My diet will do it better and leave you feeling in better condition for a fight, trust me, I've tried both approaches!
No worries G! As mentioned as well, after a week of intense junk eating. ( I had a non cheat day in the week). I've actually only gained 1kg (??) so its interesting and fun to see what whats going on. For the 1st time ever, I am thinking I can actually get down to something like 77kg. I was wondering what I would look like at 80kg with good muscle ration and now I got a very good idea, I think I can get lower. Just see what my options are and if I can resist...the cakes.
Don't stop fighting mate. You can always get new elbows and knees. Or get them chopped off. Either way, problem solved!
Not sure about that, maybe a european city break package deal with reasonable weather considering the season...
**WOOOOTTT** I know loads of you guys have already broken this, but for me its a big deal. Finally broke the 100kg flat bench @ 2 reps. (my trainer was probably deadlifting it whilst I was benching BUT IT STILL COUNTS!)
Grip issues. :/ I have just Deadlifted 130kgx2reps. Form is a little off but still comfortably done. I just failed at 140kg simply because my hands can't grip onto the weight. My grip strength sucks. Guess I gotta deadlift lighter till my hands catch up. I'm not a fan of those grip strength squeezy things
i feel your pain! gratz on the PR though! things that help: -straps or chalk. straps transfer the weight straight to your wrist, and your grip only helps to keep it on place (still need some strength and hard to do while fatigued, but not nearly as much as actually gripping the bar). chalk will increase friction and let you exert more force with your hands for a long time (thus helping your grip get stronger as well as letting you keep deadlifting longer). -submax volume with chalk just before grip failure: one method that worked for me was to take 100kg, lift it with double overhand for as long as i could without hitting failure, and then chalk up and keep going. iirc i was aiming for something like 30 total reps or so (think i was doing singles, it's gonna be somewhere in the depths of my log around a year ago). -one arm dumbbell rows for super high volume, then with straps for super high volume. go until you can't go any more, then strap up and keep going. you should be able to do this with 30-40kg or so with your deadlift at that weight. basically the same thing as the above point, but a bit more for endurance than sheer strength (also the rowing motion means that your grip will be more unstable)
The gym I go to is Chalk free so I use straps or gloves when I can (but I tend to forget them all the time). Its frustrating as with shrugs I can get a 45kg DB in each hand and shrug easy but my fingers gives out before anything.
Lol. Yeah. Last week I inadvertently broke the pb for that too. Picked up 35kgx5 reps thinking it were 30kg. #Row4Fish!!

Simple bag work. This bag had focus spots on them so I tried to go for them. Screenshots from a video to make me look better.
