PeterSweden Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 1 h Pinch went good. Empty euro 27,5kg. Did 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 reps both hands. These are rep PRs, never did this much volume on the euro before. Then 3, 5, 5 reps both hands on the 50mm pinch block with 22,5kg not counting the block. Tore my skin when I did 11 reps on my euro so I changed to the more rounded block. The euro is so sharp. NOW I'll rest 8-10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Warmed up with grippers only. Looking back I should have warmed up with like bench or something. Grippers felt awkward and heavy til the last set when I started getting warm. 4x3 coc2 lefty and bbgm righty with 20mm block. 1h euro; Empty euro (27,5kg) 1,2,3,4 Euro+2,5kg 1,2,3 Euro+5kg 1 One set of 50 total reps on a empty euro, alternating hand. PR. Had to give up, my right thumb tore doing those lower reps and got worse and worse for every reps on this last set. Blood on the euro 5x1 sledge fingerwalk each hand on my 10lbs sledge.

PeterSweden Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 15 minutes of intervalls on the treadmill. Between sets of leg extensions and leg curls; 5x3@bbgm righty and coc2 lefty with 20mm block. Felt better when warmed up properly. Next session its 3x4! Then 1h pinching on 2x15 thick plates between sets of pullups and latpulls. Euro feels way better Then we farmerswalked 2x 50kg eleiko plates, one in each hand. Two trips down the gym. Shrugs and hammercurls to end a good session. Petter used bbgm and 140 coc3 and the handles clicked on every rep, mine did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I need somewhere to log and track my progress. This time I wont lose interest or fail to hunt down my goals due to my back problems. Like I did with my RT and pinch goals. My back can take me lifting up a gripper still. I've been training grippers for like a month now and I think I've finally found a way to train them that works good for me. I really used to be a hard gainer on grippers but this month I went from regaining strength (muscle memory) to getting some kind of PR almost every session. I found my "spark" when we realized how extremly strong my best friend really was. We're training together every monday and friday since like 4 weeks back. Monday is bench, grippers and dynamic thumb strength. Friday is bench, grippers and 1h pinch on the euro. We go by feel, if we're tired and don't have power we go down to coc2 and coc2,5 and do explosive work or higher reps but avoid failure. If we feel strong we go for some kind of PR with TNS, CCS, 1,5"GHP BS, 20mm BS or MMS. Also we try to avoid doing heavy singles more than once a month. Singles seem to be the factor that got me fatigued, overtrained and a hard gainer. We do between 3-30 reps and stop training when we start to lose power and perform badly. Ahh, went on a rant there, but anyways, my first goal is to cert ghp7. Petter, my friend, killed the cert on his 8th gripper training session. I gotta try to keep up as best I can. Great log, Peter! I really like the part where you talk about going for a PR with the different sets. I used to that a lot, and it is fantastic. Keeps you strong on wide sets and parallel sets too. Hard combo to beat!

It worked well for 2-3 months but then we stalled and got stuck for 4-5 sessions.I think it might have been due to lack of rest now that I look back. Now Im doing the Kody Burns schedule he wrote about in the grip well. Seem to be working good. Next monday we're doing 3 sets of 4. Will be fun when we go up one level in grippers, cause then I can evaluate the program and tell if it worked for real.

PeterSweden Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Trained yesterday but forgot to wright it down. 3x4 bbgm righty and coc2 lefty with 20mm block. 1h europinch. Did lots of holds and when I started feeling fatigue I used a loadingpin for support, like Kody suggested, and god damn how much more you could pinch like that. 5 holds on my 30mm wrist wrench both hands with 43kg.
