September 22, 2021: PU, Neider Press, DL, SW, GU

PU: 1 very slow on rings. Less discomfort in left shoulder this time, still a little, paused there to feel it out, making progress for sure. Now doing all my short bar hangs in 4 different positions: overhand, both over/under grips, and underhand. Neider Press: lf, 1-2-3-4-5 ladder, no break first 4 rungs, short rest between last two. While teaching: SW: 32 kg x 2h x a few DL: end of teaching session, 225 lb x 10, light tng, felt great to do break SW: 00:00 28 kg x left x 10 01:00 28 kg x left x 10 03:00 28 kg x left x 10 04:00 28 kg x left x 10 06:00 28 kg x left x 10 07:00 28 kg x left x 10 09:00 28 kg x left x 10 10:00 28 kg x left x 10 11:00 28 kg x left x 10 12:00 28 kg x left x 10 - as yesterday but w/ 28 kg. Experimenting with keeping elbow really locked out, seems to feel better! break GU: 8 kg, 2R/L, 2R/L to hand. Figured out that right oblique doesn't fire when weight is on right side, thinking about making that happen fixes most things. PU: rings, x 1, 1, super slow - didn't false grip solidly 1st rep, hurt left side. Better grip on next rep and it was good.

    I used the hook grip doing Olympic Weightlifting
    from 1970 (I was 12) to 1976.
    I still use the double overhand hook grip for heavy lifts. I train my thumbs doing rack holds
    so they are ready when needed.
    peace

    Unknown, why do you mention hook grip here? I am familiar with it, have trained it a few times in the past, but I make my living playing the piano and it bothered my thumbs so, after a few tries, I decided against it for good.

    Sorry about that. I only mentioned it because it's becoming more common for the hook grip to be used for deadlifts.
    Not cool for piano players though.
