Y'all use straps on pulling exercises? Tired of my grip going out when I know i still got reps left in the tank. But I feel like my grip won't actually improve if I rely on straps.

The purpose of the pulling exercises is not to train your grip. There are exercises specifically for that. So yes use straps for the heavier weights where your grip will always be weaker compared to what you lift...........................


If you ain't lifting hoe-weight that is.......

I don't. I might use chalk depending on how I feel but if my grip is holding me back, I focus on improving my grip strength.

Train grip strength directly if it matters to you. You are missing out on gains

Abs start and finish in the kitchen

That feeling you get when you drop a few pounds and your T-shirts start to hang a little lower. They are no longer hugging your waistline.

Pretty much have reached my ideal body type. At the gym the other day and some guy called me big fella and asked me to spot him

The hard work and pain pays off

I really wish my commute was shorter. It’d enable me to switch to going to the gym before work instead of after. Knocking out your workout before you go to work is just the best

Gonna add running back into my routine once summer is over. 2x a week should be fine.
