesterday's pickup asked if i wanted to play tonight. "It's my rest day bro" i wanted to say but i said im in. Do you think im making a mistake? Let me know in the comment section below

straps are great, cheap and easy to use. being preoccupied with hook grip is just dumb ego unless you're trying to compete in PL and even then training with straps makes sense a lot of the time.

im not sure. i think last time when i did RDLs i just used DOH alll the way up to 140kg worksets then i switched to hook grip and kept going up to 200kg ish. My grip kept pace. but now that im rebuilding, i prob shud have started with DOH worksets up to 150kg and then switched over? i didnt though, i just use DOH for 110kg warmups then i go to hook for the 150kg warmup. I'll figure it out, it's not too much of a hassle cos im still making my hamstrings a bit sore anyway.

but yeah i need to get myself unstuck and then stay unstuck!

BW: 79.2kg (LPR!) getting close to my goal weight of a stable post-cut bodyweight of <79kg. and it's the morning of day 8. Was thinking 77.5kg on day 21 is probably a good place to come off the cut. Then maintain and get strong as fuck. Actually when i say maintain, i mean a recomp cos i will likely still be too fat to stick at that bodyfat%. But recomp just means a smaller deficit anyway.

Maybe we have a different definition of what RDLs are?  You are RDLing 200kg?  That seems out of the world too me given your other strength levels.  I have gotten my conventional deadlift up to 600lbs and still never done RDLs with more than 275, usually my RDLs were at 185-225lbs...

I mean maybe your just a deadlift and grip beast but for all the athletes I have seen do RDLs - about 50% of deadlift max is about right for work sets of 6-10 reps.  I mean have you tried normal deadlifts?  For a single I would imagine your at about 350kg based on your RDL.

Ok i dont know if i ever got up to 200kg. The closest i could find looking back in my log was this entry

RDL 8x150(warmup PR), 4x192.5(PR), 10x180(PR)

on april 18th and i weighed under 180lb at the time.

so yeah it was something i was working towards but didn't get there before i had to stop training the rdl regularly. i did set myself the goal to get to 200kg though and i still think i wanna do that. i dont deadlift, not a good lift for me, risk of injury is almost 100% and im not revisiting it again, learnt that the hard way. i do think im skilled at pulling .. long arms, strong hands and leverages favouring the lift don't hurt.

I'm not super high on deadlifting either...  But if I was knocking out 10 reps of what I call RDLs without straps at under 180 you can be sure I'd bulk to 200 and at the very least get in one legit 800lb deadlift!

Day 8 is done and dusted. I had the usual shake at 3pm. Then chicken, rice, shake for dinner. I shud get to my 10 day goal weight of <79kg. And on thursday ima add eggs/toast to meal 1, which will be nice. Leaning out like you thought i wud ... call the crib, the same number same hood, its all good.

I might be training someone to dunk which is exciting .. ive never done that before. woooho.
