No sign of the wanna-bes. Cue look of shock. 2HP was still off from where I wanted it to be and my left thumb base still seems as though I've tweaked it.

Trained at Gymnation instead of Whey Consortium Gym as I needed to pick up some cash they owed me for an item I sold them. Started later than I would have liked due to over-sleeping and having Andy Bolton PM me via Facebook to compete in a grip competition.

@ Whey Consortium Gym
Today's session was all about getting the clamped-in-tight feeling in my hands. I didn't have it for the first few reps but the rest were better and better. I'll be upping the weight by 5.5-kilos next time (so 91.7kg becomes 96.7kg). I coached Naz between attempts.
