Thanks Brock but I started not far off from where you are now 4 years ago:thumb:

"So my stats when I started were.
36 years young still 5' 11" 205 lbs 20-24% body fat and soft as a marshmallow
Bench 195
Squat 175 in the gain robbing abomination known as the "Smith Machine"
Dead Lifts My Fascious Gym didn't allow dead lifts so 0lbs
Other lifts aren't worth noting."

I set goals for myself and slowly work towards them. Remember that training is peaks and valleys. The stronger I have gotten the better my back has felt, it hasn't gone out in 4 years now. Of course I have banged it up training and what not but it hasn't been anything a little rest, chiro & massage hasn't been able to fix.

So keep at it and work slowly towards a goal. Rome wasn't built in a day.

It has its days.. I'm 75% better id say. I've been doing cat cows everyday and it seems to be helping. I havnt trained core in a while though. Not enough time in the day. Hoping work slows down some this winter and I can get back in the gym more than 20-30 min a day.

Ended up doing chest, focused on not letting.my wrist roll back and letting the bar lay flat in my palm, man what a difference, hit my chest way harder wondered why chest day hasn't been burning me up lately. Think I got heavy and started letting my wrists flop back.

My rouge ones broke down in a couple months... They were okay but SBD is legit for the hardcore meathead:thumb: 6 months on them and they are just as stiff as new and the velcro is amazingly stout. Worth every penny;)

Do you guys lift false grip or no? That's all I do anymore. I had wrist problems a couple years ago when I started getting heavy and it solved my wrist issues.. No straps for me

It has its place... I don't use it or recommend it, it's illegal in the USAPL and IPF for safety reasons. I have unracked some heavy stuff and had my wrists roll forward a little, scared me but I got it back under control. False grip I probably would have dropped it on my chest or neck. BUT if it works and you train and practice with it, I don't see an issue...

Ahh I didn't realize it was illegal in comp.. I have better control over the weight with false than normal. After I about dropped 315 ok myself with normal grip I started over with false grip. It works for me, but there might be a day I drop weight on myself and wish I hadn't been using it
