I tore the last of my calluses after the 5th set of deadlifts and so was forced to wear a glove on my left hand for the final set. The deadlifts definitely feel heavier without straps, making the pull a lot slower off the floor and thus harder at the top. I also feel that not squatting has had made my deadlift a bit weaker. I will continue to not use straps for as long as possible, however I based my estimated 1RM on the 190kg x 3 set I did with straps, so as I reapproach those poundages I will inevitably have to use straps again. I recognise that my grip is a weakness and I am addressing it, although I don’t see the point in allowing my pathetically small hands to limit how much I deadlift.
I wanted to do a lot more rowing/back work today, but my torn callus said no.
We had an awesome prowler workout today. We made sure each sprint was done as fast as fucking possible, really getting low and driving with the legs as quickly as possible. The low handles really smoke the quads.
