mobsterone Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'd feel the same once I can do that 2-3 times on the trot. Then get ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab34buy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Wow! That is monster strong there! Do you think #4s are around the same as the level 17 on the DHVG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Close. There's no knurling or grip per se on the DHVG but it does take chalk ok. Back at the Peter Horne event I was 1mm or less off of a level 17 close on David's own VG and then the same on this 4.01 gripper (it belongs to Jim Wylie).

ewokhugo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 any interest to try the mash monster grippers?(liek Sam did?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Not unless it costs nothing. I've said before I don't have much and the idea of spending the little I do on P&P from the US and back on a gripper... not for me. Other than the kudos you don't get a nice prize either. I KNOW that I could do something all the way to MM4 without any trouble whatsoever. Indeed I'd happily (if money allowed it) cert on a MM0, MM1, MM2 (done a replica after the CoC ebent in 2005) and MM3 all the same day.

CoC#3 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Make that the MM6 Steve. It calibrates at less than that #4 you are using (assuming claibration data on the dup is accurate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The both of you could do double certs and split the shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewokhugo Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 "Make that the MM6 Steve. It calibrates at less than that #4 you are using (assuming claibration data on the dup is accurate)." i believe there are the same (mm6 and Mobsterone's #4) ... not complety sure, but i think the gripper D.Morton closed was calibrated at 4.02 ... "The both of you could do double certs and split the shipping costs." excellent man! totally agree:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 SaturdayWent to Gymnation but it was shut (so have emailed Imran with my offer of working there part time again). One hand deadlifts I wanted to see where I am with these before setting a program in motion. B/H: 60-kilos x 4 reps @, 100-kilos x 3 reps @, 130-kilos x 1 rep @, R/H: 150-kilos x 0 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 150-kilos x 1 rep L/H: 140-kilos x 1 rep CG Bench 60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 150-kilos x 1 rep, 160-kilos x 1 rep and 170-kilos x 0 reps KB swings - for conditioning B/H: 24kg bell x 15 reps R/H: 24kg bell x 15 reps, L/H: 24kg bell x 15 reps, B/H: 24kg bell x 15 reps My good I was puffed. I'll be looking to do 20 each next time. My back felt nice n warm after with no strains. When doing the single handed reps I used the free hand to brace off of my thigh. Lazy mofo that I am I neglected, as I usually DO write it out, to write out a plan of action / targets for the session so had no idea what I was supposed to be doing - well maybe a vague one. So I've quoted the last session like this for comparison Sunday 1 hand deadlift B/H: 60-kilos x 3 reps each, 100-kilos x 3 reps each, 130-kilos x 1 reps each. 140-kilos x 1 rep right and 1 missed rep left (see above - should have been 135 or 137.5kg) R/H: 145-kilos x 3 x 1 reps (actually about right) CG Bench 60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 160-kilos x 3 x 1 reps - good. I wanna go now lower than this before whey power challenge at xmas when I'd like to hit 190-kilos (418lbs) KB Swings 24-kilos bell B/H x 20 swings, R/H x 20 swings, L/H x 20 swings and B/H x 10 swings (ran out of puff). Only a little off what target would have been - cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good session. What day next week are you doing max grippers? Wed/Thurs would be great for me to come up as i have thurs off work. 190kg bench would be great at the whey consortium power challenge!

mobsterone Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tuesday 2HP at 44mm equ x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos x 3 reps, plus 50-kilos x 1 rep, plus 70-kilos x 1 rep, plus 72.5-kilos x 1 rep, plus 76-kilos (scaled at 97.90kg after) x 1 (hard), 1 (also damned hard), 1 (solid), 1 (better), 1 (solid but I was dizzy) and another 1 (so 6 x 1). The actual reps got better but I was all over the place after each one. Dunno why. I woke v early had a drink and a banana, then back to bed and awake at usual time and ate usual breakfast. T/L/R/T B/H: 45-kilos x 8 reps @ L/H: 80-kilos x 1 (easy), so 82.5-kilos 5 x 1 reps (all ok) R/H: 90-kilos x 1 (easy) so 95-kilos x 2 x 1 (both iffy) so dropped to 92.5-kilos and did 3 x 1 solid reps.

CoC#3 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 What is your usual breakfast mate? What do you think causes the dizziness? It's been happening to me lately every time i close a maximal gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 It only happens with pinch and is probably cos I'm bent over and so not getting enough air in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 It only happens with pinch and is probably cos I'm bent over and so not getting enough air in. yeah that's probably why - i remember you telling me to hold my breath before lifting when doing pinch - tried this last week and it does help.

mobsterone Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 With difficulty We're selling the seated press bench, the frame inside the door and have agreed a swap of 2 x 50-kilo discs for the pyramid shaped weight tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
