not dumb at all man. it is a neutral grip bar with different grip spaces. i use a different grip on each set of progression:

my gym has a couple different grip attachments but it is such a pain to switch them out from set to set so i picked this bad boy up. it is def a very good piece of equipment to have for pulldowns low rows curls and even assisted pullups. so it is def worth its weight in gold and it is very freaking heavy haha

this was an absolutely nasty brutal leg day. i mean i wrecked myself something fierce. squats were excellent i kept speed all the way up to 405 for 6 and then lost it on the last 2. the hacks did me in and i was on the brink of throwing up from the 3d set on. those 5sec pauses are absolutely freaking brutal. all in all a great workout and now i am toasted and looking forward to a pizza or 2 tonight haha. that and some football

you take your knee wraps and wrap them with a tightness of 7 out of 10 with 10 being tourniquet tight. you put your wraps as high up on the leg as possible starting on the inside and wrapping out. now synch them puppies down and do your leg extensions and leg curls then take them off. the pump builds and builds but isnt able to come out. it is killer and places no strain on the cns either which is a very good thing. you can also do this with calves and arms very effectively. it is very very brutal and you have to have the mental discipline not to take them off between sets. it is hard not to want to take them off haha trust me. half the pump will still be in the area the following day also

got in really really early today which in itself sucks ass because i only got one meal in and the cobwebs still hadnt completely cleared out. i started a new preworkout today also called esp or something like that. well low and behold it is pretty nasty pump wise because first set after my warmups my whole back and shoulders were uncomfortably pumped. then move on to the hypers and the pump was damn near crippling. we got in and got it cranked out in just over an hour. overall great session and i am getting ready to move into deloading for a bit after this week wraps up. my carpal tunnel is also killing me as a side note.

done for the day. my bicep is a little ill tempered so i went a little easier on them. now with that said that new preworkout makes the pumps hurt pretty freaking bad and even on the first warmup set my arms filled up to a painful level. good day in and out really quickly. not a normal day of eating for me so my last 2 meals will be will thanksgiving foods such as turkey ham sweet potato casserole etc....... so not to far off what i normally eat but with quite a bit more cals than usual. call it a refeed if you will like all the diet cheaters do lol.
