276.8

I finally got below 277, but i did not loose that much since yesterday! I was kind of pissed off but a little progress is still progress.
Grippers last night went okay. I added the magnet to the strap hold and still barely made it. My left hand is still so far behind my right hand. I can not even some close to closing the #2 with my left. It is over 10 mils easy. And on my right i got around 2 mils last night as my second warm up. I still think that is not bad considering it was the end of the week for the grippers so i was at my weakest PM workout. Considering at my best before this program i could close it 2-3 times but only with about 3-4 days rest.
We did our hard workout for presses last night and it went along pretty easy. (no sat workout this week so i skipped the medium day) and inbetween the presses i bumped my pull ups to sets of 5 with the think rubber band. i felt really strong again on pull ups. I think i can move down to the next size band real soon. If it goes good again next Monday, i may try it next Thursday. Just because how easy the first couple of reps feel, i'm ready.
We tried something new before the pullups this week. Bolb lifts. Yup and they actually kept on increasing during the work out. I started by juggling the 25. That was not bad until the chalk rubbed off, then there was no chance to grab it. Next round i did a full dead lift with the 37.5 with my right. My left actually broke it off the ground, barely!!! The next round i was feeling good so i did the 40 to a full deadlift with my right for the first time. Yes!!! So for the last round i tried the 42.5 and i actually got it to about an inch off the ground. OMG i can not believe how far i am progressing with these blobs. It must be from the Dynamic Thumb exercises during the gripper workouts. It's the only thing that makes sense.
