Hey Huy, do you use wrist straps on back day? I use them a lot, but I've been wondering if I should try to ween myself off them and try to build more finger/forearm strength...I'm torn.

I quit using straps a couple/few years ago, Rob....my grip strength has gone up quite a bit since doing so.

I have a pair of versa grips, works wonder. I try not to use them to build up grip strength. I used it for bent over rows today, that was it. Some times I'll use them for deads but only when I go really heavy.

Quick speed full body work out today, mile walk with some random animal exercises between laps.

I can't wait for my shoulder to heal if its anything like my elbow then I'll be waiting about 2 years. I think I have about a year or year and a half left.

Doin anything for it? Braces, cortisone shots, rest? Idk much about shoulder injuries (see below**).

KT tape has been providing some mild relief for a wrist injury. It's certainly not as magical as the advertisements make it out to be, but it prevents me from bending in ways that would make it worse, so it's actually been getting better.

Nothing for the shoulder injury, just ice and ibuprofen. I just take it easy on the motions that cause it the most pain, fly's, incline bench.

Gotcha, well hope it gets better soon! I had a hard headed friend try to exercise on an injured shoulder and have to get surgery because of it.

Push day for me!

Reached a personal milestone today, which I'm very excited about: 280lb bench press (all the way down to my chest without bouncing). Really hoping to break the 300lb wall by the end of this year

Since it's shown good results for me, I'm going to continue with chains/resistance bands on the bench press to help me build explosive strength when the bar is resting on my chest (which is something I always struggled with).
