So it's 6:00 AM. Just did my warm-ups and getting ready to start my lifts. I see this guy there, bout my age, smaller, but in good shape, looks like he's been lifting most of his life. He seems to be there most morning's about the same time as me.

I watch him doing one arm rows, i see him struggling with the straps, sinching them up nice and tight. I finish with my one exercise and my next lift i'm pretty much beside him, by this time he's doing DB shrug's. We've never spoken, just the usuall groggy 6:00 AM nod of the head. By now I'm thinking to myself, HOOKGRIP!!

He'll think i'm a ****ing genious, a guru, maybe even the myth!!.. He straps himself in, stands up and I say to him "want to see something where you'll never have to use a strap again?" He says "hang on a minute".. 10 reps later he bends down, slips his hand's off the DB's, stands up holding his hand up so that i can see that every finger on his hand has been cut off to the last knuckle!!

Genious, guru, myth?? I'm a ****ing idiot!!!

True story!

Hey faller train with him one day he might be a good partner you never know

I'm like a partner whore who's ever there at 8-815 and feel like doing what I'm doing that day is welcome to play if they train for real.

Sounds like this guy can carry his weight aroung the gym for sure !!!!!!!

Ya he was kool with it. I just laughed and said "guess the hookgrip ain't going to help ya". We talked for a bit he's a good shit, has a sense of humor. I guess when he was a young kid he pulled a Bart Simpson and stuck his hand under a running lawnmower. Like i said he's not huge but in really good shape, been training most of his life i guess. Its definitly not holding him back.. Funny i never noticed it before, i did notice the strap around his wrist all the time but not the fingers.

He probably would make a good partner but i've been training alone for so long i don't think i could do it with a partner anymore.

He probably shows a chick his hand, and gets a sympathy tug
