Nice PR!  Congrats!

I was more proud of the fact I didn't have a myocardial infarction shoveling snow.  😵

Yesterday I shoveled more snow and then did a quick 2" NN workout.  Got a 430lb single for a 5 lb PR.

Today:

Blockbuster clone up to a near miss with 94 lbs.

Then an 18 second hold with half of a 130 lb dumbbell.

Jedd was nice enough to send me a few grippers and a silver bullet.  Never seen an SB live.  Never tried one before and I don't train grippers at all.  So as horrible as this is, it can only get better.  Got 2 or 3 seconds twice with a 3.5 rated at 177 and change using 2.8kg.  Need to figure it out for sure.  Need to keep my hand more vertical and watch how far I place the thing in the handles too.  Luckily I have a month.  Then I got a PR on the Blockbuster clone.  94.2 lbs.  95 slipped out at the top.

Mighty strong, Mike!

And the way you held that 177.89375 shut you'd think it was a 177.89374!

Too bad I didn't know what a silver bullet was 9 years ago when I was actually good at grippers.  Of course that was all I was good at.  Lol

Wow!  I didn't realize you were that fancy with the grippers.  Mighty stout!

Nice!

I don't even remember this challenge.  LOL.  But I'm wondering why I would have used a #2 when I was repping my #3 at the time...

Reading through the beginning of the thread it looks like it started out as a challenge with the CoC #1 and you upped the game by using a #2.  Then never tried again.  So you actually were the trend setter, because the next thing you know Aaron was using #3s and BBEs.  Lol

I could have been a contender if it wasn’t for that Aaron!😩

About 30 minutes of failed attempts at lifting half a 100 hex block by the face.  Hopped it a tiny smidge twice.  Can barely get my thumb tip and two fingertips over the edges.  Tough.

Freezing in the shed of tears this morning.  21°.  Hit some thumbless 2" Napalm's Nightmare.  Got 400 for a 30 lb PR and then did a bit of a thumbless grip rush.  Got 350 X 18 in a little over 2 minutes. Hardest part was holding onto the cold metal.

Wet your hands a bit first and your grip will improve substantially out there.

Won't they stick to the handle?  The metal was like 15° from the night before.  Are you trying to Christmas Story me? Lol

I'd just like to thank Outback Steakhouse,  the cow that donated the 22oz bone in ribeye,  Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and the United States of America for any gains I achieve today.  'Murica!

Horrible day yesterday.   Everything felt heavy.  Was still feeling the thumbless 350 x 18 from Monday.  

2 3/8 NN: 340 heavy.  365 not even close.

Blockbuster training : barbarely got 90.

Just one of those days I guess.

Most likely just a result of still feeling that set of 18.

Quick workout tonight after work.

2" NN felt good: worked up to a near miss with 437 on the 12" pin.  My goal when I started training for the contest next Saturday was 200kg.  Looks like I may fall a lil short, but we'll see.

Blockbuster clone:  horrible. Couldn't get 90 to lockout.  Serious backsliding.  Not sure what's going on.  Skin hurt.  Hand hurt.  Generally just weak.  Hopefully I can turn things around and get 90 in a week.  Goal was 100.  Not happening.

But very close. A little contest adrenaline may give it to you!
