[O-Train]

This workout felt a lot better than the last leg day I did. Really focused on keeping my wrists neutral and squeezing the bar as hard as I could. Helped take the strain off of my wrists which let me focus more on the weight and it felt way lighter today. Still a long way to go to get back to semi-decent numbers.

I don't follow on the wrist issue.

[O-Train]

Squatting with a low bar placement can put a lot of pressure on your wrists because the bar doesn't rest on your traps like with a high bar placement. I use a fairly narrow grip width to keep everything really tight which probably puts more pressure on the wrists also.

What does putting your hands collar to collar do for you?

What does putting your hands collar to collar do for you?

It may work, but I like using a narrow grip because it keeps the bar tight in place. As long as I grip hard and flex the forearms/keep the wrists neutral it works well.

Still alive. Got off the wagon for a while but I've been consistent for a week so hopefully I can build on the momentum. A little tough dragging myself out to the cold garage but it's more of an excuse than anything. May invest in a space heater for next winter. Just doing a simple program. Squats, chinups and lateral raises one day and bench press, ez bar rolling tricep extensions, standing calf raises and post delt/mid back flys the other day. May incorporate deadlifts every once and a while too but right now what I'm doing doesn't really matter...just have to keep doing something. Numbers suck obviously and I'm not really logging anything specific until I'm consistent for a while.

Couple things I've been doing different is using plates instead of dumbbells for lateral and post. delt flys. It feels good and should improve my pinch grip. Also been focusing on eccentric contractions for chinups. Partially out of necessity due to being weak/heavy but I'm liking it a lot. Looks kind of silly jumping and hanging but that's the beauty of the garage gym.
