  • On the last rep, I felt a popping or snapping sensation in my left thumb where the edge of the thumbnail meets with the skin. Lowered the bar right away, thought I might have cracked a nail or ripped my thumbnail off. Thumbnail ended up cutting the skin of my thumbs. Gotta use tape or straps next time I do anything more than 1 rep.

  • I was planning on doing 530 lb x 3 for a 3RM, but figured I try this out first. The worst that could happen is I end up not moving the weight, seeing a bunch of stars for a few seconds, and removing plates off the bar in preparation for the next set. Didn't end up going for the 3RM. Saving my thumbs for another day.
