    The state of the powerlifting/strength forum

    When does your grip on a bar give? What was it originally?

    I mean double overhand. What is/was your grip like and how did you strengthen it? I find 200kg hard to hang on to but I can, just, for about 5-10 seconds.

    Which exercise has given you most muscle growth?

    Not really interested in theoretical discussion or what Ronnie/Jay do, I'd like to read people's personal experiences. Which exercise best helped you to develop a particular muscle? For example, "couldn't see any gains on chest/back/triceps until I started doing X".
