I've been seeing those fat grip sets added.
What specifically is your intent with that? I understand the theory behind the farmer's walk and whatnot, but what's your mass and strength goal for them?"The code of Bushido is harsh and relentless."

Will make a video to fully explain
Thanks a lot man!
I actually do several things for the most part:
1.) False grip
2.) Chin on chest (not over exaggerated but just enough)
3.) Back arched
The contraction I've found by doing those 3 things is 100x better than without them!
Thank bro!!!
Just got a shipment of supplements in the other day! Check out what I got! I'll be doing reviews on all 3 products!
