IROC-Z Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I feel much better already.. I seemed to have recovered quick. I went out into the garage pissed from todays workout and wanted to finally get my coc#3 no set video for the gripboard stats and records section. Felt good so I played with the blob a bit and glob. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SAVI54U7HA That looked way too easy for you! Nice job Chris!

Thanks Ben. I havent given up on bending but I keep putting a red through my leather and they look like swiss cheese. If I ever get off my ass Ill order some wraps or get some from those lady stores that sell leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get off my ass Ill order some wraps or get some from those lady stores that sell leather. Good to hear about the bending! You'll roar through a lot of big milestone bends in no time with your type of strength. I would NOT recommend buying leather from Michael's or any other craft store. Just not solid enough for guys that can bend big steel. FBBC wraps are good quality! Saw a few pairs at the BBB4 and meant to buy some.

zemkebs Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What did Zemke do while you worked out? took notes. And when we were done with our workout we had a nice dinner for two. We sat at the smallest table I've ever seen and were surrounded by females. I'm pretty sure everyone in the restaurant thought we were gay.

I would like to see what I could do if I trained for it but I dont want to set a number right now. 10/19 5 min treadmill shoulder band warmup 8"Log jerk from rack 90x8 160x5 210x3 240x8 250x5 250x4 DE Bench 185x8x2 40 -sec rest Overhead log tricep extension 90x2x8 blue band overhead x1 min pressed vertical x1 min Overall work capacity has to come up. Ive spent too long doing 1-3reps. You will see alot of PR's because im starting to track 1-8rm on most lifts but as time passes they should thin out and will be true PR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly. im nowhere near my max, grip wise, on the DB rows. I am just working my way up 5lbs per week. I think I have the 150's x20 in me easily. Just working up weekly.. When I do hit a ceiling with either grip or back strength.. Ill adjust.. I might even hit a wall with back strength first. Maybe one day my body will catch up to my hands.

Chris Mathison Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 10/27 Warmup 800m concept 2 @ 6 Dyn. hip stretches Frontsie squats 135x5 225x5 315x3 belt 365x1 405x1 - easy. could have had a 20lb Pr me thinks but backed off for reps 315x10 335x8 340x6 nice session on these. They are all true PR's because I never repped front squats past 5. Wussbone kinda came out on the 340x6.. should have been 8. This also builds alot of confidence about pulling big on the 8th. A frontsquat PR always means im going to pull big soon and vice versa.. Its like clockwork for me. Previous FS pr was 405 for a grinder.. this one was easy and deep. Hamstring curls 156x3x8 Single leg RDL 45x8 each 135x8 each core and stretching. On the single leg RDL's when I went righty I leaned outward on my foot alot. I couldn't keep my foot flat when driving back up.. I would press hard on the outside of my foot. wasnt so bad lefty but right was bad.. any thoughts?

I say balance, so just keep working on it and you'll probably get better. Make sure your hips aren't shifting real far one way or the other.
