filipvk Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yes,it is but now when I'm able to close my #3 from CCS I can't close my Elite from 20mm set that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Did some grippers,biceps and triceps trainings the last two weeks. Now I'm busy but I'll write soon again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Today I worked out biceps and forearm/wrist. Did barbell curls up to 50kg on the bar x 5 reps for 2 sets(it is a PB by now, I started to train for arm wrestling a couple of months ago though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Yesterday trained with grippers without chalk, I did just braced no set closes with COC3 and 2.5 (I am lost again in the deep and parallel set in my LH,so I find easier to train braced and or just to set the gripper wide in my palm holding it with my off hand by the spring and both hands are about the same strength in this way) Today I trained biceps and I can see that my strength is increasing. Did a couple of sets of 3 reps with small cheating with 30 kg DB BH (Before I had to cheat alot to do those). After that I did isometric holds with the elbow on my hip with 50 kg DB for 10-12 seconds BH and it's a personal record by now. BTW in the last 3 months since I'm here in Ireland I've lost almost 10 kg of fat because I'm riding my bike everyday and I eat now and then when I have time,but I try to eat as much as possible fruits and vegetables, and my BW is 87kg ATM.

filipvk Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'll be back in Croatia in 9 days and I'll be able to train properly my grip and whole body (thank god), because here in Dublin I have just a couple of dumbbells (they were here in the house where I'm staying) and 3 grippers that I brought from home. Anyway last week I tried my easier #3 and I'm still able to rep it with BH from MMS, so I'm expecting to make progress and rep my Elite and #3.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I finally did a decent gripper session today. For the first time I tried my brand new Left Turn #3 and I can say that it's very difficult to close with right hand, I think it was closed at the first attempt from parallel set but the next ones wasn't. With my left hand I closed it every time I tried,it feels harder than any of my #3s. At the end of the session I gave a try at my new #3 (154lbs) I bought from Jorg and it feels like my harder #3. I closed it once with my left hand and did 2 reps with my right hand. Here's a couple of videos Edited July 28, 2015 by Filip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filipvk Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Today did full and partial pull ups on fat gripz and rolling thunders. At the end I did also partial pull ups on rolling thunders with curled wrists. After the workout my forearms and wrists were on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filipvk Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks guys, I didn't have time to post my workout lately but I'm still trying to train hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yesterday trained with grippers, after I tried to see whats the best I can do with the wrist developer with the red spring and I missed by half an inch the 6-6 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Besides grippers I started to train my pinch properly. I bought a couple of months ago 2 standard plates 24kg each with smooth sides and 40mm of thickness. So, yesterday I put thru the 2 plates my loading pin and added few weights and did some 80mm 2hp. I'm still trying to find the best tehnique and my thumbs to get used to that width. Lifted just a couple of inches from the ground 74kg (for now it's my PR) and I don't know how good can it be for a beginner in 2hp. With grippers I'm trying to do some wider sets with my #3 (the harder one that I can't ccs close yet and I'm working on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
