You may ask "why" do I use the double overhand grip in our training? About 10 years ago, I heard that Matt Rhodes keeps all of his college athletes from getting injured doing the deadlift this way.

You can never outlift your grip. (That fella is a gosh darn genius).

Since many of us aren't looking to PR on a platform, the grip becomes just as important as all the other muscle groups, PLUS try to keep your pinky and thumb locked together and see how easy it is to pull them apart from someone not as strong as you.

If you can't hold it, you can't lift it!

Safety first!!!

Today's Training:

Bike: 33 mins

Prowler: 10x 80 yds

Deadlift: 6 RM with a PRE=6. Then add 20 lbs and it should be a PRE=7; and for the last "working set" add 10 more lbs.

Front load the volume by taking small incremental increases in the beginning.

GHR: 4x10

Straight Single Leg RDL using a KB: 4x10

Bike Commute: 26 mins. Had a nice tail wind
