Out of interest, what's a "conditioned" #2? Conditioned as in seasoned (plenty of reps on it)?

Yep, "Seasoned" was the word I was looking for!

77.5kg 2" Axle one hand suitcase deadlift achieved today!

Good job on that 170lb one-hand Axle suitcase deadlift. What is your best 2-hand Axle deadlift?

Thanks!

I can pull 150kg double overhand in the axle deadlift.

I'm hoping to train more and lift the inch dumbbell (or replica) in the future.

80kg axle suitcase dead achieved.

Time for a change...

Hot hand bath.

Some good training there mate! How did that hot hand bath treat you?

Let me know when you get that 2.5.

Cheers!

It seemed to do the trick!

Whilst I've worked on my grip for some time now I've always overlooked working the wrists and just recently it dawned on me how weak my wrists actually are after being inspired by card tearing and only managing to tear 20.

I purchased a 10lb sledgehammer some time ago to perform sledge hammer levers but it seems I was a bit too confident since it was too much weight for me at any acceptable grip position on the handle.

Today it dawned on me that it was about time to start some levering with some kind of object to cover all bases of hand strength. An idea came about in an instant; use power rack catcher pins.

As luck would have it it fits snugly into a 1 inch standard plate (secured with a collar) to allow for progressive overload.

The pin can also double as a large loading pin for vertical bar lifts.
