Tom Scibelli Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I figured I start a training log here. I know I can learn a lot from everybody's experiences in training here on the board. I have a goal right now of being able to hit the numbers for the CTD challenge. Just tonight I PR-ed on the hub with my left hand and got 45lbs. My RT is around 160 and I can close a #2. But I haven't trained grippers in a while due to tendonitis in my right hand. 12/17/12 Press: 3x125, 3x145, 4x160 Pull-ups: 5x10 Press: 5x10x90# Hub: 5x20, 5x20, 7x25, 1x40, 1x45(LH) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ARgW9qXK6M&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good stuff bro. Logs are the best thing for anyone's training, either from advice or from seeing trends in what works for you. You'll get the CTD. Biggest tough one is the RT. If you can turn all your normal lifting into thickbar that is best. Constant thickbar work, even though it's not technically a grip test, is best. Gains can be had from everyday lifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan, thanks to your advice, I've made all my lifts thick bar now. The only lift i'm stilling using a regular bar on is brench press (I just haven't let go of this one yet). Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was surprised at how good the texture was on them, even though they are a little more shallow then the IM hub, the grip I get on them make up for that. Nice home gym! Great workout. I really like your home gym setup. Thanks guys, I finally got it set up the way I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 From 12/26/12 to 12/31/12 I de-loaded but I did do some grip work. On my IM hub I PR-ed with 7 reps at 30#. In the middle of November I could only do that once! My Rolling Thunder progress hasn't been as strong though. Today I had a great workout and felt really strong. I added Oly bar deadlifts back into my routine and surprisingly I didn't lose any strength since I started just doing DO axle deadlifts last month. I also almost MMS my CoC 3. I CCS my 2.5 but couldn't get it on video. Rolling Thunder: 3X100, 3X110, 6X125. Ab Wheel: 5X12 Axle DO deadlifts: 5X180, 5X210, 10X240. Oly deadlifts: 9X385 Good Mornings: 4X12X146# Grippers: #3 Miss, CCS #2.5. http://youtu.be/DBKZkyecDi4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Wednesday: Rest 1/3/2013 Bench:5X165, 5X190, 11X215 Fatbar DB rows: 5X10X86# Blob: 6X3X33.75# Fatbar DB Bench: 5X15X70# --- Right shoulder felt a little weird after this, probably going to switch to just push-ups as an assistant exercise. Friday: Rest Today: had to go to a funeral til 5pm, got back home and decided to train. Squat: 5X210, 5X245, 14X275 Axle Power Cleans: 3X95, 3X105, 3X185, 3X185, 3X185. Sit-ups: 5X15 GHR: 5X8 Various types of pull-ups: 5X10 Submitted an MM0 attempt tonight to Bill. I used the first and only #3 that I have right now, it's actually signed by R. Sorin because I bought it from his website. I rated the gripper myself (with uncalibrated weights and a 1/2'' strap so i'm pretty sure it measuring light). If anybody reading this can point me to somebody that is willing to rate grippers and has calibrated weights please let me know, thanks.

Good work on the MM0 attempt, for Calibrating, maybe contact Matti Heiskanen, he's on this board. Maybe also Matt Cannon? For example: here's Matti calibration list: http://p2.foorumi.info/rautakoura/viewtopic.php?p=17#17 You can also contact Wade Gillingham, I think he also still calibrates grippers. Shoot a pm and you'll know. Edited January 6, 2013 by Geralt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
