Although I am still making progress on my PTTP SLF user course program, I am reaching the limit of my grip strength at doubleoverhand. How do you decide whether to slow down a program and build form and grip or go mixed and keep the gains going?
So far, I seem to be doing OK on the pull but the bar slides into my fingers and I lose the grip on the descent, which is not a big deal as some people just drop the bar on the negative.
145KG is my 1RM at 75KG bodyweight. 110 KG are my working sets now at doubleoverhand. I have been adding 5KG every two now every three workouts. Reducing 15 percent when failing and repeating as per the manual. I have failed a cycle for both bench and DL twice but have been able to improve on the second try after reducing and building back up.
My goal is just to surpass my previous doublebodyweight 1RM lift at the end of March when I change my fitness focus to kettlebells/martial arts for fitness.
