53 (right and left hand

60 minutes of fun and games. 

I have been wanting to play with the Mark Bell Slingshot I got and I do really like how it feels to have assistance off the chest and then press.  I think it could build confidence having a certain load on board.  The Bandbell was brutal today.

I have been buying grippers but not using them.  Nice to get a solid close on a 71.

Chest Expander.  I bought one and started learning the lifts.  I think I am going to switch to testing my max and training a couple of pulls once/week and posting to the Facebook Group.

Finally King Kong prep.  Starting with the 1-5/8" thumb blaster.  My first attempts were pretty solid working up to 53 pounds.
