Road To Crushing The Blob And Pinching The No.3


Anthony C.

Recommended Posts

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.

:laugh 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.

Thanks man! It'll be my second, and I flubbed my first, so I'm looking to do better this go around.

You have always been one of the guys here that inspires me to train harder and to get stronger!

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.

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

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!

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

Freebar Tbar row

V Attachment chin ups 12

Incline hammerstrength press

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.

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

Hub
Right: 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 :angry2:

Thanks, Parris. Absolutely...now I know where I need to start my attempts so I can get on the board with some points.

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.

Hopefully you can get some rest and slaughter it on Wednesday.

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.
