I appreciate the comments....but remember Andrew if I drop the straps...I lose 150lb in deadlift...and strengthening my grip won't happen overnight...my squat is pathetic in addition...guys in my weight class 220...are doing 700-800+ I believe...I know WSB actually has a guy at this weight class doing squats with over 1000....I can't even tie his shoelaces with my ~450 squat....


For average guy in the gym I am fairly strong but competing with the big boys in my weight class...I ain't $hit...

Menace thoose guys are wearing a squat suit! They are not doing that weight with just wraps and a belt. Like the bench shirt the squat suit is made of a dense material to spring you out of the bottom and support your body.

Straps suck.....check out versa grips. These are awesome. No wrapping, just a twist and go.

came in to do shoulders/tri but ended up playing bball for over 1.5 hours in full court games......that was some good cardio....also surprised myself in that I jumped very high, with my legs very sore from a leg workout(ty DOMS), still managed to get almost 3 inches over my wrist over the rim.....noone ever expected me to even touch the rim of those who were watching.....

did last 5 sets with no rest pretty much....was in a rush...felt very weak....wide grip or not....military presses, close grip, everything was pathetic today...somewhat disappointed...but then I haven't made enough commitment to training shoulders/triceps as frequently as I should....

on the bright side I did a little bit of speed bag work today for cardio beforehand for 15 minutes, and I am gaining better consistancy in hitting the speed bag and at a faster rate.....just trying to learn it on my own....
