Retatrutide Log: Grip Strength Failure & Maxing Out the Cable Stack (Day 21)

Day 21: New Year Crowds & Grip Strength Failure Today is Day 21 of daily vlogging my retatrutide weight loss journey. We are heading in for my favorite day of the split.. Back and Biceps.. but we ran into a major obstacle: The "New Year, New Me" crowd has officially taken over the gym. Because every station was packed, I couldn't get the lifting footage today, but we still got the work in. The New Year Swarm: The gym was standing-room only at 5 AM. I explain why I couldn't film and my plan to beat the crowd moving forward. Grip Strength vs Back Strength: My back strength is increasing faster than my grip can handle. Today I reached failure on grip before my lats gave out, so I’ve ordered straps to make sure the target muscle actually gets the work. Maxing the Stack: I officially graduated to the full stack on weighted cable crunches today. It’s time to pivot to the ab wheel because the machine can no longer provide enough resistance. Finrick Update: Still waiting on the email for the next testing round. I address the latest updates from their X account and when we might see movement.
