Some blob training just. 3 cheatlifts with pinky finger, both hands.

TTK:

Holds:

RH: 7,25 kg (15,9 pounds) for a minute (PB)

LH: 6 kg (13,2 pounds) for a minute. (PB)

Increase weight for both thumbs next time. I increase when I have reached one minute. For RH it was big PB, because previous was on 49 sec with 7 kg, and not 7,25.

Did some low intensity bodyweight squats just:

Set 1: 60 reps

Set 2: 30 reps

Still not 100% recovered from Muscle Ache/DOMS/or what, I really dont know what is the english term.. Träningsvärk in swedish :tongue. So higher intensity next week! This was just mainly to keep at it and not let it go too long between the squats.

Stone Dummy

52 kg x 2

72 kg x 2

77 kg x 1

87 kg x 1

89,5 kg x 1

92 kg x 1

102 kg (224,8 pounds) x 1

It feelt good to reach 100 kg since I had problems getting over 90 initally. I must work alot on my technique in this exercise. It was problems with the technique that got me into problems getting over 90 kg. Improved over the last sets. But still must work on it..

I feel it's to much work translating all the KG numbers into pounds, so I will from now only do it on some numbers.

Anyway I really feel this exercise is good for functional strenght, so that's the main reason I will keep up with it.

I don't think there actually is an English word for "workout ache". Which can make it difficult to explain if the pain is from an injury or just from mucsles-getting-sore-in-a-positive-way-from-working-out.

There has definitely already been good increase in push ups reps.

Decided to do one longer BLOB50-workout today, instead of two shorter ones. Will probably continue it so.

Started with one set for either thumb with TTK:

TTK, Negatives:

RH: 18 kg (39.6 pounds) x 1

LH: 13 kg (15,4 pounds) x 1

touched PB for both thumbs.

BLOB50

Negative holds, no weights added

3 two sec holds with RH, 1 one sec hold.

2 two sec holds with LH, 2 one sec holds

Cheat lifts, no weights added

Assisted with light pressure with pinky finger.

RH: 3 + 2

LH: 3 + 2

Cheat lifts with weight added

Assisted with pinky finger.

+ 3 kg (6.6 pounds)

RH: 2 + 1

LH: 2 + 2

Two hands holds with weight added

Set 1: + 3 kg for about 12 sec

Set 2: + 3 kg for about 10-11 sec

Set 3: + 3 kg for about 8-9 sec

All roughly counted. Will increase weight next workout.

Ended the workout with 1 set for either thumb on TTK. I started on low weight and quickly put on more weights, til failure.

Workouts lenght: About 23 minutes.

Feelt good today.

Good pinch work man. Knowing that there is another blob50 in the same area lit a spark in me to start working my pinch again. My pinch has always sucked big time, I really need to change that :D

Hundredpushups program

Week 4, day 3

Set 1: 29 reps - 29 reps done.

Set 2: 33 reps - 33 reps done.

Set 3: 29 reps - 29 reps done.

Set 4: 29 reps - 29 reps done.

Set 5: Max (at least 40 reps) - 40 reps done.

About 10 minutes rest between set 4 and 5.

PHEW! It really was on the hair this time. Really glad I pulled it off!! When you hit hit max on push ups I don't think it matter how much will you have to go on. When it stop's it really stop's..

Max test on Thursday, then onto week 5. If I fail on Week 5, day 1, I start over on Week 4.

Funny story.. This night I dreamt I lifted my BLOB50, I got really happy. But then I took a good look at it, I noticed only half of the BLOB50 where left, so then I just got confused.. :laugh lol!

BLOB50

Negative holds (No weight added)

RH: 2 sec holds: Three times.

LH: 2 sec holds: Three times.

Cheat lifts (No weight added)

Managed to do it today in a better way. Instead of, with my opposite hand, putting my pinky under the blob, I put all my fingers except thumb, on the thumb side. Hopefully I can put less and less fingers on as I get stronger.

RH: 3 + 1 + 1 + 1

LH: 2 + 0 + 1

Cheat lifts (Weight added)

+ 1 kg (2,2 pounds)

RH: 2 + 2 + 1

LH: 1 + 1 + 0

With the opposite hand i put all my fingers except thumb, on the thumb side. My goal here is to be able to cheat lift with more and more weights added. Next time I will probably try with 1,25 kg, hoping that that goes OK with LH.

Lenght: About 14 - 15 minutes.

Just managed to, with RH, make a full pinch lift with four 5 kgs plates (5 kg is similar to 10 pounds). No succesfull lift with LH though.

Earlier i could just pinch lift four 5 kgs plates, when they were fixated to a pipe.

Great job lifting the 4 5kg plates. I tried that about a week ago and barely broke the ground with RH. Full lockout is pretty good.

Thanks David!

Five 5kg plates is the goal. For that I need to get another 5 kg plate.

BTW where did you find those 5kg plates? I'm assuming that they have a flat side.

I can't seem to find any place selling those kind of plates.

I've been forced to do all my plate pinching in the gym.
