right im back!!

assistance for deads day.

chins, assisted by training partner when needed, just by having there hand under one foot 5 sets of 5. TBH ive not got much overhead pulling power, so i have alot of help, but still chins IMO are far better than lat pulldowns

sometimes (only sometimes) rear delt work, depends on how fresh i feel, il add in some just very very basic very high rep (for me 12,lol) rear delt flyes.

grip work.

seperate day, usually sunday.

plate pinches face 2x5kg plates face to face so the flat bare side is outwards and grip with thumb Vs other fingers, hold for sets of 10seconds

rolling thunder, this is an awesome piece of kit for grip work, load the bar in a pyrammiding fashion. starting 20k, working up. youll find there is a very fine balance between your top weights, this is where the grip work excells itself. personally i can hold 82.5k for 10 secs, but as soon as the bar is raised to 85k i cant pick the thing up. this proves how grip power helps lift heavier weights, UNLESS YOU ARE INJURED NEVER USE LIFTING STRAPS!!! these cause more injuries IMO than are accounted for

kettle bell work, TBH at our gym we only have one bell and its an 85k monster of a thing. but its the thick bar aspect that helps. your fingers never go all the way round, so grip is hit left,right and centre. great stuff.

and thats about it, happy hunting

big, on lighter sets only a minute or so, when its heavier and close to top weight about 4-5 mins sometimes

yea there is quite a bit of strain on the legs doing sumo! u might need to drop ur weight back a bit at 1st and then build ur self up slowly to ur top weight!!!

the whole reason sumo works i coz there is less movement on the back and all in the legs. therefore u have less to move the bar!!!

much more natural position, your not working against the knee joint.
