Cut the straps now or you will forever have a grip problem, just keep lifting heavier and heavier and you will be fine. Also I doubt you can only pull 100kg, try for a proper max one day you will probably find you can do 150kg.
If you want big forearms you can't think straps are gonna help. Instead of spending time doing forearm extensions or other junk just hold the weight yourself.
dont want to say we told you so. keep lifting at that intensity level and increase weights constantly. Aplly the heavier lifting to all your lifts not just deadlifting.
yeah I will be focusing on lifting heavier in the next few sessions and see how I go. I guess something like deadlifts are a lot easier to try heavier weight, if its too much I can just drop it. If I've got too much weight on the bench though... different story :/
had that happen tonight while benching....sometimes you just have a bad night...from time to time things just dont work but if you consistently up your weight and push yourself with no excuses then you will succeed. as dkd said check form on all lifts. also are you squatting??
I was squatting 120kg, 3 times a week and started to feel it... I backed off for a couple of months and just doing 100kg to get the feel for it again.
I was doing a fullbody workout for the last 3-4 months. I've just gone back to a 2day split as of last week, so I wont be squatting 3 times a week anymore.
squat 3 days a week with no exceptions!!! this is where you will grow.....do you think big nick got so big by curling?? ask anyone on this forum if you should squat regularly and see what they say.
