Decided to change my grip on this lift from relatively close (hands inside the rings) to really wide (index finger on the rings). I was expecting it to be more difficult. This was the result..

135x10, 185x 8, 225x5, 245x3, 275x1, 315x1, 345x1, 365x1, 405 (completed it but hit the pins upon lockout)...dropped to 395 and completed it for 1 rep.... Increased a total of 70 pounds on the lift just by moving my hands out....

Something to Ponder...

"The immature mind compares itself with what is and what should be, but it is only the immature mind that compares. The mature mind has no comparison, the mature mind has no measure."
