Block 1 Week 3: Paused Deadlifts + Tempo Bench Press Session.

I remembered to bring my chalk this time, so I got to get some solid Hook Grip training in, today. Forgot my speaker, though 😩. I figured finally dipping in to Hook Grip Practice can be a nice way to regulate my training loads/RPE, for deadlift accessory work so I work with perhaps a bit less weight, while still challenging myself, and getting good work in. I think once I get a hang of it, and my thumbs build a good tolerance to it, I can start pushing it even harder. This overall went very well; better than expected. I was going to shoot for 170 Kgs, which would have been cake with mixed grip, judging how easy 165 moved with hook, but I decided to play it safe, as I have very very little experience with hook, and I am pretty sure the most I have ever done before this with hook grip is about 120 Kgs lol, as I basically have only practiced it every now and then with warm up weights. I think I could have easily done 170 today with Hook Grip as well, judging by how easy 165 moved. I didn't want to pull an Icarus and get too overconfident though, and risk tearing my thumbs, hahaha. I may very well transition to Hook Grip in the future, once I work out the kinks. We'll see! 🤘🏻
