This is most likely the thumbguard you speak of. I use one and really enjoy it. It (in theory at least) is supposed to position the bat so you grip it with your fingers rather than with your palm (If that makes sense). It can take a bit of getting used to so if you do decide to get one I'd definitely hit up a batting cage or take some bp to get some hitting reps in.
Prohitter, it's a device that helps your grip which is MLB legal.
> What are your actual lifts?
I've been plateaued for a couple of months. I also keep re-injuring my shoulder despite numerous form checks. Probably from years of pitching a baseball. My body cannot handle much more as is.
All 5 reps: BP:170 / SQ: 285 / DL: 335
Reminder - I started with the bar 1 year ago without ever lifting in my life.
>you need to eat bro.
Yeah, I know. I have had trouble with this my whole life. Visiting a frat bro this summer he saw me for the first time in a couple of years. He looked at me and said, "What the fuck, dude? You're jacked as fuck now." His wife chimed in (who I also have known for 20 years), "Yeah he is! I can hardly believe it. You look great! Back in college you never ate and just smoked cigarettes!"
It's been a lifelong struggle, one I've gotten much better at since MRP.
> you may need some pharmaceutical assistance to get there.
See dude, I love a great game of baseball and a good southern BBQ. Both of which are very "purist" in their nature, like me. I hate even that thumb shit the pros wear now. You can't go fucking around with bats, balls and BBQ methods. They are what they are and the challenge is in the rules. I like the challenge.
But I've challenged this mindset with myself for a year. My T-levels are mid 400's, which are low. I'm genetically small framed, as is my entire family. I'm also very happy with my current mindset, and I really don't want to (potentially) go fuck that up with non-natural things. I also don't like being dependent on those things for the rest of my life. I take everything I can that is natural.
I also know that it might be the only way to reach lofty goals given my circumstances and I might have to abandon some of that purist mindset in some parts of my life to get there. I don't like that one bit. That's not being stubborn, it's adhering to my core principles of who (I think) I am.
Decisions to be made, for sure.
