About the LP, i had a tough week (stress, bad sleep, one day i didn't get all the protein). I tried 320 a few hours ago and i couldn't lift it from the floor. In addition, i tried the hook grip and felt incredibly well, i used it on every warm up set and even the work set, sadly it didn't felt secure enough, at least enough to lift the bar from the floor, i guess it was due to lack of previous exposure to it. I'll repeat the weight and probably try it with the alternative grip (i also did, but i guess it wasn't a good idea because i didn't warm-up with it) on next friday. I have another question, is it to much of a problem switching gyms and plates? My gym is moving away so maybe i'll have to change to one with iron plates made in my city (which means not calibrated) and they are obviously heavier than the rubber /bumper plates i have been using.
