That sounds painful.......

[alB5]

How did you manage that?

80lb preacher curl with full ROM. Bad idea, pulled a tendon on my pinky side of my wrist. Can't pick up anything Palm up without severe pain. I also used to wide of a grip and it was the nail in the coffin I guess.

[IronFreak]

you guys make me jealous, hurt my wrist preacher curling with a straight bar and am out for a few days :(

nice numbers all!

Been watching this for a while but never particpated but I figured this is another way for me to reach a goal soo I am going to start posting.

Calf Raises(i did standing so do i add into account my body weight or just the weight on the bar?)= 5400(just bar) or 9360(adding body weight)

Welcome. As for calf raises standing, I would just count the weight on the bar not including your body weight. But ultimately it is up to you.

I wear gloves for hygiene I have been to a few different gyms were there was blood or mucus on a few barbells. I don't want whoevers, what ever they have. I have plenty of calluses on my hands from working. I wear wrist straps because they seem to help me.
.

Thats just freakin gross. I'm happy with my gym, they keep it REALLY clean, never ran into that. I don't wear gloves, never have, about as close as I get to that is wrist straps on back days for some movements because we are not allowed to use chalk.

Heavy weight will make your hands sore. Please don't were gloves........I do wear wrist wraps on pressing days as I have broken both wrists back in HS.

Some people seem to really like using gloves for going heavy, I personally just use wrist straps. Still manage to hurt the hell out of them, I need to take it light for a week or so, doing forearm exercises to strengthen it all up.

Ordered this thing yesterday also, may as well even though it can't be completely accurate.

[IronFreak]

I don't even like having two people in my car let alone if I weighed 250 pounds.

Thats why my e30 is in the process of being powered my a turbo'd LS motor. Weight will never be an issue. I also have about 3 times as much moeny wrapped into my suspension then what I paid for the car. Because racecar.

Good advice. I try not to compare myself, but inevitably I do sometimes.

I personally am horrible at dumbells. I had a bad experience with someone incorrectly spotting me and dropped a weight on me. I haven't done much of them since then. Starting up again though.

Another thing is, I really need to work on my form. Was doing bench yesterday and I felt it a lot in my arms rather than chest. I tend to cheat when I'm doing a lot of weight.

Does anyone have problems with their hands starting to hurt?
