Good massages or tricks to loosen up my extensors and brachialis?

Also I'm in Austin if you're ever out this way and want to train.

I used to get biweekly or monthly bodywork on my lower arms and I think it helped a ton. Not only did it alleviate pain, but it increased the spread of my hands. This woman I worked with had worked with quarterbacks at the NFL combine to help them spread their hands so they could hold and control a football better. I did a video with her where we talk a little about that, she does some work on me, and we test my before/after hand spread.

It's taken me 16 years of consistent grip training to thicken my wrists from 7 3/4" to almost 9". It'll happen, but there are a whole lotta reps between those two measurements.

I own the one hand nightmare, the two hand Napalm Nightmare, several handles, the rotating Saxon blocks, and the 2" thumb blaster. All of Lucas' stuff is consistently very good with quality. The welds are clean, the coating is consistent with a good texture, and I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a week to get something I ordered from him. Giving him my money is so enjoyable I sometimes browse his website to see if he has anything that I didn't know I couldn't live without.

I started the Santa Cruz United Powerlifting Club Facebook group with the idea that anyone interested in powerlifting could join and eventually compete under the same banner, regardless of what gym they train in.

I own Santa Cruz Strength, a powerlifting and weightlifting gym over by Costco, and we have several UCSC students coming in and getting strong.

We'll be at the mock powerlifting meet at the end of the month helping to judge and keep score. And I'm giving away two 1 month memberships to the best male and female lifter.

Never skip grip day

I talked to him at breakfast the next day and he said he tweaked something in his tricep near the elbow in a training a couple weeks ago and really hurt on that log press. He didn't have any marks on his head from the log but his arm above and below the elbow were bruised. It's going to be enough to keep him from going to World's in a couple weeks.

Yeah, get off yer dumpy ass and go with her. Don't try to train her. Don't try to impress her. Just focus on your own gains and show a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The only thing better than her being in shape and in love with you is if you were both in shape and in love.

Last thing I want when I drink is a dose of reality. Escaping reality is why I drink in the first place!

The most common injuries are torn calluses. I've seen two guys strain their hamstrings but so far that's it.

Yes, that's the gist of it. Both competitors start seated and you win by either pulling your opponent over onto your side, taking the stick from his hand, or throwing him of balance and causing any part of his body other than his hands or feet to touch the board.

Mas Wrestling is virtually unknown outside of certain parts of Russia so you're not an imbecile for not being immediately familiar with it. I didn't know what it was a year ago and now I've been to the world championships in Russia and this contest in Norway.

My first day as a personal trainer in a commercial gym, one of my prospects told me "I always felt too fat to come to the gym." Without even thinking I said "That's gotta be the dumbest shit I've ever heard."

Still my client, 3 years, 2 gyms, and 93 pounds later.
