Blackdog Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Monday I am on the fifth day of using Creatine for the first time. Last day of the 'loading' phase. Man, this stuff is bloating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Still running my experiment with using thickbar throughout my normal weightlifting regiment; biceps, pullups, deads, squats, rows, etc. Forearms have been pumped for a while. Actually when I hit some PRs for hubbing elbow tendonitis came with it. This upcoming week no grip, contrast baths, and stretching. Don't want to mess around and get nerve problems like I did in the past. Lower back is getting better. Stopped running and powerwalking for the moment. Need to start iceing it regularly.

Blackdog Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Haven't posted in a while. Have Tennis Elbow at the moment. Stopped all gripwork and letting this heal up. After haveing the nerve problem a while back I learned when the body says take a break listen. Since my work entails a lot of physical movement I will save my energy for that. So basically I am in rehab mode. Looking forward to coming back to grip. Will still do weight lifting and aerobic. Adios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Haven't said anything in a while on the log. Thought I need to start rolling again. Still healing up on from Tendonitis. Slowly getting better. Stopped everything. Will start coming back tommorrow. Enjoying Gripboard like usual, all the inspiration is great. Two things I really want to get back to are Hubbing and gripping. In that order. Haven't really got into the TENS machine. Will start a routine this weekend. Plus getting the Contrast Baths on a schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Okay I need to get full force into a regiment of healing. This tendonitis will be a thing of the past. Here is a my recovery plan: 1. Stop coffee (I have been going full blast for a while. I will try cold turkey I know the headache will come....so be it) 2. Drink lots of water throughout the day 3. Megadose on vitamin C 4. Eat a lot more salad 5. Do recovery workouts for elbow tendonitis 6. Use the TENS daily (more than once a day if possible) 7. Contrast baths 8. Get off my butt and do ab work and aerobic, no weights yet..... 8. Above all stay positive!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 So... back at it again.. will try to get more regimented in my training of grip. I have been a massage therapist for 3 1/2 years and doing grip is really great with this added occupation. I am doing grip 3 times a week... pinch, supporting, crushing... just playing around at the moment.. will get more regimented and focused soon. I am hub lifting 45 with added 2 1/2 lbs now to full lock out.. happy about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nothin' super special on this workout log... I am getting 45's hub lifted all the way up now, and holding for time on both sides. I would like to take video and pics of this and also do a double 45 hub lift... haven't tried or done that yet. More to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yes! Just broke a personal record. I will take a pic and post video hopefully next week. 2 -45 plates hub lifted together to full extension, with added 2 1/2 lbs... and I held it for time!!! I am excited...

Blackdog Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Gonna start up this training log again. Currently, I am training grip 6 days a week. Supporting one day, pinch next, crushing next, repeat. Im working extensors all those days. My hands are getting stronger in a well rounded way it feels. I am holding a 45 lb hampton plate, hub pinch grip, with 4 2.5 lbs added. total of 55 lbs for a few seconds now. Today I held two 25s pinch grip for a few seconds each hand. Rolling Thunder is getting better.160 for a couple seconds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I just found out there is a Crushed to Dust Challenge. As soon as my Rolling Thunder gets up to speed I will be successful. 1. I can close #2 2. I can hub lift 60 now... so 45 is not a prob 3. I'm at 160 on Rolling Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
