John McCarter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 John "Chuck Norris Killer" McCarter's hub lift of 100+ inspired me to really get my ass in gear for this final month leading up to the KK. Reading that almost made me spit my drink out onto my computer, lol. I hope you and everyone at King Kong pull great numbers. It will be my first comp and I really don't know what to expect. I'm also glad that what I did with the hub has inspired you to work harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony C. Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Last night's training Grippers R: Close miss x 138 gm, 1x 135 hg300, Time hold with 119 2.5, 8x102 2 L: Hold 118 M, Hold 109 2, random closes with 2 1hp wooden block R: 8x57.5, 4x62.5, 2x65, 9 second hold 57.5 L: 5x57.5, 1x62.5, 6x57.5 Hub R: 1x44.25, 3x44.5 2 hols with 44.5 L: Miss 44.5, 2x42, 2 holds with 44.5 Also tried doing some heavy negatives, where I use my off hand to help lift the hub, and then guide it down to the floor. Went pretty heavy on those. Well, grippers are not getting stronger for the moment, but pinch and thick bar is, and I'm cool with that, FOR NOW. After the KK, grippers are getting closed.

Electron Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 So how did your timed holds go? 18s is still my PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony C. Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 So how did your timed holds go? 18s is still my PR. This time I did it without the coin because I was lazy, so I didn't time it. It definitely wasn't 18 or more, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony C. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Got to the gym late last night and so I didn't log anything down, but I did one of my basic full body workouts. One cool thing I got was a 40 second hold on the shrug machine with iron bulls, with 135 a side. Thick bar is getting stronger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony C. Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Been busy the past few days but I haven't been slacking on working out, only on updating the log. October 2 Grip Grippers Right: 3x2.5 119, 3x2.5 119, 2x2.5 119, 5xM 114 ALL REPS 20mm block set Left: 3x2 109, 1xghp5 113, 3x2 109, 5x2 102 ALL REPS 20mm block set Setting training with 156 mm2 replica, both hands Right: 4xcoc2 102 with 1.5'' block set, 50 mms reps coc 1.5 Left: 10xcoc1.5 with 1'' block set TTK Right: 10x10, 8x10, 6x10, 6x10, 4x10, 46x5 Left: 8x10, 6x10, 4x10, 4x10, 4x10, 50x5 Full body training last night: DO Sumo Deads 1x310, 1x310, 1x310, 1x310, 3x310 Seated overhead barbell press 6x145, 5x145 Freebar Tbar row 8x170, 6x170, 10x150 V Attachment chin ups 12 Incline hammerstrength press 2x135, 7x115, 4x115, 4x115 per side Seated dumbbell curls 5x40, 5x40, 4x40 Incline dumbbell extensions 12x30, 12x30, 10x30 Pretty good workouts! I think I'm going to train block sets for a while on grippers as it's just nice to know how wide my set is every time, and I think the pause helps build strength. Gripper strength in both hands felt better this time around. Also was very happy with my deadlift strength and form; I've been doing a rigorous hip stretching and strengthening program at night.

Anthony C. Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Grip tonight: 1HP wooden block Right: 5x65, 1x70, 1x71.25, 7 second hold with 60 Left: 4x60, 1x65, 2x66.25, 3 second hold with 60 HubRight: 8x42, 4x44.5, 1x45.75 Left: 4x42, 1x44.5, 3x42 Lots of sidewinder This was a bleh workout. Pinch just doesn't get my CNS firing. That being said, my numbers on 1hp are much improved and I got some PR's today on it. I just can't seem to gain on my hub. It may be the order in which I'm doing it in the workouts, but I'm not sure that I'm gonna be able to beat my last contest's PR of 55 this time. Actually, I may come in much lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony C. Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Have a nasty cold and I thought I could get in a workout today but after warmups I realized I was quite mistaken. Could hardly breathe due to stuffy nose and my eyes were watering like crazy. So i called it and went home. Hoping to be able to get a session in on Wednesday.

Anthony C. Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Trained grip last night: Grippers: Don't quite remember exactly what I did. The highlights were missing a coc 3 attempt, getting 2xBBSM 128 with 20mm block set, and off hand closing my 114 BBM with a block set as well. Rolling thunder Right: Four 10 second holds with 105 Left: Four 10 second holds with 105 Extensors Not bad. Was short on time as I got home from work very late, but I'm feeling much better and my cold is gone. Gym tonight for a full body session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
