And Im all about opposing grip. Dont understand how the bear does double under hand / hook grip.

I was thinking about this today and I agree. That double underhand is savage. The nickname bear is well earned for doing stuff like this.

Working on earning that name for sure, I don't think I'm really there yet but soon T-2.5weeks to see if I can really earn it on comp day.

i dont really see a problem using straps on occasion. i use them occasionally throughout prep when my hand get beat up. i just make sure when im not using them the final rep of a set is a static hold. has seemed to work well for me.

my gym just got one of these last week so i will be trying this out also.

Thats a sweet grip strength unit. Never seen one of those before but im sure itll be fun!

Good tip on holding the last rep. That time under load really builds grip strength imo. I use straps for deadlift training, but I also do a lot of weighted carries / farmers walks, weighted pull ups, and heavy rows, never using straps.

So I'm taking the plunge into the powerlifting world. Found a local group of guys that workout 4x a week. They were looking for a couple more people to be serious and get ready to compete the future. My wife and I decided to give it a go and started up with them last night

Welcome to powerlifting. I got in and never looked back.

Thank you. Looking forward to moving some heavy weight

I wear straps at heavy weights just because I wore about tearing a bicep tendon with the under hand grip. I've seen it happen a few times to guys.

Your wife is doing it too? Thats fuckin awesome. Of course now you gotta out lift her (body % wise) or she'll talk mess.

I'm going to do my best. She's a beast. Her all around fitness blows mine away. I actually met her at the gym, makes things a lot more fun

Yeah. That training would be a great thing to share with a significant other. I met a cool chick who was DLing heavy in the gym yesterday. We got to talking about form, but that was the end of it.

You will enjoy it. They'll def be judging the newbies to the group but so long as you show them you're willing to do what it takes then they'll accept you like family. I've met some of my closest friends through powerlifting.

Yeah I got that vibe. I'm no heavy lifter by any means but I'm confident on my form on the lifts.
Didn't know you were into powerlifting... maybe because I never looked haha

Talked about form? Bro, you gotta just walk up behind them whilst they arendoing the movement and give them unsolicited hands on instructions. Chicks love that. Trust me, im some guy on the internet.

I would. But Ive grown attached to freedom. At my gym thats a free trip to the cell.
