Thanks for stopping by, guys
Stage 1, B5
My grip (forearms & hands) is failing
Usually it doesn't hit until the lunges/step ups, but yesterday I could hardly hold on to my deadlifts. Ugh.
Deadlifts: 3×10x55 lbs (grip started failing here; kept switching alternate grips)
DB Shoulder Press: 3×10x30 lbs
Wide Grip Pulldowns: 3×10x40 lbs (grip failing here, too)
Lunges: 1×10x30 lbs, 2×10x20 lbs (grip failed after first leg; switched to lower weights to rest, then switched back on the last set. Grip failed again. But both legs got at least one set at 30 lbs.)
Crunches: 3×12x10 lbs (long arm, Swiss ball)
Notes: My deadlift form feels more like a squat, and my hamstrings don't really feel as if they're involved. I'm going to hunt for the camcorder battery and see if I can get it recorded. Bleh.
