RTvG Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Haven't pulled of another ghp7 close since mm0 cert, so time to increase workload a bit. Tonight: GSS SW 30kg loaded negatives to failure, L almost touch and go, R crushed to 7 sec, both about 5 reps BBE extended handle: both hands negs to failure, up to about 7 sec IM 2,5 filed 5x1 and hold, R better than L IM 2 L: 10x1, R: 1x10, 1x10 (in between some attempts at both the #3 and GHP7 with R, mms, all missed by a tad) What I need to improve, is explosiveness, superfast closing. Im going to practice this with the #2, singles but for maximum speed and loudest click. Time for a plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTvG Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Tonight TSG's only. Went for the 2 and the filed 2,5. While peeping at Transformers on the tele, I did lots of reps, singles, overcrushes, holds with both grippers mentioned, TNS, CCS with the 2 and wide mms, mms with the filed 2,5, L and R. Focussed on speed, loudest click, grinding. Transformers are finished, quite amusing movie btw, and so is my gripworkout for today. Massive pump!

Geralt Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Transformers is a cool movie. Best of the three, this one. Used to watch them on Sky channel in the early days haha Going strong? Can you notice some thumbstrength increasing since you are doing more pinchlifting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTvG Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ha Geralt, Thumbstrength is not noticeably stronger yet. Progress on the blobs for now has more to do with getting the hang of it than raw power. I do like the combination of wide static pinch and the dynamic pinch. For the dynamics I use all DH tools: tombstone for both hands at the same time for reps (favourite), and ofcourse the thumbscrews (sometimes) Didn't notice any carryover to the TSG;s yet, but just starting ofcourse. This afternoon: WristDeveloper orange spring: lvl 1 1x10 lvl 4 2x10 lvl 7 1x5 This evening: Wrist developer orange spring; lvl 1 1x10 lvl 4 1x10 lvl 5 1x10 Just volume, all sets are double: one with the left and one with the righ hand on lead.

RTvG Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Last tape from this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hahaha I like those kids! That's so familiair, I once was lying on my bench doing max efforts and than my youngest daughter walked in, farted and started to laugh....next thing I knew was that the barbell was almost lying on my neck Don't you love them. Every time I watch a gripvideo that shows no face, my oldest daughter asks 'is that you daddy?' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTvG Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Discovered something today. I weighed my blocks on an accurate scale: 17.4kg, 19.6kg and 24.6kg! Discovered that my 30kg is a 25kg blob!? Somehow I convinced myself that my ordered 25kg (checked it) was a 30kg on the way. Quite silly. Anyhow, my goal for lifting the heavy one, all of a sudden became 5kg easier now!

RTvG Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Some blobwork this morning. Did a few reps lvl one orange spring WD to test the wrists, then went for a Torque qualification with the 166.3k@6inch rated G5 marked 'OF' bolt. Went ok!
