New Day 2, aka Grip Destruction!

Tired today..can tell my metabolism is revving back up, because I was wired until late last night.  Couldn’t fall asleep early enough, so didn’t end up getting much total sleep.  But, I pulled through and felt pretty good today…just noticed I was running out of gas a little sooner than normal in the workout and had to slow down between sets.

I knew going into this workout that it was more than just some basic back and tri work.  I could tell my grip would be screaming for mercy by the end…and it definitely was.  I could barely even hold onto 90’s for a 20 sec. farmer’s walk on the last set. Crazy!  But, it was a good workout.  Pullups were really tough today.  I haven’t done them much lately, plus they’re always hard with my long arms.  Damn long levers!
