Taking this week off, but of course I had to do something. Did 4 1.5'' GHP block set closes with my 119 2.5 last night. Tried to get a good video but I just suck at filming closes.

[Buccos1]

Awesome stuff on the grippers! Looking very strong.

Great workout. Everything was stronger after my week off and the thick grip rows felt easy. One thing I find really cool is how tough the skin on my hands has gotten since I've started bending. It is literally like leather now. I need to use a loofa to wash my face in the shower LOL

[Anthony C.]

Pinch 1/14/2015

Sorinex 2'' Pinch block 2hp

1x125, 1/2x135, 1x135, 7x115

Sorinex 4'' Pinch block 1hp

Right: 3 holds with 48 lbs, roughly 5, 5 and 2 seconds respectively

Left: 3 holds with 48 lbs, 5, 3, 2 seconds

Blob drags with 41.8lb fatman

About 5 or 6 drags per hand. Then I did assisted lifts and took my off hand off and tried to hold on. This is my next block weight up from the Manna blob and it is a tall step up. Right now I'm far off from getting air under it but it too shall be conquered soon.

TTK

Right: 3x8x11.25, 23 second hold with 10

Left: 3x8x11.25, 25 second hold with 10 lbs

Awesome awesome workout. Decided to max with the sorinex block. I can lift less on this than I can with a wooden equivalent, and I believe 140 was my old max on the wood block. So I've definitely gotten stronger since the King Kong. Wide pinch is really coming along also. At the 4'' width, it just makes more sense to perform holds than reps. Very happy with my purchases from Sorinex.

[Anthony C.]

Had a massive entry typed out before with all of the updates from my training sessions this week and the god damn computer crashed. So there ain't no way I'm typing it again lol. I did legs grippers thick bar wrists and back. All went very well,the end haha.

[Royz]

Dude you are starting to overtake me with your overhead pressing.

Stop it!

Seriously, strong work bro.

Thanks man! I've been really focusing hard on that lift in particular the past few months. And hell no, I'm not getting stronger than you lol

[JoshW]

Strong pressing brother. Wish I could press above my head like that!

[Anthony C.]

New bending PR! I didn't take a video today because I thought the bend would take a while and I didn't have much space left on my phone. But I finished it off in about a minute. Very proud with this bend. My skin felt tough and my flexibility has improved a lot, letting me really get the most out of the strength I already have in my upper body.

[Anthony C.]

This week has been a little crazy....I went out of town for the entire weekend and wasn't able to work out. Then I did grippers Monday but being as I didn't rest much and didn't eat as much as I should have, my strength was down. Then, we were supposedly going to get hit with a huge snowstorm in New York and the gym closed for a few days as a precautionary measure. But we ended up getting a baby storm. I couldn't work out regardless lol. I did pinch this morning because the gym was still closed.

Monday January 26 Grippers, MMS all sets

Right: 1x114, 1x124, Miss x 140, 1x134, 1x134, 1x128, 2 holds with Extended handle TRex
