burkhardmacht Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 training on 28.3.04: right: 3xRB130 (3x) 2x2# (2x) 1x3# (10mm!) 2xRb240 (0x !!! ) 3x2# (3x) left: 3xRB130 (3x) 2x2# (2x) 1x3# 2xRb240 3x2# (0x ) What a bad day on this Sunday - on Monday I had my final examinations of the universitiy (finished successfully but had hardly a nervous breakdown on Sunday . My hands where strong like cooked spaghetti!) No training on Wednesday because I felt really ill but tomorrow I will have a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Burki, I haven't even closed my RB210 or RB240N yet. I didn't know those RB handles were capable of touching! Good job with the 240. If you have a break from school now, are you going to add more variety/volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not add more volume to my crush training in the next time because of two reasons: 1. simple training makes progress more visible than too many exercises and 2. I do not want to overtrain - I've done that several times - not only with crush training.... . Because I've got a lot of time this year I'll write down all my grip training here. That means I'll add my pinch- and thickbar-log but the progress in crush training will still be the main goal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Good log Burkhard! How would your rate ýour RB240 against your #3? Can you measure it on a bathroom scale? Did you tested yourself with the credit card rule? I did, and boy it sucks (7 1/2")! If you didn't and you want to certify you perhaps should test this sometimes too. You might start doing negs with a gripper above your goal gripper but not with the #4. I would recommend a BB Elite. Gruss, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three times crush per week is too much for me (perhaps). That's the reason why I cancel my crush training on Friday. Another reason for that decision: I'll do more pinch and thickbar training. training-programm: Mon: pinch+thickbar Wed: crush Fri: thickbar+pinch Sun: crush+extensor work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) Be careful Burki, too much pinch and thick bar can ruin your crush. If your goal is to close #3 then just do grippers.

FrankyBoy Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hey, that's exactly my schedule I think it's good that you have one day rest between thick bar and gripper training. I observed and heard this from other griboard members too that RT and gripper training may interfere. Keep training hard. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Franky... IMO it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi gripmaster316! I'll try this programm until my progress is not good enough. I hope it's not too much - I'll keep the volume very low - perhaps that's the key! Hi Frank! I think this programm is " best of" - hope we go beserk with it!

burkhardmacht Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi gripmaster316: The "problem" is that the 3#-close is not my only goal but the most important! I prepare for a grip contest in October '04 which includes crush, thickbar and pinch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thickbar RT: right: 4x60kg (3x) left: 4x60kg (0x!) Apollons Axle (Holds): 1x55kg 1x95kg 3x115kg 5x95kg Pinch PGB: right: 1x20kg (1x) 1x25kg (1x) 1x27,5 (1x) 6x25kg (6x) left: 1x20kg (1x) 1x25kg (1x) 1x27,5kg 6x25kg (6x) TTK: 10x10kg 10x10kg 10x10kg All pinch- and thickbar attempts are jugded as successful if the weight leaves the floor - even a few centimeters! The RT attempts are written down like this: 4x60kg (3x): means that I've tried 4 singles but lifted the weight only three times with my right hand - the last (4.)single was done too but not mentioned because the left hand was used as support! This support by the other hand is always done while the RT training if the trained hand can't lift the weight! Apollons Axle-Holds take each ~ 10 sec - if I can hold the weight longer I'll add weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 wristcurls (after my deadlift routine):10x70kg Nice wrist curls Burki, you should be pretty close to getting 91 kg/200 lbs for a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
