lifesnotfair Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 You are a beast indeed. No matter how long I've been reading this log, I can't help but read it with a smile in my face... really, your numbers are so high that I find them funny. I can only dream of ever typing a log with those numbers.... maybe in pounds!!! Heh heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 April 17th Saturday Nathan Holle and Tim Howard came down for a grip workout in the garage. Started out with the trainer to warm up, then on to the No2 for a few reps. I then went to the no3 , elite, no3.5 grippers. Nathan jumped straight to the NO 4, then my single stamped No 4 for a few. Nathan then shut the HG 500 with a deep set twice in a row. Is there a video? Please say there is a video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Jara Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Chris, can you snatch the inch? I think that you are near... I would like to see you push pressing a 2 inch barbell with one hand. I remember you lifting 110 kg in this exercise. It would be possible a video of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanB Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Tim, Sultan squats... Do a good morning , then in bottom position lower into full olympic squat,then stand up . Sultan Squat you say, that´s a new name for them. I always just called them good morning squats. Great exercise, just want to raise a little warning about them, It´s a high risk exercise in terms of risk of injury. I managed to partially tear the lower insertion point of my vastus medialis doing them. Took me over a year to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Kellersmann Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi Chris, what's the weight of the middle inch db you use. 63kg or 69kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJames Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi Florian, Its 69kg mate, but a little bit has fallen off so its about 67.5kg now !! One of my training partners and all round good guy Ross Stone(Britains strongest man competitor)as an adjustable dumbbell with a 2.5 inch handle which is very handy to use. How's the training going mate , hope you are still insanely strong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
