re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

As I continue to read this thread I realize how annoying my first post probably was but I still greatly appreciate the wealth of information on here and how much direction it has given me. Also I would like to add while never being strong I did spend my teenage years and early adulthood being overly obese for my frame topping out around 240 but have since been able to maintain a more healthy weight for several years. So as I continue to focus on building my strength I hope by asking better, more direct questions I will be able to get some valuable input.


I think my deadlift although continuing to climb is being held up by my overhand grip and I would definitely be able to knock out more reps if it wasn't for grip strength. Not really wanting to go to straps at all as I want my grip strength to continue to progress as well. Should I go ahead and switch to mixed grip and then later when I have to reset and drop go back to a double overhand and try to progress back up?

Also I would just like to add that next week I should be easily passing my last bench reset as I am only 2.5lbs away and still getting 9 reps on my AMRAP. This is very exciting cause although my lifts aren't impressive, in the past with some local bro knowledge I probably spent almost a year going into the gym and doing chest every Monday and and doing the same lifts every week and getting 3 reps of 165lbs then get spotted for two and just continue to bang my head against that every week. So I can't wait to pass that weight by in the next couple months. So again, thanks for all the time and effort you guys have spent on here to pass on knowledge to others. It's a great thing wish I would have been smart enough to stumble upon something like this 15 or 20 years ago.
