SJ4 brought a bunch of NEAR Manna-Nuff lifts...but only one full lift and lockout.

In fact...it was complete domination.  Gil Goodman joins some freaking stellar company...becoming the 6th man to lift the 88.1lb drop weight.

 

Congrats @Squeezus...you've been added to the wall (currently a 4x6 but will be replaced with a 5x7 in the near future).

 

I'm honored. Thanks, Nate.

So...yet another long overdue update.

Upcoming...AOBS this Saturday, King Kong the following and Gripmas in December.  I'm not even gonna try to contemplate next year at the moment.

 

Looking at my Ironmind #3 Cert Paper thingy and also this log...it occurred to me that I really haven't done much in last 3 years. 

Granted, I've had a few setbacks that included being bedridden for 10 months and 6 surgeries, but it was still kind of depressing to see...or rather not see, any real goals being realized.

Recently I had a pacemaker/defibrillator installed, which essentially stops my Double Overhand bending.  This in turn kills my dreams of the Gold Nail.  I honestly don't think anyone will ever Cert the Gold via Double Underhand or Reverse.  So that's an end to one dream.

What to do?

Since I started my grip journey with Grippers...I've decided to go back to the beginning.  I'm going to start working towards the MM3 Cert...period.  K.I.S.S.

Anything else I mess with will be icing on the cake.

All for now.

This is where I am, and this is where I am going to stay. I will not be moved! 

Best movie ever. I went to a movie theatre quote along a few months back. Before the show, they took two volunteers to act out the Vizzini vs Wesley Iocane powder scene. So fun

Strong return to gripping (or just logging?), Nate!  Especially those MMS gripper closes on the 180lb gripper!  DAAAAAAAANG.

Thanks Ben.  That's pretty close to my max...but I've been terribly inconsistent.  I feel that the MM3 would be a big gamble at the moment.  I hope to "do something" everyday this year and log it...including my keto diet/goal to drop to 212 (solid, non water related).

I've gone in and out of ketosis a lot, if you ever need any info or advice feel free to hit me up. You can repay me with grip knowledge

Good to see you back my friend! Now the Gripboard is a better place (angels humming, lightfall through glass in lead windows).

Jan. 5th.

a.m. BW 256

Cal. 2339, Fat 78% (155g), Protein 19% (84g), Carb 3 (13g)

 

Platform Double Sledge/35.  1,2,4,6.  Reps/13.  TV 455.

Grippers/183.  MMS.  Miss/Miss/Miss (going to pretend I was working on setting :) )

Sledge 180s (4lb). 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4. Reps/40. TV 160 (should move to the 6lber)

Rear Levers 8.  4/4, 4/4, 4/4. Reps/24 TV 192

Vulcan Thumbscrews (11RBs).  4/4, 6/6, 6/6, 4/4. Reps/40

 

Notes:  Overall calories should be lower.  Not gonna say that 1/4 of them were whiskey, but a 1/4 of them were whiskey.  Also...Carbs keep sneaking in to diet.  Need to watch those veggies.  Wrists and forearms noticeably stronger already.

I've done 35s with added weight.  45s are a long term goal of mine.
