CANCRUSHER Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Did a looong pinch and abs workout yesterday! A lot of lifts and farmer walks with the 20 kg blockweight; Many reps on pinch blocks of various widths; Hit new PR on the IM hub:25 kg L,23 R; Finally my thumbs are getting tougher and this is really a good news. This week will be very hard due to the school i think i wont have enough time to train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANCRUSHER Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Dis some bending and shoulder workout yesterday.

CANCRUSHER Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Did some light bench press and grippers today. Bench 62 kg 2x12 102 kg 5x5 paused reps grippers warm up rb 130 2x12 hg 250 2x3 TNS hg 300 1 TNS working coc 3,5 attempt 1-2 mm left coc 3,5 attempt 1-2 mm left coc 3,5 attempt this one was soooo close coc 3,5 attempt crappy set ghp 8 178 lbs 1 MMS coc 3 7 MMS coc 2,5 overcrush Front rises with 20 kg plate 3x20 IM wrist roller on a bar at shoulder level(back and forward) 70 kg x1 50 kg x1 30 kg x2 one arm dumbbell press 42 kg many times both hands 46 kg x4 both hands 52 x1 both hands 56x1 right hand inch replica(70 kg) attempt( this one felt tough but not impossible) That coc 3,5 is pissing me off i am doig progress but that damn thing is still kicking my ass it can be in the 185 lbs range.Finally i do not think that bench+ grippers is a good idea for me; i know that there are a lot of guys training tsg with big movements but it just dosent work for me.

Mephistopholes Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm with you here, big movements + grippers on the same day don't work out too well for me... however, a little bit of light warmup work for the whole body seems to really help. I think indian clubs are great for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel reinard Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That coc 3,5 is pissing me off i am doig progress but that damn thing is still kicking my ass it can be in the 185 lbs range.Finally i do not think that bench+ grippers is a good idea for me;i know that there are a lot of guys training tsg with big movements but it just dosent work for me. I've had great results from grippers on days where I max on squats. Sometimes it works on deadlifts but before I get too heavy because it will fry the grip. Only rarely did it work while benching. I think the wrists get worked too much on bench and it hurts max gripper performance. My favorite is still going for a gripper PR after doing a squat PR.

Yeah, we don't think about it that much because it's not a pulling movement, but when you're getting heavy on the bench, your hands are really clamped down hard on that bar. Not as much with squats, because it rests on your shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is still going for a gripper PR after doing a squat PR. well i tried to do grippers between squats but my cardio sucks so much that after a set i cant do max attempts;then to me seems that heavy movements make me waste a lot of "mental" energy. I tried light bench because its "easier" than others big exercises but i didnt think about wrist work.Then is also very cold in my garage and maybe my hands do not warm up enough.

daniel reinard Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Maybe try Icey Hot or Tiger Balm on the wrists and back of the hands to help keep the hands warm on a cold day. I've been doing that recently and it helps. I also apply it to the inside of the elbow and the main forearm muscle. And sometimes I wear elbowsleeves too. Whatever I can do to get warm and ready for a good workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that can seem impressive but to do a real negative you need 30-35 kg more that your max.Than when i feel warmed up i go straight to max attempts.
