Plate Pinch

Last week I felt completely broken down and it was most likely due to overtraining, so I decided to take a break from Wednesday to recover a bit. Hitting the gym for almost two hours 5 days a week was perhaps also not ideal, so I also decided to also reduce my training volume for a while.

I decided to try a modified version of the Westside Barbell training method and is enjoying it thus far. Hopefully, even if I don’t really increase in size, my strength will increase a bit, which is always nice.

One of the exercises I did this morning was plate pinching (an exercise with the purpose of increasing your grip strength) and discovered my right hand is far stronger than my left. I think this is kind of a cool exercise and have never seen anybody else in the gym even attempting it. So check out the video below and give it a try!
