Do you have to do anything in particular to get your wrists to bear that weight? Or does that just come with the whole process of working up to that weight?

grip is weird in that you can't instantly develop a phenomenal grip from a couple cycles of steroids...sure, your grip can improve, but this is something built over time, doing the work, and there's a genetic component to it also

I'm curious because I think we have similar backgrounds - I'm a western PA farm kid, and my dad taught me to disdain sports and lifting because strength is for work and should be gained from work. I've had to get past that ethic, since I'm not a farmer.

But learning how many top wrestlers come from dairy farms, I think my dad was just a weirdo and overly moralistic. Did you have bias against athleticism as a bougie preoccupation that you had to unlearn?

No, we always lifted weights and wrestled and so on -- him, me, my brother. He went to WVU on a football scholarship, played semipro for three years after graduating from there. But we had no bias against work, I was expected to work hard and do my chores

Dino, I’ve lived with at least one man who thought the same as your father. Definitely a real working man’s ethic in France too.
