Adam Juncker Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thursday 10 5 16 Met up with @Handyman to do some baseline testing in prep for the southern squeeze 2017. I was pulling after a midnight shift and 0 sleep. Didn't have a flask so we sandwhiched 2-45# plates smooth sides out on broken collar and added weight. I pulled 135 2hp. Tried grippers with a 20mm block set. Closed a 125# but couldn't get my 130. Hopefully because of lack of sleep and Tuesdays gripper work. Pulled 91# on tips tester with right hand. I need to work with this implement more because I know I can get more. We did a bunch of miscellaneous grip items to simulate the medley: thick bar and RT, anvil, plate pinching, and even a stone carry. Realizing that I will weigh 195 at comp I've got get these numbers up, especially my pinch which is quite lousy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Sunday 10 9 16 Been on midnights this week and am pretty much worn out without doing any exercise. I typically only consume about 1000 calories a day when I'm on midnights because I feel like crap if I eat more than that. Had a good session of armwrestling today - about 2 hours of good ol' pullin'. For the remainder of the year I'm only going to train the hook. I've pretty much established that I can top roll and get hand control. The hook just feels too awkward for me, I like a defensive hook but always transition back outside - or lose. Don't think i will get any grippers in until the end of this week, but I am ready to fire back up on my routine.

Adam Juncker Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Haven't logged much over the last week. Work was pretty hard core and I was on midnights too. But here we go.... Thursday 10 13 16 Checked the ratings on a bunch of grippers. Did several 20mm block set singles. Managed a 132# tetting SM. Right hand. Friday 10 14 16 CCS right and left hand. Right hand is still not 100% with this ROM but I gotta try. Before tearing the ligament I CCS a ~130# 2.5. Right hand: Ghp4 91# 3,3,4,7 Ghp4 95# 5,2,4 Coc 1.5F 97# 3,2 HG200F 105# 1,1,1 36 reps total Left hand: Ghp 4 91# 7, 7 Ghp 4 95# 5 ,5 Coc1.5F 97# 3, 1, 1 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1 32 reps total 15 mins of sledge levering. - 5 reps each movement (cycled 4 times).All movements. I figured out that if I keep my thumb behind the handle when pronation my left wrist, it won't hurt. Did some sledge hammer curls and triceps extensions 2 sets of finger walks each hand. (8lb sledge) Yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Saturday 10 15 17 Finally getting back in to the swing of training. Circuit lifting - 3 sets each lift, ie. Pull ups then TTK, then hub etc. Then 1 min rest and start over. As little downtime between movements as possible. Pull ups x 5, chins x 5, chins on fat grips x 5 TTK right then left: 8.5lbs x 10, 11lbs x 10, 13.5 x 10 Shallow hub: 25lbs x 5secs x 5, 30 x 5 secs x 5 32.5 x 5secs x 5 Cannon curls with 10 lb counterweight 80 x10 85 x 10 90 x 8 (quit here because I was starting to cheat) 29lb blob: 5secs x 5 right and left - 3 sets 40lb dumbell palm curls: 3 x 10 reps - elbow braced on knee. Tomorrow??? Grippers as long as my skin can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sunday 10 16 16 Grippers CCS right and left Right hand: Ghp 4 91# 8, 7 Ghp 4 95# 6, 5, 1 Coc1.5F 97# 4, 3 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1 37 reps Left hand: Ghp4 91# 8, 8 Ghp4 95# 6, 7 Coc1.5F 97# 4, 4 HG200F 105# 2 (slammed shut), 1, 1 15-20 5 second holds on the HG200F each hand. Note: next time I'm gonna do holds or negs, bring a bigger gripper. The left hand is getting very comfortable with CCS and doesn't seem to be losing any MMS strength. Right hand strength is coming back, but just need to keep practicing CCS. I will probably only do MMS every week and a half or so because it doesn't seem to be waning.

Adam Juncker Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Tuesday 10 18 16 Did a little armwrestling today before work with a coworker. Grippers CCS closes. Right Ghp 4 91# 5, 5 Ghp 4 95# 5, 5 Coc 1.5F 97# 4, 4 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1 (slammed it) Coc 2 110# 1, 1 33 reps total Left hand Ghp 4 91# 5, 5 Ghp 4 95# 5, 5 Coc1.5F 97# 4, 4 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1 (meh) Coc 2 110# 1, 1 33 reps. Did a few bullet holds with Ghp 6 130# and a 2.7k plate. Only about 4 legit holds each hand and only for a few seconds. My right hand struggles to set a heavy gripper in my left hand. Wierd. No issues with left hand setting in the right. Really happy about the coc2 closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Did some bending tonight. DO in single imp's. Blues went down in about 5 secs each 1/4" x 6 g5's about 10 secs each 5/16" x 7 CRS about 20 seconds. Tried one of red nails from the new stock - yeah right. Not today. Got about 2 degrees out of it. In the words of Robert Plant, "I can't quit you [bending], but I believe I'm gonna have to put you down for a little while..." I'm not committed to bending right now so I think I'm gonna wait until I get burnt out on grippers again to hit hard. May do a little "recreational" bending but I'm going in too many directions right now to chase the red. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Grippers CCS closes Right hand Ghp 4 91# 1, 5 Ghp 4 95# 7, 7 Coc1.5F 97# 5, 5 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 36 reps Left hand Ghp 4 91# 4, 5 Ghp 4 95# 6, 7 Coc1.5F 97# 5, 5 HG200F 105# 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 1 35 total reps Next time I will bring a 110+# gripper. Need to start hitting the HG200F for multiples instead of sIngles. Wrists are pretty busted up from yesterday's bending and I'm really surprised I got as many closes as I did. During warmup I really thought this session would tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned the 32lber a few times Did a few holds on each one. Deadlift w/ 83# dumbell and blobs x 5 This wasn't an overly inspiring workout but I was pretty tired. the mind was willing but the body was not.

Once I get revenge on my CoC 2.5 CCS close i will feel like I'm back to normal. I may start splitting up right and left hand but that makes it tricky to train hub and pinch since I don't split those days up. Either way, I'm gonna keep smashing these stupid little things.

Adam Juncker Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 All lifts were done on each hand unless noted otherwise.2.5" crusher: wu 50x10 80x 5 91 x 5 100 x 5 R, 0 L (assisted the left hand up and held in a lock for 5 reps).Fat grip dumbell snatch: Wu 50 x 10 (good cardio) 63 x 8 70 x 5 80 x 5. (Cleans not snatches(back isn't feeling it today))1h tips tester: Wu 50 x 10 88.25 x 5 92.75 x 5 84.25 x 5 ( tried 95.5 but got 1 rep left, 0 right)Wrist wrench flexed wrist DL: Wu 37 x 10 50 x 5. Too easy 60 x 5 70 x 5 L (opened up at lockout) ( right couldn't get off the ground so I assisted it up and fought to keep a lock x 5 reps.) I'll regret these WW DL's- always do. Normally takes 2-3 days to recover to do some grippers. that must mean they assist gripper work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I7 woke up earlier than normal so I thought would get in a workout before everyone woke up. Mostly a hodge podge of stuff that doesn't go together . Hangs from a chin up bar (stretch) 3 x10 secs Leg raises while hanging from bar 3 x 10 Reverse wrist curl( using Hercules bar thing) 20 lb x 20 x 3 1 hand Bent over rows with a blob (right and left) 29 x 5 32.3 x 5 x 2 Shallow hub (right a left) 32 x 5 secs x 5 37 x 3 secs x 5 40.75 to LO x 1 I'm going to have to separate the day for blobs and hub - they just aren't going well together.

odin Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I would suggest to just throw blobs in at the end of a workout. They kill other stuff if you do them first and seem to go well with the hands warmed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I'm looking for some different stuff to do with the blobs. right now I just do stuff like: Isolating fingers (index on top, Pinky tucked) Curls rows I'm reading about guys doing drags, but I wonder kind of surface?, concrete, rubberized gym mats? and are drags used with blobs you can't lift? anything else I could be doing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
