burkhardmacht Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 fatbar work InchDB right hand 3x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 1x1x63kg 1 attempt with 69kg (lifted only a bit) 5x1x63kg The first lifts were sooo good - I was totally convinced that I would do 6 singles with 69kg, but things worked out different.... left hand 3x1x51kg 1x1x57kg (those lifts were extremely easy!!) 1 attempt with 63kg (lifted only 20cm - so the same as with the right hand....) 6x1x57kg (very easy...) pull up (rolling bars) 4x6x53mm (uuh, those pull ups are not my thing, that's why I will start training them more than chin ups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 fatbar warmed up with DO Axle Cleans I never gave this exercise a try so first I had to play with it a bit and find out what I can do. I dipped more at more with my knees as the weight gets heavier. 3x1x55kg 1x1x60kg 1x1x65kg 1x1x70kg 1x1x75kg 1x1x80kg 1x1x85kg 1 attempt with 90kg ended near chest level. I don't really know if this is good for the first try but the movement felt really good and warmed up my hands. Normally I do DO Axle DLs or mixed grip Axle DLs to get warm before the InchDB stuff but today I did several hours of shovel work in the garden (also yesterday) and I simply did not feel to lift heavy. So this exercise came more by accident. InchDB right hand 1x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 1x1x63kg 1 attempt with 63kg (+2,5kg) - up tp 25cm 1 attempt with 63kg (+1kg) - up to 10cm 1x1x63kg - happy with my lifts after all this physical labor... left hand 1x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 3x1x57kg (+3,5kg) Blob right hand 1x1x30/35/40# 2xBlob50 (out of 6 attempts) left hand 1x1x30/35/40# 6 attempts with the Blob50 (best up tp 10cm) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 fatbar work DO Axle cleans up tp 3x3x70kg InchDB right hand 1x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 6x1x63kg (could have added a bit of weight but for the moment I'm happy with that - next time...) left hand 1x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 1x63kg (up to 30cm - not too bad but not where I was in April...) 1x1x57kg (+3,5kg) too easy!! 6x1x57kg (+5kg) all good lifts! Wondering why the 63kg did not went up all the way?! Finished off with farmerswalks - up to 90kg each side (which equals my bodyweight right now). Feeling extremely weak due to not doing this exercise for a long time. Will do this on a regular basis now. Handle size on my farmers are regular.

burkhardmacht Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 fatbar InchDB right hand 3x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 6x1x63kg left hand 3x1x51kg 1x1x57kg 6x1x57kg (+6kg!) Both hands did not feel really strong because I did some hard work in the garden - so I am really happy with my performance today. For the left hand I attached so much weight like never before and all lifts were absolutely under control! For the right hand I always take 6x63kg as a good base for getting into new territory.

burkhardmacht Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Blob work left and right hand 1x1x30/35/40# 6 attempts with Blob50 (lifted it only a few cms most times, right handed a near full deadlift but dropped it, hands felt good but I could not get a really good grip on the implement) Did not do InchDB on purpose to be in top condition on Monday after a very light session on Friday!

burkhardmacht Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 light stuff today - and even lower volume than normal InchDB: 6x1x51kg each hand - let's see what Monday will bring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Fatbar Rolling handle (with ball bearings, handle diameter: 57mm, weight of apparatus: 3kg, weights listed only plate weight), equally hard as a really good RT) right/left hand 1x1x45, 55, 60, 62,5 kg; right hand only: 65kg , 0x67,5kg Gripmachine (plateloadable, parallel handles, bothhanded) 4x1x25kg I trained crush only two years (from 2003-2005), so I try to get a good feeling first before I start moving heavier weights in a few weeks. Finished with light shot rotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Gripmachine (plateloadable, parallel handles, bothhanded) 4x1x25kg I forgot to mention that I put the moving part of the handle just on the last cms of the fingers - to have a better carry over to fatbar.

burkhardmacht Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Blob and InchDB: Tried the Blob50 after a warm up and did NOT succeed! Frustrated I continued with the 40 pounder for some reps. InchDB was better - the 63kg was pretty light for my right hand abd I did budge it with my left hand.

burkhardmacht Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yesterdays training was not a real training. I did meet up with my old grip buddy Martin and we did some random grip stuff. All I can say is that on the one hand side he showed me clearly where my weak points are but on the other hand side it became obvious that the InchDB is doable for me - at least I'm sure it is.

burkhardmacht Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 No real training these days - or do I have to say I'm doing "real world training" !? I have to do a LOT of pickaxe and shovel work in my garden. This will take several weeks. In the meantime I will only do light to no training. Today I'll play a bit with my new grip tool - the Sidewinder Pro Xtreme 3! Fun stuff!! Also looking forward to my set of Python Grip Power Twisters.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Had some strength left today so I decided to do a quick training - at least I wanted to reduce my back pain from the work and did hyperextensions and hanging leg raises. Back was pain free after that so I decided to InchDB: right hand 2x1x51kg 1x1x63kg 1x1x69kg !! 2x1x63kg 1x1x51kg (as a halfhearted clean attempt) left hand 2x1x51kg 1 attempt with 63kg DB (lifted to about mid shin which is not too bad for me) 3x1x57kg 1x1x51kg (also a halfhearted clean attempt) Blobs felt good but after 8 attempts to do the Blob50 I gave up. Went up around 25cm right hand, to 5cm left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
