Adam Juncker Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Grippers CCS Right I messed up and did a test to see where I was on the coc2.5. I got it close but I really should not have tried . It was a miss that set the tone for the rest of the session. HG250F 105# 5, 4 LTCoC2 111# 4, 3 Tetting M 115# 3, 2, 1 CoC2F. 120# 1, 1, 1 CoC2.5 130# MMS singles with 5 sec hold x 10 I've got a super master that is 134-135. I'll bring it next time. The coc2.5 mms closes are going down too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Took some days off. Working extra at work, recently got promoted to supervisor, so that comes with some OT baggage. Managed to get some Left Hand Thick-bar, and Right Hand Pinch work in. Left wrist is feeling really good: Did some MMS Speed closes with grippers in the 70-100 RGC Range, feels good. My rehab for the Left Wrist seems to be working... I'm going to keep at it. Maybe just Do MMS or 1.5" block with the Left hand while I focus on Thick-bar. I think I overdid the Left Hand CCS training end of last year and that is what injured me. 1 Hand Flask: Right Hand 49 x 10, 53 x 10, 57 x 10 After the last session in which I increased weight slightly, I decided to go back to the percentages. I like the volume, and I think adding another set in week 5 is a possibility. 1 hand Tips Tester: Left Hand 79 x 10, 82 x 10, 85 x 10 I pulled 125 in comp, but couldn't budge 110 today. These weights at this volume felt good though. The Tips tester was fun for a change, but I want to focus on increasing my 2.5 crusher. One of my short term goals is to certify the CTD challenge. 200lbs on the RT isn't going to happen right now, even so, I like to train the Crusher more because of the spin. 32.3 blob: Right Hand: Clean x 10, snatch x 3, 37.7: Lifts to Lockout x 5, 45#: Drags The drags just aren't doing it for me anymore, I guess I need a heavier blob. CP1.0: Right Hand: 6 x 10 x 2, 7.5 x 10, 10 x 10 CP2.0: Left Hand Thick-bar attachment: 25 x 10, 33 x 10, 39 x 10 These were all small reps, not holds. Fat Grip Extreme Dumbbell Snatch: Left Hand 55 x 7, 55 x 5, 55 x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ever try blob negatives? Use one finger from the other hand to get it off the ground about knee high, then control it on the way down. And there's always platemates or some 2.5 plates with a rope draped on top to add a little weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of times I have to train once my kids go to bed, so I have to kind of dial down to stuff I probably wont drop. My 45# blob is painted, and chalk does not really help so I end up slipping. I'm considering by a single York Legacy 105 to cut up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yesterday was going to be grippers but it was really nice outside so I played with my kids. Using my stones and concrete dumbbell, I got quite a bit of work in. Toss/Flip & catch with misc. landscaping stones. 90# stone snatches 130# stone clean and presses + a few throws. concrete dumbbell clean and press, and 1 nasty snatch Left handed. 2HP the 90# and 130# stones. In between this I did some H.I.I.T. (Tag). Oh and I came up some grip training fun the whole family can enjoy. I palmed a rubber dodge ball and had my kids fight to get it out of my hand. They loved it and my thumb was getting blown up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Grippers CCS A really good session last night. Lots of energy. I did part of my conditioning routine in between gripper sets: 20 pushups, and 20 seconds of boat, superman, and oblique raises. I'm thinking this helped prime my CNS. That an having almost a week off from grippers.

I'm doing a lot of wrist work behind the scenes and it may be taking a toll. I'm gonna keep at it because my wrists are dismally weak.

wobbler Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Have any drill rod? Fights back a little more on the crush. I owe you a few bars so let me know if you want some. Got some .272 that's harder than 7mm (.2755). And some .290, .2969, .302. Got some rated irongrip bars too, 100-185 if you have some thing in mind.

I used a lathe at work to mil the round down .005 steps and worked up like that. I intended to cert the red last year but the new steel pretty much derailed that. I'm not sure which direction I'm going to go now. DO has always been my strongest style, but I think I may target some reverse for wrist strength. I've got about 100 blues laying around I will use for that for now. That HG250F is a filed down piece of junk. But it rates right where I need it for now. The spread on it starts at 2.25 and is less than 2 after a few closes. I have to pull it apart each session. I bought it on Amazon like 2 years ago and it was in a choker for about 6 months.

Adam Juncker Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Sunday 2 19 17 Impromptu armwrestling practice. My favorite hooker was there, so it was a good time. My arms are torched. From my finger tips to my shoulders and lats. I'm one giant bruise. Today will be some relaxation and some active recovery later. And I picked up a 41.3 blob for the first time. Only one lift though. We messed around with the dub hub too. Edited February 20, 2017 by Adam Juncker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Juncker Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Saturday 2 25 17 Grippers CCS Last week before deloading so I added an extra set. Left hand is back in the game too, although I didn't really push it too hard. I took about a 2 hour break in between the CCS sets and the MMS sets. It really helped to be somewhat fresh.

Adam Juncker Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Met up with @Handyman for some grip action. DO Axle deadlift: 1 hand and 2 hand 1 hand surprisingly got 150 right handed. It wouldn't budge lefty. 2 hand I worked up to a single at 300 but couldn't get anymore at that time. *note we used an off-Brand 2" axle. No knurling but it is painted. We also didn't have pro-lock collars. I still felt some spin but it left a little to be desired. I think it was decent anyway for never using an axle and not deadlifting in almost 5 years. RT: Left hand Worked my standard 3 x 10 at 90/105/115 1 hand Flask: right hand Worked 3 x 10 at 50/57/65 Tried a few singles at 70 and couldn't get to lockout. I believe they would have qualified as a 6" lift though. 2hand flask: Did some singles at 115, worked up to a single at 155. Much better than a a month and a half ago at So. Squeeze. I couldn't move a 41# blob today but Derek plucked the 37.7 like it was no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Tuesday 2 28 17 Instead of just misses tonight, if a rep was missed I fought it for 5 seconds and then braced it closed. This helped me in the past so I think it will be good do keep doing this. Tonight's session was great too. No misses(braces) in the first 2 sets. I think some progress is headed my way.

Adam Juncker Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Saturday 3 4 17 Tried this workout Friday and it just wasn't happening. So I busted it out Saturday. Did some armwrestling on Wednesday and it pretty much screwed my whole week up. That and a bunch of overtime at work I was just too worn out to get much accomplished. This workout went ok, but it is my last one before a deload and retest.

When my wrists are strong, everything increases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rehab philosophy was to keep the volume high and slowly ramp up the intensity. I had to make my wrists stronger not just get them to heal. Now it's going to be a staple for each week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be working with Gil and Maria on some programming next month so I need to know where I stand when they ask. So I don't want to get too crazy with my left hand, but I need to get some work in too. Did some light TNS work right handed (deload) Levering with both hands. Focusing on form increasing load each set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Juncker Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Friday 3 10 17 Not much energy last night but I got a wrist developer and a Vulcan so I had to play with those. I desperately needed some more grip tools, almost as bad as I need another hole in my head. My wife says the next tool I get has to be able to do the dishes, so if anyone has any ideas let me know. Left Coc1.5 90# 5, 5, Ghp 4 95# 4, 4 HG250F 105# 3, 3 LTCoC2 111# 2, 1+1b, 1+1b, 1, 1 Tetting M 115# 5 attempts. All barely missed. Vulcan holds. Black spring @ slots 4-4, 4-5 MMS closes with 5 sec hold X 7 First off, this is a cool tool. The set is very hard and I like the satisfaction of the crush. I'm not exactly sure where this thing is going to fall in training but see some possibilites. The wrist developer is equally as cool. I have 3 different springs: white, orange, and black. The white is really easy. The orange is a bit of a challenge, and the black is very hard. All are used so who really knows the difficulty. I managed to close the wrist developer at slots 4-5 one time with the orange spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Juncker Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Did my last deload on right hand on Sunday using the vulcan. I really like this tool. I did some research so I could understand the level system. Still question my springs as they are used and no longer in production and not really relevant to compare myself to anyone else. I'm going to increase the intensity on my left hand and lower the frequency. I looked back and I was averaging 2.4 sessions per week over an 8 week period last year. I gotta correct this because I believe it played a part in last year's injury that I'm just now overcoming. I'm also adding in heavy wrist curls 1 time a week with a modified 3" rolling handle. 1-5 reps x 3 sets at 90+% 1rm. This has always seemed to take away from grippers but I think it is about 75% mental. I'm going to retest my right hand and probably my left too later this week.

Adam Juncker Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I took another unplanned week off. I'm not one for excuses but I wasn't sleeping well and then got sick for about 3 days. About a week ago my right shoulder started hurting. Hurts most when raising it to the side. I've started a redneck version of club swinging using a balpeen hammer. Only a few days at this but I'm big believer in active recovery. I retested my right hand CCS Last night. 127#. I was really hoping to be in the 130s. I don't count it as a total loss though because I wasn't very disciplined and my programming wasn't all that good to begin with. I did PR on 1 hand Flask tonight at 70 lbs and lifted my half-85 for the first time. I realize these aren't really anything to write home about but I thought I'd at least write the GB about them anyway. 2.5" crusher: Left & Right 107, 97, 101, X 3 Fat grip extreme dumbell snatch: left 60 x 8 x 2 1 hand Flask: right 63, 65 x 3 68 X 1 70 x 2 Blobs: Right Misc.
