No special sore spot to mention. The whole legs get wrecked, because you are up and down and push for what, 4-5 hours? The volume is insane. And the load is not just BW either, when braking from speeds like 80-90kmh, you need to really push them skis hard against the snow. Besides this, i did a lot of technique training skiing this time, so i had to be aware of body posture all the time, this causes extra soreness, like in every other sport when doing exercises with ultra strict form. E.g. i got very sore anterior deltoids from actively trying to have the hands out and in front in the turns. Core was fine, back gets more load from all this bend and rise. Calves get a huge overload too from all this pushing against the snow. Most of all the load overall goes to the quads of course, but i was pretty fine there.

I did some reading the other day and people seem in general not to like hook grip for higher rep things (i.e. it's good for upping 1RM grip strength/for things where you reset between reps), so it might not be optimal on RDLs. Sorry for the back on forth on this!

Hey no worries, the more information, the better. Still torn, i've been told in the past that i look weird when using over-under grip and weights get heavy-ish, there is no symmetry, i both rotate and sink. I think i'll give the hook grip some more time. I see it as a good aid for hang powercleans ( which i want to incorporate again soon ), building a confident and strong hook grip will definitely help them too. If stress on thumb does not diminish, i will stop them and use them for low-rep (R)DLing only...

Everything I've seen lately is double overhand till failure then either hook or straps. Funny reading that stuff then seeing all the top strength guys pulling mixed anyway.

I love throwing in some weight on pullups. It's cool to be able to regulate the intensity of such a great movement and in my experience helps me improve faster. People definitely don't do that enough.

What do you think is a good way to attach the weight? I usually just use a lifting belt and chain free weights on between the knees.

Belt+chain is what i use too and feels great, i have only gone up to 20kg though, but it still did feel great. Also, I had to use DBs ( 'hold' with legs ) a few times in the past and it felt horrible.
I guess vest would be cool too but i have no personal experience to share.
