Although you're strong enough to lift whatever, if you haven't been practising the lift you can hurt yourself if you aren't careful. Powerlifting needs a very careful approach in my experience, as I've hurt myself in several different areas (back, shoulders, clavicle, chest, elbows, knee, traps, hammy etc etc) either being a drongo or just inexperienced. I just watched a tgu clip on yootoob. That would snap my wrists up in 2 seconds flat, even with no weight. Push-ups kill my wrists, I have to do them on my knuckles. Flexibility is key.

A small amount of staying off it and making my movements more careful from a "wrist" perspective, has helped immensely. It's easy to get complacent. Having "relations" 7-20 times per week, going to the gym 3 times a week and playing cricket once a week takes it's own toll haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/439/#findComment-1664951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kink Member 294 Member For: 16y 8m 11d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 04/10/18 06:37 AM Share Posted 04/10/18 06:37 AM I mix it up. Max deadlift I'm working my deadlift not grip so I wear straps. Same when max benching deffs using wraps. Gloves.. they are hit or miss dependent on sweat. All have their place in a gym imo. Just another tool when trying to maximize your time training.
