Durrs Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks brothers! 6/28/14-Bp/Grip Fgx CGBP: 215# x 3 x 10 sets Superset w/ Rolling Thunder: 70%(LH-105#), (RH-90#) x 6 x 6 sets Gripper strap holds x 10#- SM(111#) x 10 seconds dropped grippers each set x 4 more sets RT took a lot out of my strap holds I was about 10 seconds weaker than when I was fresh last week. I got to get this RT up though so I'm running a modded smolov JR for the next 4 weeks. It's going to be 4 RT sessions a week then I'll test and if it works and then I'll do the regular smolov and get up over 200#. At least that's the plan. We'll see if it works.

Durrs Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 6/30/14-Squat/RT ssb atg up to 205# x 3 drop to 170# x 3 x 3 superset w/ RT: 75%(LH-112.5#)(RH-95#) x 5 x 7 sets GHR: 5-7 x 5 sets I am still sore from the 6 x 6 on Saturday and I could feel an even bigger soreness coming on in my LH so I dropped to 110# on the 4th set and finished it out. RH felt great. I think you have to push through some soreness to make gains on this lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I will be fully recovered for tomorrows RT session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 7/2/14-Pullups/RT/Core Wtd pullups: 72# x 5 x 5 sets Bw pulups: 75 reps (multiple grips/sets) RT: RH-112.5#, LH-97.5# x 4 x 8 sets GHR back raise: 10# behind neck x 20 x 5 sets GHR situps: 10# on chest x 10 x 5 sets For me the forearm muscles are too small of a group to hit 70,75,80,85% for designated reps in one week so I'm going to scrap those percentages and just go up 2.5# a session as long as I hit my reps. Deload. Test and program from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 7/3/14:RT Today I felt my forearm muscles coming apart in my left arm (at least that's what it felt like) on the 5th set and called it. Supposed to do 3 x 10 sets but I'm going to have to wait for this bastard to heal before I start up on this program again. It's pretty evident I'm not ready for this kind of volume yet. Still learning. GHR back raise pause reps x 10 x 5 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thickbar and RT takes way more time to recover from than other grip feats. 7-10 days atleast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thickbar and RT takes way more time to recover from than other grip feats. 7-10 days atleast. Yeah my first session was 6 x 6 @ 70 percent no problem but it just got progressively worse all week. Yeah I believe it now. I got to give my left arm at least 7 days the way it's feeling. Still gonna bend on saturday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 7/5/14-Dips/Nails Wtd dips: 95# x 3 x 7 sets Superset w/Nails Yellow x 1 Blue x 1 Gold x F Pre-wobbled Red x F Fgx CGBP:200# x 3 x 5 sets I had to wrap up and try a legendary Gold Nail today just to see what I was up against and that thing did not disappoint. I have serious respect for anyone who even wobbles that sucker in any wraps! I timed my attempt on about the 4th work set of dips where I feel my peak is and it didn't budge, I ended up giving it about 10 all out hits.. dropped to a Red and couldn't finish a crush I was so spent. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrs Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 7/8/14-SQ/Accessory SSB atg: up to 220# x 2 Drop to 170# x 3 x 7 sets Superset w/ GHR: 5 x 7 sets Lat raise drop sets:10/5/2.5# x 30/30/30, 30/30/30, 30/20/20 BB Shrug: 135# x 30r x 7 sets RT: LH-108# x 25R, RH-93# x 25r I got a lot done today, I figure I need to do get used to some volume on the RT before I try the Smolov program again so I'm keeping it around 70% and doing a rep out but leaving a couple in the tank. I'll probably do this for a month 3x a week and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Scibelli Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nice PRs Durrs!Thanks bud! The Hub is a weird animal. Do you think it helps grippers?I think it will carry over some if it builds up the thumb pad.

Do you think it helps grippers?I think it will carry over some if it builds up the thumb pad. I haven't trained on it consistent enough to notice though Yeah that makes sense. It's hard for me to work into a grip workout if I don't make it my primary lift and it takes sometimes 10 days for the finger joint nearest my nail bed to recover. I'm not consistent enough either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honk Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think it will carry over some if it builds up the thumb pad. I haven't trained on it consistent enough to notice though I don't think hub works the thumb enough to make a difference. Pinch and Thickbar. I guess dynamic thumbwork should help but very few people seem to be doing it consistently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 7/12/14-Bp/Nails FGExtreme CGBP: 200# x 5 x 10 sets Superset w/Nails Yellow x 1 Blue x 1 Gold x 5 all out hits, 2 in singles, 3 in doubles x F Pre-wobbled Red x moved slightly Pre-almost crushed Red x finished crush Blue x 2 RT: (LH-113.5 x 20)(RH-98.5 x 20) I can't stop trying to attack this Gold Nail even though I know I should work up to it It's turning into something I really enjoy doing. I felt like I was going to pass out after my first hit on the Gold I was trying so hard. Here's a vid my bro took today of my last set after a lot of nail attempts this is what I've been doing and it worked on the road to the Red so I'm going to keep pushing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZbgoopSVMk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think there are LOTs of steel to bridge the enormous gap between the red and the gold nail. Maybe try some Fbbc bastards? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I think there are LOTs of steel to bridge the enormous gap between the red and the gold nail. Maybe try some Fbbc bastards? Yeah I know brother. I will get into that steel, I'm just having a good time going all out on the Golds for now. Five or six all out hits on it fatigues me so much I can barely move a pre-wobbled Red. Good times. Btw that was a IM Blue nail in the video just so there's no confusion lol Edited July 12, 2014 by Durrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 respect the fact that you are trying for the gold! Seemed to work for the red whatever you did man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 respect the fact that you are trying for the gold! Seemed to work for the red whatever you did man! Thanks man. We'll see what happens, I just got to make sure I'm super warmed up before any attempt so I can stay healthy and keep at it. The bastards got to break at some point right!? Maybe a year or five but it'll break I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
