I didn’t learn proper technique and it’s a super dangerous event so even light weight tore my pulley. And yes before the pandemic I got back up to even past were I was before the injury but then the gyms closed and I tweaked my Pec and then my wrist so I finally about 95% back after overcoming those injures That sucks man. Good job working back up though looking forward to seeing you crush the mm8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 So I tried to train last night but called it off mid session cause my cns felt fired. I reorder things and just hit accessory work tonight to rest for tomorrow. Tonight’s training: Wide grip Lat Pulldowns warm up set 180 lbs - 8x 190 lbs - 8x 200 lbs - 8x 210 lbs - 8x 220 lbs - 8x Machine Rear laterals 130 lbs - 8x 140 lbs - 8x 150 lbs - 8x 170 lbs - 8x Preacher Curls with an EZ Bar 1 warm up set 70 lbs - 8x 90 lbs - 8x 100 lbs - 8x 110 lbs - 8x 120 lbs - 8x 70 lbs - 20x i don’t know the actual bar weight but I am Counting it as 20 and that feels conservative One arm Machine rows 75 lbs - 8x each arm 87.5 lbs - 8x each arm 100 lbs - 8x each arm 112.5 lbs - 8x each arm tomorrow is grippers and I am meeting up with the Trainer I got into grip at my gym who I brought to compete at gripmas. Goal is start adding the bumper to my 194.5 super elite. Let’s go! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I will write more tomorrow but I trained tonight and because I had friends at the gym I jumped to my 198 lb RGC grand elite after my first close of the 194.5 lb super elite which I didn’t plan on attempting tonight. This gripper feels just like the Real MM7. My buddy’s egged me on. I wasn’t feeling super on but wow I got super close. Here is picture of how close it got and my set wasn’t even good and felt beyond MMS…..this goes down soon….I’m a show pony baby! This is a very critical point for me cause this gripper has always been a big gauge for me. I need to get to the point where this is an easy close to get the MM8. It’s ok to Fail sometimes. Now I know where I stand and how to use the bumper to bridge the gap to this gripper…and beyond Edited January 7, 2022 by Chez 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Of course I fell behind in the log but training is going great and that is what is important. Last night I hit a two hand pinch on my super slick flask (everyone hates my flask and pulls less on it than theirs). Here is the video 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Grippers tonight. Definitely getting stronger. For my top singles I closed my 194.5 lb rated super elite twice each time with 1 full cpw bumper turn added resistance (roughly 1.5 lbs added resistance). On my third attempt I added 2 full bumper turns for roughly 3 lbs added resistance and missed by the width of a piece of paper. Argh. If I attempted it on the second try it would have been closed.

Chez Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hit 165 lbs on my slick crusher tonight for a gym PR. I always lift more on other crushers which have seasoned better than mine. All my stuff is slick and people always pull less on it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Right now I am so busy with the new job and changes in my personal life on top of hard training all I can post are milestone lifts etc but I hope that will Change once things get settled.

Chez Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hit a PR on the strongman Yoke today. We do it on my friends uneven backyard which makes it harder. Hit 536 lbs today back and forth and each way is roughy 30-35 feet. We started doing this in the summer when he bought it so we haven’t been doing it long. Slowly but surely getting the hang of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Still training. I keep adding 10 lbs to the yoke every week and getting it. Yesterday I set a new PR on the yoke and it flew. Way Faster than the previous with less weight. Currently training for the US grip championship in June so I’ll be focusing on those events 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Still training. Tonight I hit 400 lbs on the 2” napalms nightmare. Just working to get better all around 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hit a PR on the little big horn today. It’s always been one of my worse lifts but this 186 lb lift is a 6lb PR for me. At first I didn’t think I lifted it high enough but after reviewing the video I believe I made the 6” competition cross bar height. What’s really encouraging is this is only two days after a whole workout with naplams nightmare so I wasn’t fresh. I think I got more fresh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Yoke today. Hit a pr with 606 lbs. we do it outside in my training partners uneven lawn which makes it way harder. We are taking a break and switching to farmers walks soon Edited April 16, 2022 by Chez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
