Let's do some pulling today. Haven't deadlifted or rack/mat pulled since March 1, 2013.

Feeling weak!

With Fat Gripz.

Mat Pulls

Mat Pulls

Gotta to ease back into pulling...again :/

I haven't done any serious pulling in over a month, and man, my hands and thumbs hurt.

And here's a tip: roll one side of the loaded barbell onto a tiny weight to elevate it slightly off the ground (or mats) to make adding and removing plates easier.

Wish I did this earlier!

8 mats, about 6 1/4" from the ground, or an inch or two below my knee caps.

Hook grip. Straps starting at 460x3.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
