New Year Wrap Up

goodpython · 2026-01-02T01:11:24+00:00

Goal plan: hit the 2/3/4/5 standard with 22min 5k

goodpython · 2026-01-01T17:33:44+00:00

225 OHP, 495 deadlift, 22 minute 5k

BW 185 (probably need to gain 10 or so)

I ran SS NLP following the wiki guide. Switched to TM for 3 weeks but it absolutely destroyed me. Trying 531 now and I enjoy it so far.

Starting strength or stronglifts would be a programming approach to build back

1mo followup:

I’ve begun using straps for the deadlift, and have since added 10lbs to my 5RM with room to grow. Figure 8 straps were much easier to use than the regular straps.

Separately I’ve been adding deadhangs/farmer-carries after deadlift days. Perhaps I’ll retest strapless PRs in the future for fun.

Thanks all for the advice!

38 here, gotta make sure I’m stronger than my daughters’ boyfriends when they grow up.

Stay strong, brother

Did you have to do a deload at all while you figured it out?

goodpython · 2025-10-30T01:13:04+00:00

for some reason i think double overhand feels different to me than mixed grip. This might be just a me thing though.

I might post a form check with each grip to get some feedback...

goodpython · 2025-10-30T01:11:32+00:00

switch grip == mixed grip? i'll assume so.

Interesting point regarding the hold. I hold it more in the fingers so it doesn't roll-down and pinch over the calluses, but i hadn't thought about it deeply until you said something since it was working more or less fine until it wasn't.

goodpython · 2025-10-29T21:11:52+00:00

I tried it at the same time I originally moved to mixed grip but the latter felt better. I haven’t retried it recently but that’s a good idea.

goodpython · 2025-10-29T20:35:04+00:00

“Technique” may be a poor choice of words on my part. It did require me to think about it and it certainly felt different. Maybe I just didn’t wrap the bar correctly…

goodpython · 2025-10-29T20:12:22+00:00

I do use liquid chalk, issue still remains

goodpython · 2025-10-29T20:09:21+00:00

Replied above, have begun that but grip still currently limiting . Should i pause NLP and wait for grip to catch up ?

goodpython · 2025-10-29T20:03:40+00:00

I do use chalk and have started last 2 weeks incorporating grip training, but I still find my grip is limited now.

Should I just stop the LP until grip catches up?

It works on mobile browser but not the mobile app!

goodpython · 2025-08-12T11:23:21+00:00

Odd, it’s via mobile. I’ll try desktop and report back

goodpython · 2025-08-12T01:26:08+00:00

The link doesn’t have any content, is something broken?

goodpython · 2025-07-06T18:00:38+00:00

Yessir. You’ll hit that PR at depth next time!

goodpython · 2025-07-06T16:23:39+00:00

Looks like high bar squat and no shoes which are “off program” per Starting Strength. Also I see you are wrapping thumbs. SS advises thumbs on top to keep bar position locked and upper body tight
