That's some good weight you are moving on your military presses Arch- but isn't it hard on your back to lift that heavy seated?

Pylon · 03-02-2007, 07:48 PM

Sorry to hear about the hand. If it was a regular occurrence, I would suggest a good lotion, but I wouldn't worry about a one time deal. Happens sometimes. I did it once doing bench presses.

JerseyDevil · 03-02-2007, 07:51 PM

Workouts looking solid as h***.

I mean they look fueled by a higher authority! Awesome power buddy. The hand will heal.

I have found that chalk helps. In time, the hands will toughen. Callouses are your friends.

You'll be repping DLs with 4 plates soon!

fantasma62 · 03-03-2007, 10:27 AM

Hell of a workout Arch. Man, you ripped your hand? as bad as that sounds, I agree, chalk will toughen up your hands after a while.

I hope your hand gets better....

Adios....

Thank you too Brother Tony!!! Yes Sir, first time ever, but oh well, chalk here I come, LOL!!!

On a side note, a guy at the gym mentioned I could prevent that if I wore gloves and strapped up, I said "your right, but I have to work on my grip as well, plus I can't use either in a meet"

He said........................ Oh, yeah, your right!!!

And he proceeded to strap up and do CURLS!!!

Pylon · 03-03-2007, 01:22 PM

Nice. Try applying a 45 lb plate to his head, gentle but firm. See if that helps.
