burkhardmacht Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Tried my Python Grip Power Twisters for the first time fresh today! I did some singles between my chin ups - benchpress machine supersets. This felt a lot better than starting with the twisters cold! I did several singles with my 9mm and with my 10mm spring. Looking forward to the 8 and 11mm twister which will arrive in a few weeks! Very nice items to train with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) 6cm FatDB right hand 2x1x45kg 1x1x55kg 1 attempt with 65kg - lifted to mid shin left hand 2x1x45kg 1x1x55kg 1x1x60kg 7cm FatDB thumbless right hand 1x1x35kg 1x1x45kg 1 attempt with 55kg - nothing left hand 1x1x35kg 1x1x45kg 1x1x55kg Grippers right hand 1xT, 1x1#, 1x2# left hand 1xT#, 1x1#, 1 attempt with 2# - missed by 3 or 4mm My arms were really in pain from the PT yesterday which influcend the right arm more than the left for unknown reason. Especially when putting the weight back to the floor while the muscle tension dropped, the pain was really awful!!

burkhardmacht Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I'm in a holiday trip right now, so my training looks alot different than the usual stuff! crush Ivanko Supergripper - did not touch it for years. Did a lot of 20 rep sets with different spring settings. Switched To Singles later. Best left Hand result was with 2,11 spring setting, right Hand 1,12 and 2,11 - don't know what's more difficult... Finish off with some Sidewinder work. Edited October 19, 2015 by Burkhard Macht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Power twister 9mm 5x DO 5x DU which felt more easy. Again finish off with Sidewinder for blood flow. Those 10 singles with the PT might seem not like very much but my tendons and bones are not used to this kind oft treatment - amazing how bit of training will bring so much pain...

burkhardmacht Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Power Twister (in the morning) 9mm 3x1x DU 3x1x DO I did those singles just to try out how I feel after several days of being sick - and I was feeling VERY good! So I decided to do reps... 4x1x10 DU 4x1x3 DO I never maxed out doing those sets. But DO feels ALOT harder! (In the evening) 3x1x10 DU I can't believe what I've done today - 20 days ago my elbows would have been totally destroyed just by doing 15 singles. Crazy how fast the body can adept to new training... Ivanko Supergripper (right/left hand) 1,3: 20x 1,8: 5x1x10 Sidewinder for extreme PUMP!!!

burkhardmacht Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Axle DO DLs - warm ups with 55 and 95kg 1x1x135kg sumo style (my hands were at their max - because of lack of seasoning in the narrow grip area - which I found out a few moments later!) I switched over to conventional: 1x1x145kg 1 attempt with 150kg (a bit over knee height) 147,5kg is my best competition lift, my best gym lift is 155kg - so I'm near peak performance or at my peak - still tired from all that pyhisical labour in my garden with sore forearms and a bit of pain in the left wrist..... plate pinch left and right hand 1x1x 2x15kg 1x1x 2x15kg (+5kg) right hand 1x1x 2x20kg 1 attempt with 2x20kg (+2,5kg) lifted only 1cm 1 attempt with 2x20kg (+1kg) lifted around 10cm 1x1x 2x20kg left hand 3 attempts with 2x20kg (lifted around 20cm) DU Power Twister 3x1x9mm 3x1x10mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) After digging for 2 hours in my garden without any break at high speed I was feeling pretty much depleted the rest of the day. In the evening I surfed the internet a bit, then GB, turning on White Snake "Here I go again" - feeling a lot better. Finally I wanted to do at least "something": Power Twister 8mm 12x DO, 12x DU, 12xDO/12xDU alternating fashion - all reps were done in one set as fast as possible. I did not take any time but it did not take too long, next time more precise. I finally got my 8 and 11mm power twister and I own now 8,9,10 and11mm. The 11mm is a BEAST!!! Feels a bit like trying to bend a tree into a BIG U!! Now my arms are READY - to take a rest...

Feels crazy difficult at the top! Blob right hand 10x1xBlob50 I tried 10 times and succeeded every time with ease!! Then I stopped to not overdo it but it felt as if I could have done at least 10-15 more lifts!! Never did 10 singles until today left hand 6 attempts with Blob50 (always got air but no full DL - that was frustrating - especially while doing damage with the right hand today...)

I checked my total Blob lift list - right hand is catching up! I lifted the Blob50 125x righty and 133x lefty. At first the left hand was stronger because I trained blobs only left handed and fatbar mostly righty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 7cm FatDB Cleans (both hands) 4x2x37,5kg Crazy stuff - even the right hand did not catch the dumbbell on the way back to the floor in midair position every time! With the left hand I tried this very hard but did not succeed, it crashed to the floor at first and then I decided to put the dumbbell back twohanded before having holes in the floor! Still don't know if I should switch to 40kg at 5,5cm DB or change the exercise for a few weeks for example to Axle cleans or something else... Blob cleans right hand 1x1x30# 1x1x35# 1x1x40# DLs 5x1xBlob50 cleans left hand 1x1x30# 1x1x35# 1x1x40# DLs 3x1xBlob50 In the middle of training I tried Blob50 double lifts but the strength was not there anymore - did several lifts to mid shin level. InchDB 6x1x51kg (each hand alternating without any rest - did feel pretty heavy after doing mixed grip speed DLs and romanian DLs with the axle and my grip work before) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Axle DO DL (warm up with mixed grip) 1x1x135kg 2 attempts with 147,5kg (best attempt a bit over knee level) 147,5kg is my best competition lift and 155kg my best inofficial lift. I did not feel very good today but I think even in top condition I can't do 150kg at the moment. Time to change this! Plate Pinch right hand 2x1x 2x15kg 3x1x 2x20kg (not easy) left hand 2x1x 2x15kg 3 attempts with 2x20kg (best up to 15cm) Power Twister 1x10x8mm DU 1x10x8mm DO 1x10x9mm DU 1x10x9mm DO PB 1x4x10mm DU PB Tried to bend the 10mm spring DO - the kink was no problem but the begin of the sweep. Feeling not good these days - seems to me that I have overdone it a bit. I'll change some exercises for a few weeks to come back to a better strength level after this period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Tried InchDBs after a long time. Did not feel good so I was not surprised I was not able to DL the 69kg Inch righty and 63kg Inch lefty. After that I experimented a bit with InchDB and FatDBs with chains attached - the latter felt pretty productive. FInished off with 50 reps with the Blobette each hand - filled to 6kg.

burkhardmacht Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 DO Axle DL (+chains) 1x3x55kg 1x1x95kg 1x1x110kg (+40kg) weight too much - did this load by accident! 7x1x105kg (+40kg) - this weight is also too much for the purpose - will reduce it next session! Blob right hand 1x1x30/35/40# 1x1xBlob50 Crazy - that was the best blob lift I've done until now - it felt so easy as if I could do a clean!!! 1 attempt with Blob50 (+2,5kg - lifted about 10cm!) 1 attempt with Blob50 (+2,5kg - lifeted about 15cm!) My PB ist still at Blob50+1kg.... but not fot long anymore hopefully! 6x1xBlob50 left hand 1x1x30/35/40# 4x1xBlob50 (out of a lot of attempts!) Especially with the right hand in some occasions I could feel that I'll lift the Blob50 after grabbing it right before the lift. It's just as if time stands still for a fraction of a second - no thinking - just feeling that I hit the right spot. I had the same feeling years ago when shooting with bow and arrow just before opening the hand I did know that I would hit the middle of the target - great feeling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
