About the gripper: It was 20 reps over an hour. I havent used it for a week or 2 because of my new barbell. I am careful not to overtrain my grip. I havent done much wrist work though...

About my routine: I haven't been keeping to a strict routine. I am trying to do either 5x5 or 10x3 though. Do you guys thing this is fine? I am trying to gain some mass and strength. I try to keep 5x5 for compound movements and 10x3 for most other things.

After my 1st time deadlifting my forearms hurt the next day. It was amazing! This bar is awesome. I trained my grip yesterday with about 20 reps through out an hour on the #1 CoC. It seemed too easy. I will walk around my office with it at the end of the day and challenge people.
