| Monday 8th August 08:00 -- AM Session Squat 20kg x 5 x 4 40kg x 3 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 belt on 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 130kg x 1 140kg x 1 147.5kg x 5 PB Sweet, fourth rep was a grind but the fifth wasn't, odd. Deadlift 60kg x 3 80kg x 2 100kg x 1 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 180kg x 1 195kg x 1 205kg x 1 PB Wahoo, matched my equipped deadlift PB without a suit on. Best thing is that I don't think I was 100% today. The last couple of inches were a mega grind. | |||

Nice log, good work on keeping it entertaining  I gotta call BS on this though...! Wiegieboard said:For the hook grip though, I'm kinda fecked. My hand are too small to use hook grip I almost guarantee my hands are smaller than yours (my non-lifting friend once laughed out loud when he noticed how small my hands are) but I've held 170kg on my third go at hook grip. My grip in general is mediocre at best. Also, all the tiny olympic weightlifters manage it. Man up and do it!  | |||
