Thanks both of you, that's useful.

Gripping too hard during pull ups can definitely limit your performance. Tension in all the wrong places.

I trained in a place for a while that had a bar on top of the power rack with incredibly aggressive knurling. I found sets of 5 muscle ups relatively easy at the time but it would be bye bye hands afterwards and bye bye pretty much anything like deadlifts until they healed.

I was absolutely shattered this weekend so I'm leaning towards me being generally smashed last week.
