on another note, DL 126kg = strong back. what is that? 1.75 your body weight? you should feel confidence in your back (but do what you discuss with your coach obvs).

Thanks. 126 was 1.7x bodyweight. Grip strength is becoming an issue with double overhand, so it's time to try reverse grip... Hopefully that's workable because hook grip is like slamming your thumb in a door 😳

I'm certainly a lot more confident with my back, but Quadratus Lumborum still stays on way too much. Just not painful spasms so much now 😀

Hook grip is your friend. Bite the bullet and get on with it. It works.

Tried hook grip again for Deadlift 😥
Survived the warmups to 90kg but its still bloody awful. Didn't fancy trying 3x5@ 107 with it, but reverse grip may be workable.
