PeterSweden Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Warmup, 8kg kettlebell press 2x10 and light bicep curls Then I alternated between heavier and heavier bicepcurls and handstandpushups, I didnt keep track of weights and reps on the curling part but the handstandpushups against a wall (bw 220lbs) was 6, 4, 5, 4 and 3. Then I did like 150 regular pushups in 4 sets. Was totally exhaused from HS pushups. Grippers; 5@coc1 3@coc1,5 1@coc2 Left hand attempt, cheatclose and negatives; 1@GHP6 1@BB GM 1@GHP6 1@BB GM, Left hand OC 5+ seconds; 1@filed CoC2 2x1@CoC1,5 Right hand attempt, cheatclose and negatives; 1@GHP8 1@BB E 1@GHP8 1@BB E Right hand OC 5+ seconds; 1@GHP6 1@RB260N filed 2x1@CoC2 60mm wrist roller set up in my rack, up/down both ways, once, @22kg, 32kg and 42kg. Brutal pump and fatigued beyond belief. Now some extensions with IM rubberbands. Note: I think that heavy biceps might be a dumb idea before gripper-training cause you have to squeeze that dumbell like a mother fcuker and that will tire the hands... No more gym training, mostly bw-training from now on!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Today I did my first real bw session for back. Bodyweight 225lbs~102kg Chinups, alittle wider than shoulder width palms forward: 5, 6, 5 Close grip pullups, palms towards my face; 4, 4, 4 3x1 static/negative chinups, alittle wider than shoulder width palms forward. Descended slowly, stopping as much as I could as often as I could on the way down. Felt nice to do really slow negatives. Tried EZ bicep curls but my forearms hurt from this, I can only do hammercurls or dumbellcurls for biceps.. I only got 10 reps @ 26kg, easy weight. Loaded up the dumbell and did 3x6@21kg each arm. Man was I tired from the chin/pullups. Reverse bicepscurl, palms down, 3x6@36kg And then I did some rows with the EZ-bar 2x10@26kg, easy but I was so tired in my lats from chinnig that these rows gave me a pump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Warmup 2x10 with 8kg kettlebell (I dont have any heavier kettlebells........) Handstand pushups; 6, 4, 5, 5. Better than last week. Dips between 3 chairs; 30,22, 20. Then press 1x40 reps each hand with the 8kg kettlebell, just for the hell of it. Then 3x12 side lateral raises with the same kettlebell supersetted with purple band pull-aparts 3x20. After that I tried my friends TRX and did some tricepwork. Saturdays workout will be tomorrow instead cause my friend cant train on saturday and he really wanted to join in. I thought that I'd do, 50 bw squats, 50situps, 50 walking lunges, 50 twisting situps, 50 bw squats and end the workout with 50-100 mountain climbers. No rest if I can avoid it. I guess I can go without rest til the last bw squat set, There I'll propably have to rest. :P We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Warmup & training; 50 bw squats 50 crunches 50 walking lunges 50 twisted crunches 50 bw squats 50 mountain climbers 08:06 minutes and almost no rest at all. I took like 5-6 breaks and they were no longer than a couple of seconds. Then I did one of the best gripper sessions in a long time. I fried my hands totally! warmup: 5@coc1 2x3@coc1,5 2x1@coc2 like overcrushes almost, squeezed very hard when the handles touched. Right hand: 5x1 explosive closes and 4-5 seconds overcrush@clamped coc3, clamped down to 21mm Left hand: 1 attempt on my filed coc2,5 in a hoseclamp but it was (bad word filter)ing hard when it was filed so I did: 4x1@ filed coc2 instead, explosive mms close and overcrush 4-5 seconds. Then I ended the workout with lighter mms close overcrushes for 4-5 seconds; Right hand 1@coc2,5 and 1@coc2 Left hand 1@filed coc2 again and then 1@coc1,5 On many of the overcrushes I could hear and feel the handles knurling rub against each other. Felt great today. I ordered an unrated coc2,5 yesterday I think, cause my severly filed coc2,5 is alittle too much for my lefty. >_< Im going to put the unfiled coc2,5 in the hoseclamp and try to smash it. I hate that my left hand is so much weaker than my right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah, Im currently trying this every other week and every other week I do 3-5 attempts on a goalgripper + 3-5 closes on a submaxgripper overcrush. Im going to increase the width by 2millimeters on the hoseclamped coc3 til next time, cause I shut it 4 of 5 times today a couple of them even said click :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 After reading this; http://web.archive.org/web/20080125113815/http://www.geocities.com/ltgodfrey/three.html I've decided to start doing wide pinch after RT/thickbartraining. I have no blockweights and they cost so damn much, but I have a 8kg kettlebell with flat smooth sides that I can pinch upside down. I can add chains to the handle of the kettlebell since its too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 2x10 regular pushups for small warmup with 50 mountain climbers in between sets. Diamond pushups 1x25, Im too stiff in the upper body and my wrists hurt from that awkward position. :O Regular pushups 1x30 Wide grip pushups: 1x30 Was supposed to do a set with elevated feet aswell, I felt totally off today. Tired and weak. FAWK! A few weeks ago I did 60 pushups in one set with ease and now I could do half the ammount............................ Been eating and sleeping like shit. Might be it? I really smashed myself last thursday aswell and I was alittle sore this morning still. That might also contribute. Also supposed to do elevated L-Sits and try some planche. I dont feel like trying after this letdown. RT: all weights are without handle and loadingpin. 5@40kg 5@50kg 3@55kg 2xMax@62kg: 4 lefty PB, 3 righty PB - 1 full and 2 not fully locked out reps lefty, 2 full righty 1xMax@55kg: 8 and a half reps both hands. Might be a rep-PB on that weight. Dunno 8kg kettlebell pinch with 2x8,5kg chains attached to the handle; 2xWith the whole hand, trying to lift as high as possible. 2xWith the whole hand, holding high for as long as possible. 8kg kettlebell pinch with 1x8,5kg chain attached to the handle, trying to lift as high as possible and hold; 2xWith pinky/ringfinger IM rubberband extensions. Since I started doing bw training my wrists hurt more and more. Theres too much torque or pressure on them I think. Might have to start using pushuphandles all the time for a more neutral grip I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 3x10 8kg kettlebell press for warmups, each arm. Handstand pushups 100kg bw; 7, 7, 7!! I think I've been PR'ing every week since I started doing handstand pushups, so far. Felt kinda easy, especially set two. Coulda done 8 reps that set if I had manned up but I thought that I'd save some in the tank for next week. I must find boxes to have my hands on so I can increase the ROM. I have pushupshandles but they're too unstable for me to dare try to do a handstand on them. Dips bw 100kg~220lbs: 2xNear max; 14, 12 The HS pushups are really taxing my triceps. My best is 27 reps in dips with a body weight around 108kg. Superset, no rest just alternating exercises; Purple band pullaparts 3x30 11kg dumbell side lateral raise 3x10 each side Looking forward to saturdays squat/core/gripper-workout !!!!!

PeterSweden Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Today I missed on the grippers but PRed in RT Warmup 25 bodyweight squats 25 crunches 25 bodyweight squats 50 crunches 25 bodyweight squats 25 crunches 25 bodyweight squats all done without rest Grippers: 5@coc1, 2x3@coc1,5, 2x1@coc2 Right hand; 1@BB Elite, 1@GHP7 both missed Left hand; 1@coc2,5 filed, 1@GHP6 both missed felt tired like all hell, I hadnt recovered from last saturday when I brutalized the grippers , so I stopped that workout there and tried my RT. RT, weights are without loading pin and handle: 5@20kg 5@30kg 3@40kg 1 or 3 @50kg cant remember 1@55kg 1@60kg 1@62,5kg 1@65kg 1@67kg I weighed this and it was 69,6kg with pin and handle so I added another 0,5kg plate and I got air under it but I couldnt lock it out so it didnt count! I almost got 70kg :S PR but not optimal I looked back and the last two sessions with RT was shorter than normal with only 2 sets of maxreps @ a pretty heavy weight submax. This must be why I've gotten stronger since I tried maxing a couple of weeks ago. I'll stick to that way of training the RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickie! 12 swings 8 chins 10 swings 10 clean each arm 10 snatch each arm 1 min rest aprox and then repeat one more time. Too light to swing, need 2 of em to make it a challenge. My bad conditioning made me breathe my lungs out, almost. This will be an exiting adventure!!! Kettlebells ftw!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Some standing light militarypress 2-3 sets. Handstand pushups facing the wall; 2x8 PB that way. TodY i had a friend over for coffey and grippers and he spotted me so I did a set with handstands with my back to the wall; did 3 repsx1. Was fatigued from the two other sets but it was still harder than facing the wall. More chest involved when facing the wall. Between sets I did abwheel. 2x10 PB and then I tried a third set but I was tired in the core and form started going down the drain and my back was feeling it so I stopped at 3 or 4 reps the third set. Grippers; 5@coc1 3@coc1,5 3TNS@coc1,5 2x1@filed coc2 Right hand; coc3 hoseclamped to 23mm with overcrush when closed; 1,miss, 1, 1. 3 outta 4 attempts PB, will open the clamp 2 more mm next session. Left hand; GHP6 hoseclamped to 20mm paralell, 4xMiss with cheatclose and overcrush, I will go down to 16-18mm somewhere next session. Right hand OC filed coc2,5 10 sec x1 Left hand OC filed coc2 10 sec x1 Now some extension work with IM rubbers Edited January 12, 2013 by NewGrippster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) First real kettlebell session ever; 6 lunges - 3 each leg, alternated 6 swings 6 goblet squats 6 lunges - 3 each leg, alternated 6 swings 6 goblet squats two sets of this and I was done! 2-3 minutes rest between sets. Done with 2x20kg bells and I (bad word filter)ing died for a moment. My lungs almost gave out! Next week I'll add another round and I'll try to do it faster. Round 1: 02:03 minutes Round 2: 02:31 minutes Rolling thunder; 5@30kg, 40kg, 50kg, 3@55kg 7@61kg lefty, 3@61kg righty 6@61kg lefty, 2@61kg righty Kettlebell musta exhaused my arms, cause this wasnt very good of a RTsession. 8kg kettlebell pinch up side down with a 8kg chain attached to the handle; 2x1@whole hand 3x1@ring/pinky finger Lifted as high as possible and tried to hold it for as long as possible. Kettlebells are fun as all hell! Im looking forward to getting a strong physiqe that can take punishment longer than 10 seconds. Powerlifting got me strong for a few pulls and then I was fried and easy to beat down. In 6 months I'll be more explosive and have the stamina of a horse hähähäh I hope Edited January 14, 2013 by NewGrippster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
