Chez Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Still training. Just super busy with work and trying to find a place to live with my girlfriend. Also getting ready for the grip comp I'm running next weekend. I'll find time to update the log this weekend.

Chez Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Gotta start logging again. I'm just going to pick up with tonight. I'm doing a deload week (40-60 percent of my training max for everything which is less than my real max). My grip competition is this upcoming weekend so its perfect timing. Flat Barbell Bench Press 118.5 lbs = 5 reps 148.5 lbs = 5 reps 178.5 lbs = 5 reps Incline Barbell Bench Press 107.5 lbs = 5 reps 135 lbs = 5 reps 162 lbs = 5 reps Barbell Curls 45 lbs = 10 reps 65 lbs = 3 sets of 15 reps Close Grip Push Ups 3 sets of 10 reps Note: tomorrow will be my last grip workout before the comp. Here is a video of how I decided to run the sledge choke event. It will allow less tilt and be easy to judge: Edited July 21, 2014 by Chez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Argh! Life has been busy. Time to get back on track with this log. I just held a comp this past weekend and it went pretty well. I made a few mistakes running the comp, but I made notes of what I need to do differently. I'm hosting a location for the king kong grip comp in late October so I'll make sure to correct the errors for that comp. Here is a summary of how I did lift wise: Event 1: Grippers with a 20 mm Block Set. Attempt 1 - I opened with my 185.8 lb MM3 Replica and got it no problem. Attempt 2 - I decided to make the jump to my 192 lb Freak MM3 Replica. I just closed this gripper with a 20 mm block set earlier in the week and I was hoping to duplicate that close to grab 2nd best 20 mm block set close on the NAGS list. I missed by a small margin. Attempt 3 - I decided to drop down to my 189.85 MM5 Replica. I squeaked out the close and actually got light headed and shaky in the legs. This is a gripper that I have closed no problem 20 mm block set in training but I felt off on grippers today so it was tough this time. I guess I trained heavy grippers way too close to the comp. Stupid mistake. This close is still good for 3rd best on the NAGS list. Attempt 4 - I tried one more time with the 192 lb MM3 and I got even closer this time but I couldn't seal the deal. It was meant to happen today. Oh well. 189.85 is still a huge comp PR. Event 2: Ironmind Hub Attempt 1 - Got 60 lbs very easy. Attempt 2 - 65.35 lbs was no problem Attempt 3 - Got 67.75 lbs. New PR! Felt very good also. I had more in me. Attempt 4 - I went for 70 lbs even. I have been chasing 70 lbs on the hub for a while. A couple months back I got it 6 inches off the floor. I pulled it to lock out and got the down signal and all of a sudden it slipped out of my hands! . So freaking close. Oh well. The hub is an event at King Kong in October and I'm taking 70 lbs down! Rolling Thunder - before I decided to pick the rolling thunder as an event I hadn't trained the RT in a long time. My ankle has been bad so I have been avoiding events that put lots of stress on my ankle. I had lost a lot of progress on it when I started training it again but I started to hit my stride again leading up to the comp. I also took a break from grippers left hand to make sure my left was well rested for this. Attempt 1 - 164.9 lbs with complete ease Attempt 2 - 172.5 lbs no problem Attempt 3 - 177.5 lbs felt real good Attempt 4 - 180.15 lbs. Got it! Pretty close to where I use to be on the RT. Happy with this result since I brought it back up in a short time. I want to keep hitting the RT now and make a push for 200 lbs because I want to get on the ironmind list for the crush to dust challenge. The RT is the only thing holding me back. I'll keep hitting it on thick bar day. Sledge Choke with strict rules - the rules I used for the sledge choke were very strict. The ball and nut allowed very little tilt. I like the idea but admit I should have allowed a little more tilt. Next time I'll use a bigger nut on the sledge head and I'll use half inch lines since 1 inch jumps on this was brutal. Attempt 1 - 14 inches no problem Attempt 2-4 - I kep trying 15 inches. I got this with compete ease in training but I could only get it about half way up with my best attempt. My wrist was fried and it just wasn't happening today. Overall happy with my performance. Edited July 31, 2014 by Chez 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go on the successful day of competing and running a contest with such a large group. Thanks Stephen. Block set grippers was the huge PR. In the past I only trained MMS so my paused strength was way below my MMS. I have been doing a lot more block work and its paying off. I hope the competition can evolve and grow. We have a nice group of regulars in the area now. By the way, you are freaking huge dude. I saw the pic of you with Clay and you are noticeably bigger and Clay is no tiny guy either.

Chez Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Good pinch workout tonight. Squats 1 Warm up Set of 10 reps 1 Warm up Set of 8 reps 3 working sets of 5 reps Stiff Leg Deadlifts 3 working sets of 10 reps 1 Hand Pinch Euro 53.9 lbs = 5 reps each hand 65.15 lbs = 3 reps each hand 76.35 lbs = 2 reps each hand 81.25 lbs = 1 rep each hand 83.35 lbs = 1 rep each hand 86.7 lbs = 1 rep each hand 89.2 lbs = 1 rep left PR! and maybe a full rep right. I didn't have the cross bar up for the right, but I did for the left. Not sure about the right, it may be been just high enough. Pretty sure this is a PR on my Euro which isn't as seasoned as ones I have tried at competitions. Stoked about the PR. 90.05 lbs = 1/16" short of the Cross bar Left hand! dammit. So freaking close. Only half way up right. I would have gotten this if I tried it before the 89.2. oh well, next time. 76.35 lbs = 2 sets of 3 reps each hand. Enough 1 HP because I don't want to tear the webbing. IM Hub 29.75 lbs = 5 lifts each hand 40.05 lbs = 3 lifts each hand 50.9 lbs = 3 lifts each hand 56.05 lbs = 3 lifts left and 2 lifts right. fatigue is setting in from the Euro. 53+ lbs = 3 lifts each hand. I forgot to right down the exact weight but it was a little over 53 lbs. 1 Hand Dynamic Pinch Pop's Gripper 2 Orange Rogue Bands on the high mount = 3 sets of 10 reps each hand. Note: Not too shabby. I think 95-100 lbs 1 HP and 70-72.5 hub are very doable at King Kong. It was late so I'll make up the ab, calf and lower back work next workout.

Chez Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Been very busy this week so I took a couple days off training. Its good though. Sometimes you need the break to come back stronger. Started training for the King Kong Comp in October by testing my current max in the one hand axle and little big horn since I never train those events. I needed a baseline so I can focus on bringing both up in the coming months. 8/9/14 Seated Barbell Shoulder Press 85 lbs = 5 reps 107.5 lbs = 5 reps 130 lbs = 3 reps 140 lbs = 5 reps 162.5 lbs = 5 reps 182.5 lbs = 5 reps Close Grip Bench Press 145 lbs = 10 reps 172.5 lbs = 10 reps 200 lbs = 10 reps 1 Hand Axle 115 lbs = 5 reps each hand 135 lbs = 2 reps each hand 155 lbs = 1 rep each hand 165 lbs = 1 rep each hand 175 lbs = 1 rep each hand 181 lbs (postal scaled weighed) = 1 rep right and half rep left. Not bad. I feel my right hand had a couple more lbs in the tank but enough for today. - Now I remember the reason why I don't like this event. If you are a fraction of an inch off center it tilts like crazy and both sides need to be above the knees for a good lift. Pain in the butt event and it will be tough to judge at King Kong. I would rather do an event like the rolling thunder. Oh well. I know I can do even better once I get the technique down. Little Big Horn 125.5 lbs = 2 reps each hand 135.5 lbs = 1 rep each hand 145.5 lbs = 1 rep each hand 155.5 lbs = 1 rep right and partial rep left. Left hand is off today. 160.65 lbs (postal scale weighed) = 1 rep right. This is about where I thought I would be. I haven't touch this thing in a very long time and I never really trained it. I honestly don't like the feel of it. I played around with the technique and a underhand grip towards the top partial of the horn works best for me. This will be my major focus in the next 2.5 months. I need to get this up at least 10-15 lbs. This is my weak event for the comp so I'll do whatever it takes to get better at it. 125.5 lbs = 3 sets of 3 reps each hand. Just wanted to get more volume in. 8/10/14 Rolling Thunder 96.5 lbs = 5 reps each hand 141.5 lbs = 3 sets of 5 reps each hand. I had to rush yesterdays workout and wanted more thick bar volume. Dumbbell Hammer Curls with Fat Gripz Extreme 41.5 lb DBs = 2 sets of 8 reps each arm 31.5 lb DBs = 2 sets of 10 reps each arm Close grip push ups 3 sets of 10 reps Extensors IM Red Band = 3 sets of 50 reps each hand. Been using my hand X band but it tore the other day so its back to the expand your hand bands. Quick workout today. Just hitting the things I didn't have time for yesterday.

Chez Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 They have a promotion going on right now where they give you a free GD Iron Grip 90 adjustable gripper with your name engraved on it if you can close the highest setting on video (90 kgs). Mighty Joe sent me his to try. Thanks Joe! You are allowed to set it but I closed it TNS right and left hand to make it more challenging. Here are the videos. I had to do each hand twice since its difficult to show the close on video because the black stoppers were tough to show on film. I'm still working out. I'll update the log when I'm done Right hand TNS = Left Hand TNS = 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royz Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 That's absolutely the coolest looking adjustable gripper out there at the moment. Great closes as always Chez. Too bad those black stoppers don't let you close the handles all the way. I think that's the biggest down side to this gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Saw that gripper on ebay, it looks so damn cool. Its a great design. Very smooth also. How does it feel to have the handles in-line with each other vs. offset? The adjustables like this one, the Vulcan and RBA which have the handles in line are all very smooth. Very different feeling than regular torsion spring grippers since you don't feel the torque of the torsion spring grinding on itself. The tension is more uniform throughout instead of the huge ramp up like torsion spring grippers. That's absolutely the coolest looking adjustable gripper out there at the moment. Great closes as always Chez. Too bad those black stoppers don't let you close the handles all the way. I think that's the biggest down side to this gripper. Thanks buddy. I agree. This gripper would be absolutely perfect if they made a harder version and the handles touched. Still the best design I have ever seen for an adjustable gripper. Very high quality and well made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) I still need to update the log with the last 4 workouts but I trained pinch tonight and got a one hand Euro lift PR of 90.5 lbs on my device. Form is pretty ugly. I didn't even realize my off arm was resting on my knee. I think I do that out of habit but I have to break that habit. It tough for me to bend very low because my ankle isn't very flexible now after the surgery. oh well. still happy to break 90 lbs on my device. Chasing 100.

jvance Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Good pulls Chez, I believe you can pull at least 5# more on technique alone. 1: set up a bit cocked to the side (right hand at about 1230-1 O - clock, left 1100-1130. The device has a tendency to roll a bit on the 1 hand lifts in the direction of whatever hand is gripping. The off center setup helps to mitigate the rolling a bit. 2: Experiment a with your stance; I pull a hair stronger with my strong foot a few inches forward. 3: get that radiant tension going before you pull, tighten the wrists, pull till the skin begins to stretch, then really grip down and get it off the floor... Also, getting jacked doesn't work for me when I pinch. It does with all other lifts but not pinch. Try to approach it like a long putt - calm and focused. It may or may not work for you but these are all variables that might amount to a few pounds on your max. Pinch is all about experimenting.

PeterSweden Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Im so excited to get some more chez gripper workouts done and see the gripper strength soar I havent been this fired up about grippers in years! Its kinda like that first initial spark I got when I bought my first grippers hehe After new years Im trying your whole program training every aspect of grip.

You will get past your old PR if you keep plugging away. on the 1 h pinch. try to be set better before you pull and keep the off hand on the device. you remove the off hand and it looks like your fingers are still fluttering right till the pull. you can practice placing the off hand on your hip. gives extra power in the heavy lifts and develops that habit so you don't stay bent over. Thanks for the tips Brent. I'm going to focus on my technique more next pinch session. I'll try to implement the advice. I have always struggled with my Euro Technique (the 2 hand version as well). Very strong 1hp and hey it looks like you got that 179 30mm close yeah buddy! Thanks bud. I actually got the 179.7 lb COC #3.5 with a 30mm block set about 3 months ago. Here is the vid: I was going to try it with my GHP block this session but my hands felt a little fried after the 2 straight GD 90 TNS closes. I held the first one for a very long time (I didn't post that vid) as the camera person tried to get a clear shot of the stoppers. My endurance with wide set closes isn't as good as my MMS endurance. I plan on trying the hard # 3.5 with a 1 3/8 inch cut down credit card set next time. The smaller jumps will keep me motivated. I have used that trick often in my training.

Chez Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Felt pretty off tonight because I'm just super tired from work lately. I trained right hand grippers anyway hoping that I could snap out of it, but it didn't happen. Oh well, bad days happen. My friend sent me a super elite rated by Cannon at 185lbs that he wanted me to try. I closed it twice with a 20mm block set. Normally, this would be easier but I had to try more tonight due to lack of energy. Here is video of the first close: I torn the skin on my set finger pretty bad again so I had to cut the session short to make sure I heal for the next one. I'm behind 5 workouts in the log. I'll catch up soon. Edited August 27, 2014 by Chez 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 alright, time to play catch up with the log. lots of workouts to include. going to do over a couple posts. here goes 8/20/14 Seated Barbell Shoulder Press 85 lbs = 5 reps 107.5 lbs = 5 reps 130 lbs = 3 reps 150 lbs = 3 reps 172.5 lbs = 3 reps 195 lbs = 3 reps Close Grip Bench Press 172.5 lbs = 8 reps 200 lbs = 8 reps 220 lbs = 6 reps. This felt super easy and then I realized why. Its because I miscalculated what weight to use. I was suppose to use more for this set. Oh well, next time.

The challenge is to rep a 45 lb empty barbell for 100 reps. You can take rests as long as you don't put the barbell down. Its pretty brutal. 60 continuous reps. brief rest while holding the bar. 10 reps. rest 10 reps. rest 10 reps. rest 10 reps, rest - got all 100 but now I would like to do them all without a rest. Crazy pump from this. I had trouble washing my face as my arms struggled to close fully. Couldn't fully straighten my arms for 3 days after. 1 Arm Overhead Dumbbell Extensions 31.5 lb DB = 3 sets of 15 reps each arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New PR! Still getting use to this event. Haven't trained it much but this is my new high. I need 180 + by comp day. 171.13 lbs = half rep right 145.5 lbs = 2 sets of 2 reps each hand 145.5 lbs = 2 reps right, 1 rep and 1 partial left Rolling Thunder 96.5 lbs = 5 reps each hand 151.5 lbs = 4 sets of 3 reps each hand. Felt too easy. More weight next time. I wasn't sure how much fatigue would effect me and I low balled the weight. Ironmind Little Big Horn 100.5 lbs = 10 reps each hand. I wanted a burn out set to finish the workout off. Felt good. 8/26/14 Front Squats 1 Warm up set of 10 reps 3 working sets of 8 reps Right Hand Grippers (MMS unless stated otherwise) COC Sport = 10 reps COC #.5 = 5 reps COC #1 = 3 reps COC #2 = 2 reps GHP 6 = 1 rep Cert #3 = 1 rep Medium BBE = 1 rep Hard BBE = 1 rep Light MM3 = 1 rep 185 lb BBSE = 20mm Block set close. A friend sent me this gripper to try. I was very tired tonight and felt really off but I closed it. Not as easy as it normally would be though. Video above in the log. 185 lbs BBSE = 20 mm Block set close. Torn my freaking set finger bad again. This is happen more often with the heavy grippers. Especially since this gripper looks brand new and has sharp knurling. oh well. I tried to drop to my hard #3.5 and light MM3 for 20mm block set closes but I couldn't set them effectively because of the torn skin so I dropped even lower. 165.3 lb BBE = 2 reps with a 20mm Block set close. 165.3 lb BBE = 2 reps with a 20mm Block set close. That is enough for regular gripper tonight. I'm off and skin need to heal. Crush Booster Holds Right Hand Big Purple + Blue Bands = (3) 10 second holds. Most resistance I have used on the crush booster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
