filipvk Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 09/01/2015 Today I tried to do just TNS closes Grippers LH (Offhand) warm up to COC2.5 x 1 TNS Easy COC3 missed by a couple of mm Easy COC3 missed by a couple of mm RB240 x 2 reps RB240 x 1 COC2.5 x 3 reps COC2.5 x 2 reps COC2 x 17 reps COC2 x 13 reps RH warm up to COC2.5 x 1 TNS Easy COC3 missed by a couple of mm Easy COC3 missed by a couple of mm RB240 x 2 reps RB240 x 2 reps COC2.5 x 3 reps COC2.5 x 3 reps COC2 x 20 reps COC2 x 15 reps After grippers I did few sets with my rubber band to work my extensors. Last time I trained my grip when I was younger(7-8 years ago) I used to do more TNS work and then I was also near to close my easy COC3 with my right hand but I was a lot weaker with narrower sets. Now,when I'm stronger with narrow sets and the TNS is weak,I think I will do combined trainings to see what will happen. Maybe I will just mess everything up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It is very hard to work both narrow and wide sets also in my experience. Just keep pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filipvk Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 80mm pinch block lifts (pinch block + loading pin = 3,7kg) Left and Right hand Warm up with pony clamp 20kg x 5 20kg x 5 25kg x 5 30kg x 3 32kg x 1 32kg x 1 30kg x 3 30kg x 2 25kg x 7 25kg x 6 Cooling down with pony clamp I didn't do this exercise for a while and I've improved the pinch with just lifting the blob with two hands. I prefer to train with the blob because it takes less time and I don't have to add or remove weights from the loading pin when I use the pinch block but I don't know yet what exercise improves most the strength in the thumb.

filipvk Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yesterday did some exercises for the biceps(dumbbell curls, ez-bar curls,and isometric holds),during the rests I played around with the sledge hammer and did some wrist curls with 10kg plate. It was intense and the whole arms were very tight after the workout and sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filipvk Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 21/01/2015 Today I trained my biceps mixing some pullup and isometric holds. After that I did some squeeze to my grippers. I have to admit that last few week I started to train more with weights and I can feel that my forearms are more sore than usual and I'm not expecting that I'm going to improve with grippers,but by now I'm happy that I can still close the #3 and rep it.

filipvk Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm not posting that much because I started to train for arm wrestling and I'm having different kinds od pain/soreness in my wrists,nothing bad,my wrists just have to get used to arm wrestling. I will start to train again with grippers/blockweights soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Today did some triceps and biceps training and after that I played around with grippers. The best I did was an almost braced close with both hands (1 mm away) of my easier COC 3 from table no set. Now I can say that my wrists are fine and I feel no pain anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yesterday trained just my left hand with grippers after biceps workout. Did 3 CCS attempts,missed all of them by 1 mm :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Today played around with my grippers again,with both hands this time. Missed again all the CCS attempts with BH by a hair every time. Tried also to close the Elite and failed. I will try to train more the MMS with harder gippers to complete the CCS closure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Today after biceps workout squeezed my grippers a lil. My best close was (I think was closed,if yes than that's my PB) a CCS close with my left hand. Also did some try with my right hand and I'm almost there too. The armwrestling training I started changed the strength in my hand, ATM I'm stronger with open hand and I should start again to train parallel sets or 20 mm block set with my harder #3. I also did some drags and 2 hands isometric holds with my 25kg blockweight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your stay there. Maybe a fitness around? You wrote about training with your 25kg blob, I'm getting one this Friday, very curious to how it will feel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Work,I hope,that's my intention and thanks! From next week I will for sure train more,and I will try to find a gym near my new apartement. My 25kg blockweight (ordered 8 years ago from heavygriptools from swchitzerland) is a beast compared to the BLOB50,but I cannot lift the blob50 with one hand yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 A couple of hours ago I've had my first gripper session here in Dublin where I finally closed my easier #3 with LH from CCS,so that would be my PR with LH. I'm still fighting to close again the same gripper with my RH but the set is always wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
