Stephen Anderson 491 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 20 minutes ago, Chez said: Strong man and you didn't get a good set either. You were way wider than MMS. I never liked those thin handles. They actually use to make them with both handles like that. The thought was it made a tighter close like beyond the range, easy than filing the inside of the handle. The problem is that it concentrates the same force in a smaller area making it more painful. Filing the inside is way better, you get the beyond the range with the same surface area touching your hand. Keep up the strong work man. I attempt my 194.5 super elite next which feels just like the real MM6 I typically go that wide with most of my closes. For some reason i cant figure out how to get way down there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez 5,676 Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 Great shoulder and pinch workout today. Getting stronger. love the momentum. Standing Barbell Overhead Press 4 warm ups 205 lbs - 10 sets of triples. Starting to get heavy on those couple sets but every rep moved well. got a good shot at 210 for the same volume next week but it will be hard. Rope Triceps Pull Downs 80 lbs - 4 sets of 15x. wanted to go lighter and get more volume. Elbow has been sore hear and there so I wanted to pump blood into the area. Machine Rear Laterals 130 lbs - 10x 140 lbs - 10x 150 lbs - 10x Seated Dumbbell Side Laterals 25 lb DBs - 3 sets of 10x Flask One Hand Pinch several warm ups 78.5 lbs - 3 singles each hand.

Chez 5,676 Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) Amazing session today but I am super tired. I cut the session short because I was just exhausted but here is what I did: Barbell Back Squats 2 warm ups 185 lbs - 8x 215 lbs - 8x 245 lbs - 8x 275 lbs - 8x Lat Pull Downs 150 lbs - 8x 170 lbs - 8x 190 lbs - 8x 210 lbs - 8x Seated Close Grip Cable Rows 150 lbs - 8x 170 lbs - 8x 190 lbs - 8x 210 lbs - 8x Right Hand MMS Grippers Several warms up during squats 194.5 lb RGC Super Elite - Closed for a Single. I felt the handles smash together. We got video of it but I didn't like the lighting. It had a shadow on the close so I told my friend to video my second attempt. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a demanding perfectionist. Just ok video isn't good enough for me. 194.5 lb RGC Super Elite - Closed for a Single and this time we got good video. Stood in a spot with better lighting. See below for the video and still of the close. 186 lb RGC MM3 - Good Single. The last two singles with the SE took a lot out of me cause I had to hold the closes for a long time to ensure we got a good still and that really drained my power. 174 lb RGC RB 280 - 3 doubles 165 lb RGC Elite - 3 triples 160 lb MM1 - 3 sets of 4x RBA Right Hand Negatives Level 4.5 - Hold for 10 seconds Level 5 - Hold for 10 seconds Level 5.5 - Hold for 10 seconds - Easy stuff. Upping the negatives next session. I am being cautious with them to start so I am doing a slow ramp up. Edited March 1 by Chez 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, the 203 is a tetting (AKA beef builder) super elite and the 200 is a ronnie coleman which is a lesser known brand but sometimes you need those to fill hard to find gaps.

It took me a very long time to collect all the grippers I needed for a gradual ramp up and I was always looking ahead so when something came up that I wasn't ready for yet, I snatched it up cause I always planned on going this far. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
