jvance Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 either way awesome stuff going on here Eric! I bet your grip is still on point, you try any feats lately or general hand training? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Jason is right. I grab the 100 like a steering wheel. Jon, I still do a little fun grip at least weekly. I tried a 35 pound plate curl the other day and was surprised to get 5 reps lefty and 3 righty, having not trained it in three years. I hit a few grippers every week, too.

Now I am one of those who is frustrated with the bastardization of the sport. This is not to say that I don't respect your numbers. You are strong as 'ell. Good luck in Orlando. I am glad you aren't letting the dilution of sport beat you down. It is such a shame because it is a great and fun sport. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I can certainly relate to how you feel. I was very disillusioned with the state of things for many years. Other than the occasional deadlift contest, I gave it up for about 17 years. But with the advent of raw lifting and serious drug testing in the USAPL I've found a home again. Raw Nationals had over 1100 lifters last year! So plenty of stiff competition, too.

EricMilfeld Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Bench 259x10 post-injury PR! Im really thrilled to be making steady gains on bench finally. And to be getting very close to my all time strength level I had over twenty years ago, with no small amount of my left pec missing is very encouraging. Key has been increasing to two workouts a week, varying low reps with very high reps, and dropping all assistance work, save heavy hammer curls.
