Figured I'd better start one of these up again. Last one went to pot after some things came up.

Grip (this was actually from yesterday):

BBE Attempts, all missed by 1mm or less :angry:, + some BFNs

#3, 2 sets of reps to failure, both hands, + ~10 BFNs

#3, 2 or 3 5-10sec overcrushes, both hands

Finished grippers up with some paused-set speed reps on the remounted 250 (~2.3),

just focusing on slamming the positive.

After that did something with the TTK...don't remember what it was, though.

I remounted and filed my hard 300 (it's a brick now), so I'm hoping a week or two of BTR-BFNs

with this will finish up that last mm on the BBE.

And this is from today:

Monday

Barbell Curls:

134lb x 3 sets of 5

Full Hammer Curls on triceps-bar (drop-sets):

Strict Barbell 21s (as burners)

1 set of 73lb

Bench Press:

Set 1 - 221 x 3, 221 x 2, 227 x 1

Set 2 - 227 x 3, 233 x 2, 239 x 1

Set 3 - 239 x 3, 239 x 2, 259 x 1

259 felt good enough to rep but, you know...that no-spotter thing :D

70lb x 4 sets x 10

Yeah, I've really been pretty lazy with bending lately. I just can't finish off that stupid 5 x 5/16 G2...

Guess I'd better get to work :D I'll start it up again after my MM2.

You won't have any trouble with the MM2, it's not a big jump from the MM1.

I don't know...it's got 6 marks on the top of it, though...

Naw, just kidding :D Really, I cut the head off, and I don't remember what brand it is. I'm thinking HKT, maybe?

HKT should be insane ... "BL" and "triangule" were the easier 5/16" i ever tried.

BJC and 307 sby were hard in my book.

i believe g8's would be perfect for u Frank!

why dont u give it a try??
