Working with Thomas Neal in order to compete on July 16th in Dayton OH, aiming for a 2000lb total at 220lbs raw and in sleeves!
Okay, so I'm still hook gripping, but it's SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING. I suck at it, and I have tiny hands. I'm going to continue to do both, but I may try mixed next week. Jeremy Hamilton, Zahir, and a lot of other guys that have dealt with grip issues, simply increased grip strength rather than trying to revamp the entire pull. We'll see. It's just discouraging being held back by such a fickle thing such as grip. But it takes time, and effort, and that's what I'm giving.
