Buccos1 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Congrats Carl! Thanks Tom! carl, Have you hubbed any plates at all? just the loadable hubs? No, just the Ironmind Hub - old and new. I'd like to try one though. My plates are very wide and shallow with the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting a little better, but I still prefer up on the toes. I will have to make some slight adjustments on the numbers I am planning.

There were eight guys in my division (bench-only) and I took 2nd overall. The pause/press commands were tough, which took a lot out of me on the second attempt. But, I was able to come back for an OK third. I am going to continue to mess with my programming over the next two months, and start working toward a 365 raw bench ... then 385, which would be double-bodyweight.

Buccos1 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 was that one hand dead on an axle or bar? It was on a G and G Fitness olympic barbell. It's a little thicker than my Texas power bar and a lot thicker than my DL bar. I've never even tried an axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Sun (11/17) Bench Press (1x8) 135 (1x3) 185 (1x3) 225 (1x3) 275 (1x2) 320 (1x20) 225 I was planning on hitting 225 for 15 reps, and suprised myself with being able to get 20. After the bench workout, I met up with Brent B. and did some grip stuff (pinch, fat bar, grippers). Brent has a lot of cool stuff which I did for the first time, like the adjustable pinch device and fat bar. I am planning on doing my first grip comp next month (Gripmas), so need to practice some of these events (even though the goal, I think for me in this would be to not finish last).

(This will be my first grip competition and I have a long way to go on almost every event! LOL) I figure to be way down the standings on pretty much everything, but am going to gain some experience, learn a few things, and maybe sell my Rolling Thunder (which isn't doing me much good!!). I like training with the Fatgripz so far. My hands are pretty small (7 3/8") so they are a good challenge for me. The 200 double overhand deadlift was near a max, as it was starting to slip. I got some PVC pipe and am going to try to make a pinch device. I'm going to have to do something with my 25s ... maybe grind them down a little, as they're way too wide to start adding weight. Doing this stuff is totally addicting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
