    I can do 2.01 mins but on a normal width bar. It was using a normal grip but I do oly lifting so hook grip everything usually - don’t know if that’s improved my grip? My programme also has hanging leg raises and pull ups with leg raises so that must all help I guess!

    I remember reading something recently that said that grip strength is heavily correlated with back strength. If true, I have to imagine those guys that dead-lift all day everyday are basically monkeys with their grip.

    That’s interesting - I do have a strong back 🤔

    Always admire the posterior chain musculature of an Oly lifter. Trained in the lifts a dozen years ago and what a great experience and memory.
