Used double overhand hook grip. I can feel the calluses on the tips of my thumbs now.

First 2 reps at 367.5lbs I didn't feel much on my thumbs.

407.5lbs crushed my thumb though.

Other Notes

This is the first time keeping a record of warmups. About time...!

Deadlift (Hook Grip)

Notes

Used the hook grip for deadlifts. Felt OK, but it seems as though my pain tolerance is only up to 3 reps for now.

At 367.5lbs, it felt as though I was going to rip my thumb off. Try again next time.
