Tuesday
3rd session while awaiting replies.

Thick handled dumbbell deadlift work
Watson thick bar
bar (10kg) x 3 reps @, 50-kilos x 3 reps @, 80-kilos x 3 reps @

97-kilos 2-inch v-bar pin set up*
L/H: 1, 1, then 2 half off floor followed by a few failed attempts.
R/H: 2, 2, 1, 2, then failed. Wrist slightly cocked.

I'm trying to lift this as flat as possible as the bell is low (about a 10kg plate tall) and if it's tilted I'll never get it out of the box.

*Set up is the 12kg 2-inch v-bar, 60mm sleeve (from adjustable thick grip), Olympic spring clips and plates. This time I used it with both sides of the pin balanced.
