I have straps but reluctant to use them. Gonna try alternating grip next time. If that doesn't work then I'll dig out the straps.

Run 2 miles, 7 mins stair stepper, floors program.
2 sets
20 reps butterfly press 115 lbs
15 reps back row 110 lbs
25 crunches
10 dips
10 pull ups

I've never used straps for deadlifts. Alternating grip will help a lot. It stops the bar's tendency to roll out of your grip. If you like a normal overhand grip (or you can even do it with an alternating grip), use the hook grip...but it does hurt until you do it for a while.

I hear you on having your grip limit your workout. That's one aid the "coaches" don't allow at the gym I work out in. Been more than a few times it would have been a big help to me. The hook grip works great! I just have a real hard time doing it with my left hand. I broke my left thumb on the growth plate when I was 12. It's a bit shorter than the other...

Warmup:

Much harder workout than I thought it was going to be. Nearly puked.

6 blueberry pancakes; 1/2 pint of syrup.

Smoke - your killing me. Hard hunt completed so time to bulk up for winter? Or carb loading for next hunt?

Bar rolling in my hand was the issue. I had chalk and a hook grip but it still rolled.

Recovery. Ibuprofen withdrawal.

Seen it so many times. Someone reaches the pinnacle of their chosen sport and then let it slip away. All that hard work gone. Gone for blueberry pancakes, pizza, beer, biscuits and gravy....


Very sad....

One hour cardio and leg/triceps evolution.



2 scrambled eggs, bacon and a Belgium waffle (butter and syrup)

Can't get the link to work, I posted more pics and words on the General Big Game forum.

And I've been looking in the Alaska forum for the story.

Enjoyed it greatly. Thanks for guiding me over to
General Big Game.

10.5 miles on the bike and the air was thick with smoke, my eyes were burning, thankfully the lungs did fine.

Alternating grip was the ticket yesterday. No problem with 265lb on deadlift.

Body Pump 5am class...easier than I thought

Run 2 miles, 10 mins on stair stepper
Bench and butterfly press.

Two vodka tonics and a frittata.

Lazy tonight. Only hiked two miles w/40lbs. Did wear a brand new pair of boots to make it hurt a little.

Treamill incline intervals: 45min

Arm/back evolution.

Probably put in 3-4miles with the Dogs this evening.
