1. don't use gay as an insult. not a good look.
2. do "natural" GHRs, where you put your knees on a pad and stick your feet under something stable (or have someone hold them in place). if you can, you know, get over the gay panic of having another dude touch you. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh9hiA65AW4
3. there are different kinds of grip strength, and a bajillion ways to work on it. DB shrugs, captains of crush, squeezing a tennis ball, pinching stacks of 10lb plates, whatever. just dedicate some time to it a couple of days a week.
4. hip thrusts and bridges are also a good way to build glute strength. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvBTGx5zu5I

do your calves really go up and down in size that much when you're doing raises vs. when you're not?

yesterday (saturday):
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle and right thumb - neither is really healed
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ x a bunch, SLRVJ x a bunch
really good, 34-35 off DLRVJ which is not awesome, but felt powerful. couple of two-hand-ish grabs. SLRVJ was inconsistent but also pretty good, i hit 30.5 off L and 30 off R a few times each.
- DB jump squat 45s x 4; 25s x 4,4,4
- superset x 3
-- assisted natural GHR x 10
-- pull up x 7
- stretch
gonna drop squatting to once or maaayyybe twice per week for a while, see what happens. weight work for legs will be jump squats, unilateral shit, and p-chain shit.

i have arthritis in the old metatarsophalangeal joints (big toes on both feet). there is no recovery, only adaptation until they get good enough at replacing that joint to make surgery worthwhile.
ETA: unrelated to my pic but i've sprained my right ankle 6-7 times. recovery has varied a lot but i do know a fair amount about it at this point. actually one of those injuries was what precipitated my getting interesting in training in the first place.
