2000m rowed and some stretching

Phat Boy has informed me these are actually called Prone Rows so that’s loads less typing for me .

Double Update! Pull Day yesterday and volume bending today!!! Pull Day 4x8 bent over rows on the elite fts angled cambered bar (forget exact name!) at around 175 pounds. Superset Holle 45k Inch gorilla rows and mega thick rope cable low rows. That was it … or so I thought!!! My 3 GripSport Latino setting blocks arrived so I had to give them a try! Did a fun little 20mm/38mm/cc/38mm/20km Volume Bending Day! Today was the last session before Horrido 6.5” 10.9 rematch, and it felt good! Did 10 179mm bastards and one 170mm shiny in 66 hits, which means I was able to repeat the same 6 hit cadence 11 times in a row!!!

York Legacy 105 Blob - Fun with Magnets 05-09-2024 Tried a York Legacy 110 Blob this afternoon but only broke the ground. So I dropped back down to 105 and added magnets to help me work up to the heavier Legacy blobs.

Mine are black as well…his title said it was custom so maybe they had that option at the time.

Such a rare gripper to get at that price

Interesting as my John Brookfield G Gripper has a 73mm spread and a black spring I wonder if this is an earlier or latter version.

Well this already sold

The only way I could think of to add a bit of weight to my rows.

Sweet!

They are 40 pounds each,two handles on each one. One side is a 2 inch handle. The other side is a one inch handle. A friend of mine just made them . he made three sets, one for the gym one for him and one for me. they are still hot from welding. Not sure if I’ll pay them or not.

Yes, but only in the beginning then it will have diminishing returns. Once you are between 30 seconds to a minute going much higher won't increase strength very much. It's definitely not the best way to train for grippers, but they are a good idea for a lot of reasons and there's always at least some carryover between grip movements

Whole day physically intensive work and 3 hours with rubber donuts, driving home.

In my experience it does. Especially with extenders.

Been loading tiles all day & certainly feeling it. Whilst the weather is nice I might switch sess to mornings before I go work. Going to look at probably doing shorter sessions with just a couple exercises so I don’t overtrain or try my cns. Going to think about it tonight. Going to put my feet up & rest tonight.

I currently started to do dead hangs. First time 3 days ago. For my first try I got 68 sec at 89 kg. Then for a one arm dead hang eight handed just over 9 sec. Is this a good practice to carryover to gripper strength and what about pullups and chin ups ?

Bingo yup... They already do! it was a 3 hour round trip, something that should only take an hour. Plus I gotta go back roads because the truck staties are out in the morning and love to pull over anyone in a truck and they always find something. I can't figure out why they do it and why theres a daily limit each dump can take. My guess is as a state maybe for environmental reasons if they keep it under a certain figure for the year maybe theres a federal kickback? At the end of the day it all comes down to money. meanwhile you have diesel trucks idling longer, driving further to go to the dumps ect ect

Nice, Iron for 5 reps is pretty solid

Yeah i have 25 tubs

That’s a lot of G fuel

Seems pretty counter productive eh, especially if there is a high demand, I imagine this will just get worse over time until they increase the limits. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If it gets really bad you’ll probably start seeing people dumping their debris off under bridges or on the outskirts of town

Yeah these are damn cool eh
