maidenfan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Frankyboy, Are we including the weight of the pin and handle in the challenge? I dont care either way, but if we do, whats the weight gonna be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Morgan, it didn't count the weight of the handle or loading pin. The 60kgs I lifted with Clays Rolling Handle was plates only. So I'm going for 132lbs +15lbs = 147lbs plates only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Gotcha. Mine included 5lbs for the pin and handle. I'll go ahead and change mine to 195 as 15lbs should be a challenge enough, let alone 20. Gonna post here the thickbar work only. The only thing else I've been doing is some wrist work and G-Rex anyhow. Morgan,it didn't count the weight of the handle or loading pin. The 60kgs I lifted with Clays Rolling Handle was plates only. So I'm going for 132lbs +15lbs = 147lbs plates only. ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 What's about your HIUI training? Do you do that at the moment to progress in fatbar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Not yet, first the Blob, Blue and GM noset. Then I include Fat bar and try to at least keep the level in the other disciplines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 A little bit of Pinch & vbar. Worked up to 27.5 lefty and 37.5 kg righty on my 70mm Pinch Grip Block. Vbar: 100kg w/ right. Made no fun to grab the vbar after the pinch workout. Guess I do some benidng instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Yesterday I met with some grip buddies and tested three of my current challenges. The good news: Two of these challenges are over now. I lifted the Blob50 (PR) and bent an Ironmind Blue Nail. Martin Kotte reached his goal too, so I only won one of these two challenges. I couldn't no-set close the Grandmaster though, so this race against Ben is still on. I 2-hand plate pinched 75kg (165#) and got some air (~4") under 77.5kg (171#). New PRs.

burkhardmacht Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 It took me a little time to find this challenge log! But finally...... Yesterday Frank and I decided to do some challenges! 1. 75kg dumbell deadlift with 75kg on a 60mm handle (we have absolutely the same dumbell!) 2. Blob50 deadlift lefty (righty is not fair because Franky can break it off the ground and had already deadlifted it but lefty we're on the same level I think. BTW my right thumb still hurts a bit and I don't want to do a race with an injury...) 3. absolutely not grip related: Franky: 220kg double overhand deadlift (with straps) Burki: 20x120kg squats If I remember correctly the price for taking the win is ONE bottle of beer for each challenge! I hope to get 2 bottles minimum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 One tip, increase the weight with 2,5kg or less... Otherwise you will burn out before you reach 100kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Blobette Training Lifting the Blobette to a 50cm high platform, a bit harder than a normal deadlift. Weights are totals 13kg 1xL, 1xR 14kg 1xL, 1xR 15kg 1xL, 1xR 16,5kg 0xL (45cm), 1xR 16,5kg 0xL (45cm) 17kg 0xL (0cm), 1xR 18,5kg 1xR 19,5kg 0xR (20cm) 19,5kg 0xR (2cm) I guess that around 21kg are enough for a safe DL of the Blob50.

burkhardmacht Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 One tip, increase the weight with 2,5kg or less... Otherwise you will burn out before you reach 100kg ← I'll train 3-4 times a week (one 20 rep set) and I'll try to increase the weigth whenever possible for 2,5kg. More weight is too much - You're definitely right. Yesterday I did squats before breakfast and I started puking a little bit after the set - so it was not easy for the body and I was happy that I've done it on an empty stomach....

honk Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 3 to 4 times 20 rep squats is plenty in my book. If I do them I do only 2 squat sessions a week can't handle more. Do you increase the weight ín every workout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
