Blackdog Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well, I am still alive. Something come up in my life and all gripwork items will need to go. So get ready for the big sale!!! 'Times they are a changin'. It was fun but sometimes one needs to make a 90 degree turn. I will post with items soon has I get ready to be packed etc. Bryce This quote is when I found out my body had Lyme Disease and all the symptoms I was experiencing was extremely scary. I went to a very dark place in my mind..... I have been fighting for years and I am winning. I'm back working out and getting very strong. I feel good! I am only mentioning this for those that have similar issues or things they are working out! Keep on keeping on! This world is for growing and learning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 So I received new fatgrips from CPW. I will play with these on my rolling thunder days, which is twice a week, and also on my dead and squat days, which is 3 times a week.

Blackdog Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm posting this to see what your views are on this. Maybe poke holes in what I am doing or tips etc. My gripwork program: -I work grip 6 days a week. It's implemented into my full body circuit training throughout the week. -Monday, Thursday: Supporting grip Rolling Thunder 3 @ 5 sets, Fatgrips on dumbell lift 3 @ 5 sets 25 lb sledgehammer on tractor tire work.... 10 hits with each hand @ 5 sets " " - wrist work with hammer -Tuesday, Friday: Pinch Grip 45lb hub lifting with added weight ... 3 @ 5 sets each hand 25lb plates with added weight - 3 @ 5 sets each hand -Wednesday, Saturday: Crushing Grip Gripper - singles, doubles and holds with many grippers Titans Telegraph - 5 @ 5 sets for two different movements on each thumb All my grip work I work the opposing muscles in the hand after exercise. So extensors are being worked throughout all this a lot!!! I stretch regularly too. So far I have been keeping away from injury, I used to get tennis elbow a lot. I feel this program is really working my hands at a constant progression without injury. I use my hands all the time because I am a massage therapist. Any tips or thoughts will be appreciated. I feel my crushing strength is increasing the slowest but it is increasing. I have not done choker work on grippers yet.

Blackdog Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 So... as mentioned before Hub Lifting is my fav grip thingy. I just like the feeling of using my hand as a claw. This is my recent recorded personal record. I'll have double 55 soon... then on to 60. Today I did crushing grip. Smacked a 117 CPW gripper which is new for me. Just ordered Cadence Gripper training from Diesel also. My supporting and pinch is slowly moving up but I want to take my crushing up another notch. Lets see how the Cadence training goes. Here's my recent record.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 So tonight I introduced the biggest powerlifter in our gym to The Rolling Thunder. He never touched it before and pulled 210 lbs on it!!! I was impressed. He is a big guy. He pinched two 35s too! He never worked on grip, but he is a big deadlifter. I told him about the Gripboard so he might jump on at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Shazam!!!! I'm back at it again! Been gripping for a while but off and on and now getting serious again. I was hardcore for a while then I got Lyme Disease. 7 years of that and bam!!... knocked it out. It's been a year now of no symptoms. Been doing some cleanses to clean out my system from years of antibiotics. I did so many things to and experimented on my body to knock it out, herbs etc etc etc. Anyways, back to the original topic...GRIP!!! Feeling good. Biggest feat currently is picking up 45 lb hub lifting with 15 extra pounds...total of 60. Starting to get back into grippers. And am dreaming about the Inch, so I bought Wrist Wrench and am in the process looking for a used FBBC Crusher 2.5. Some of my items were stolen at the gym... grrr!!!... .. New owners and better security now so it's all good. So just saying hi to y'all. I'm going to try to check in here at times more regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
