I didn't get a chance to reply before the previous thread was locked - attached. This is what Dr. Baraki asked:
Where? Ugh sorry for the vague term but, "inside" the forearm up a couple inches from the wrist to the elbow on the back of the arm, not in the belly or the top.
How much weight? Deadlift with straps is [email protected] RPE 8. I will warm up strapless to a few with 315, but that usually hurts and my grip will fail by three reps.
What kind of bar? Texas bar for deadlift when it is available - usually is. Occasionally it's a standard silver Olympic bar - big box gym standard issue I guess. When curling I will use a fixed weight EZ curl bar while holding at the centre portion that is fairly straight.
Grip? Palms back usually. On a whim I'll hold alternate though not very often as my working sets with straps are never alternate. Palms back when using the straps. No hook grip.
No chalk. Not allowed at this gym though I have seen it used and could probably get away with it.
Where does it hurt?
How much weight are you pulling?
What kind of bar are you using?
What kind of grip are you using when not wearing straps?
Are you using chalk?
