bwwm Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Today: The Mormon missionaries stopped by again today. It was a different pair than last time. Since the last pair didn't do so hot, I decided to let these guys have a go at bending some steel. Unfortunately, their wrist strength wasn't too good, so they could only bend the easiest stock I had (1/4" HRS, round). But they had fun trying the harder stuff, and I have to give them kudos for effort. They were interesting in bulking up, so I told them to try the 20 rep squat program. They didn't seem to believe me on that one, but I told them to google it. Then I had them take a go at the Atlas stones, and they actually managed to lap the 140# & 170# stones, which was great. The last guys couldn't break the 140# from the ground. I also got them to try sledge levers, as they were disappointed they couldn't bend much and they wanted to know how to work their wrist strength. I reversed some 60d's for them, lifted my Gracie DB, and showed them proper techniques on things before they attempted. After they left: DL: 435# 2 x 5, conventional, axle Ab Wheel work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's a great story, they were pretty open minded about it . They will be back for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's a great story, they were pretty open minded about it . They will be back for more! This is the 2nd time I roped them into joining me in a workout. They are just young guys (I'm guessing 19 or 20?). You show them something and challenge them to it, they eat it right up. I'm not going to signup as a Mormon, but these guys get doors slammed in their face, and shunned all day, and they are happy that I will talk to them and show them something they have never seen before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The Tommy Kono sleeves are nice. I use the 2m Valeo redline wraps loose for training as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) The Tommy Kono sleeves are nice. I use the 2m Valeo redline wraps loose for training as well. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look those up. Yeah, I'm thinking I might use them on the last weight in a workout, just to help make sure things are straight and secure. I think back in the day the leg extension machine must have did some damage or something. Edited June 23, 2015 by bwwm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico300zx Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What are your ideas for cleaning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Oh, I'm just going to do a quick rinse with some water to get the chalk build up & dirt off. Then a spritz with some saline solution to sharpen the seasoning. Daniel Reinard is a big fan of the saline solution for seasoning. Aaron likes to do a straight water spray to revitalize the chalk, but I think I may have some build up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron likes to do a straight water spray to revitalize the chalk, but I think I may have some build up. I found with mine that doing reps on it ruins the seasoning quicker than just about anything. The more reps per set the quicker it is destroyed. Since I figured that out I stopped using the good area for reps and save that for the singles. That way I don't care so much if the the chalk buildup gets crummy from the reps. Just a tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Last day of the deload week. Was messing around with my blobs. I actually got some good air on my hex 50# blob, in spite of really weird humidity conditions due to the monsoon rolling through. Today was the first day I have been able to lift that thing. This AM, I also re-shot my TNS attempt at my BB SM (both hands), and also shot my TNS attempts on a CoC #2.5. Those will be going into the polling for gripboard feats over the next few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
