Hi Joe! I am new to your program and am loving it so far! I am currently following a beginners program with upper and lower days a few times a week with one rest day in between. I am currently having issues with my grip that are causing me to bail mid working set. Even though I consider myself a beginner, the weight training world is not brand new to me. I feel I have always had a grip issue. My hands and wrists just feel pretty weak in general. I work a desk job and am typing all day – I feel that might have a little to do with it.
So for example: today I completed the MILF Maker Upper workout. Somewhere around my second working set of Wall/Rack hammer curls my hands are on fire and failing miserably. I am getting frustrated bc I want to keep going and am trying to pay close attention to form and intensity, but it is taking every ounce of focus to simply hold onto the damn DB.
I am just looking for some advise on what I can do to not just improve my grip strength, but maybe some therapy and/or preventative care stuff that will help with the failure/pain. Any ideas of what could be causing this issue? On recovery days should I be rolling out my forearms? Should I be doing some extra stretching or wrist/grip therapy type stuff?
I just want to f*** train and this is holding me back. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Also, thanks so much for the amazing content!
