Week 2 Day 7 – How To Use Weight Lifting Straps
Hello and thanks for tuning into my bodybuilding blog videos. It’s kind of strange even calling it a bodybuilding blog because I’m just starting out.
Week Two of Muscle Gain Truth
I’ve just finished the second week of the Muscle Gain Truth formula, and I’ve done all of the workouts twice.
Yesterday I finished the back workout, and it was the first time that I tried using weight lifting straps on my wrists when I was doing the dead-lifts and the shoulder shrugs.
This brand of weightlifting straps claims on the package that the rubberized edge is supposed to go against the bar and wrap around when you are doing your lifting. But I’ve seen a guy on YouTube who says the rubberized weightlifting straps should be used the other way so the smooth side is wraps around on the bar, this way you can twist the strap on the bar and tighten it up so it’s the right length before you start doing your lift with it.
When I was working with them, I was having a hard time figuring out how to have the smooth side against the bar and still have the loop fit correctly around my wrist.
So I’m pretty noobie at weightlifting when I’m having a hard time figuring out the weight lifting straps.
… but that’s ok…
So far I’ve found that when I’m doing the workout and I follow with my little book that has the workouts written in it, I find that when I’m done the workout, I’m actually feeling a little disappointed that I should be feeling more exhausted after the workout… it’s been too quick.
But then the next day the muscle stiffness starts to set in, and the following day even more stiffness sets in so I know I’m doing something right.
The next thing to do, to see that I’m doing right, is to make sure that I have protein into my body every two to three hours so I’m always continuing the growth process while I’m out of the gym.
This is Week 2, and every couple weeks I’ll stand up and take my shirt off and hopefully, over time we’ll start to see a difference. My buddy was telling me that my belly is probably bigger than it was, I’m putting on weight everywhere… today I weighed myself and I’m 191.4 lbs. I’ll weigh myself more regularly and see how my weight goes up. That’s not something I’ve done regularly – is to weigh myself.
