really happy with my OHP strength, was joke RPE, looking to 5 rep my BW at some point in the near future which would be neat. chest is rekt from those pushups and my serratus is really coming out. also the outline of 6 abs is visible when completely relaxed now.. just storing some fat low on my stomach which will take a little while to get rid of

Got heavy grip 200lbs to build my grip up for a 1 arm pullup. Want to get to the HG300 for reps then I'll have plenty of strength.
HG200:
Rx10 : Lx7
Rx8 : Lx4
Rx8 : Lx3
Right is way stronger even though I can only use 3 fingers.. hurts the hand tendons more than when I use all fingers on my left. When I get to sets of 20 I'll probably get the 250 and 300 lb set.
