jvance Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Out of town at the in laws.. Haven't done much cept my modified pony clamp for pinch and two singles and a double on the 3" truck axle w/ leaf springs over top. Very tough on my wrist tendons so kept it short. Earlier in this log I described the axle I believe page 3 or 4 if some of you are wondering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 BW 183.8 20r squats @ 190# IM big horn to 147#, ten second hold each hand plate holds 25+7#, ten seconds per hand to the front and to the rear blob work, warmed up with 40# taps, then 45# holds... and made some attempts at the next gen 50 lefty... got it slightly over the knee several times but couldn't lock it out - still airtime PRs with the left... with the right i tried 5# extra weight and same story, got close but couldn't pull the shoulder back. In both cases these are still personal best performances with the blobs... the drags are continuing to work very well not much else except for L seat to planche progressions on the mini paralletes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Good job on the blobs!! So You can lift the next generation blob with Your right hand pretty easy, right? How about the fatman? Did You already try one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Good job on the blobs!! So You can lift the next generation blob with Your right hand pretty easy, right? How about the fatman? Did You already try one? Thanks! Yeah right I'm good for about ten seconds holding. The fatman is harder idk how long of a hold but I can lift it solid. Funny thing is its a half 95 fatman - but significantly harder than the 100# nxg. Blob floor drags are a huge part of my success, there was a time not too long ago that fatman was bolted to the floor collecting dust. It wasn't till I got smart about training it that it came up.very nice I like to hear when things are working Me too man, I love outsmarting the weight Edited January 22, 2015 by jvance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony C. Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Jon, Excuse me if you mentioned this already but when you drag, do you grab it from the side of th block so your forearm is parallel to the ground? Or do you grab at the top as if you were going for a deadlift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 From the top mostly, (more challenging), the y in "york" pointed towards where i am dragging. Now to make it easier, turn the y inward so the blob is sideways, fingers placed in the direction of where you're dragging, tilt the blob forward and drag.. perhaps i'll make a video when i get the chance today did DO fat grips dl on the rage bar, 3x5 @ 265# also 1hp swings @ 73# w/ the dime plate to the rear (offsets the euro out of balance to make it more challenging), 3x5 each hand tabletop (bench) wrist curls w/ the diy wrist wrench, 2x3 nice n slow 53# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This dragging seems to be a good idea! I'll give it a try in the next weeks. My three fatmans are all still far away - so a lot work to do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 BW 181.8 Squats 3x5 @ 260# 1.5" block Grippers left 2x5 w/ ghp5, right 2x5 w/ Tetting SM... Left attempted 25mm block 149 HG300 to a millimeter, right narrowly missed same gripper on the wider 1.5" set.... Opened a nice callous on the pinkie. Crush coming along... Starting to train for a CoC cert perhaps after nationals. Focused more on the Lifts, but I want some fancy IM paper on the wall eventually - it's been long enough 2hp to 183# 3x4 (each time tried for five reps couldn't lock out the fifth rep) no regrips.. Next time should be a breeze for 3x5 bodyweight+ Nothing really else just some rehab work and PB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks bro.. I got 203# maybe about a year ago. Not sure what it is now as I haven't trained it regularly... I think I can get a 200/220r with a bit of work in the short term. At my lighter bodyweight I think those are some legit goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 BW 183.6 one hand cleans on 3" Inch style nonrotating trainer, warmup then one single each 78#, 88#, and three singles each at 98#/44 kg (thanks Josh W, finally dusted off the 3" handle!) I had perhaps 5# more in the tank but i haven't done one hand DB cleans in a while and my form needs dialed in 2hp light day 3 sets of doubles at BW 2hp torque trainer 2 five second isometrics plate hold, thin 25#, twenty seconds each hand blob attempts, more air w/ nexgen 50 left, and right air with added 5#... still not quite there but kind of a dry morning in the garage, i bet with some decent humidity it will all go up easy and then some.... still very consistent with the right hand on both heavies finished with a core/conditioning circuit, ten reps each hand hang snatches 40# FG DB, 20 flutter kicks while in L Sit position, and leg raise flutters for ten seconds, did this twice... very tiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IROC-Z Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 blob attempts, more air w/ nexgen 50 left, and right air with added 5#... still not quite there but kind of a dry morning in the garage, i bet with some decent humidity it will all go up easy and then some.... still very consistent with the right hand on both heavies Any idea what humidity levels you were at this morning? My reason for asking is because I really struggle with lifting the blob in the summertime when the humidity is high, but in winter, my basement gym gets down to about 30% humidity and then the blob comes off the floor with ease. I've also heard others say they prefer a bit more humidity for pinch, so this has always been a topic of great interest to me. BTW - Great log here!

jvance Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 No idea on actual humidity. It was about 60 degrees, 9am door open sunny out. Not terrible pinching but no grabby friction.. Sometimes it just "feels" easier. Usually cooler and rainy has that optimal feel. Maybe I need to plan my workouts around the forecast? Lol... Thanks for checkin it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
