I might try a big bench press workout on Saturday. So, I'll probably post weights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStepien Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just fill you guys in.... Recently, been having some injuries, mostly lower back & nowadays my shoulder. I haven't been lifting heavy, just started more light bodybuilding. Grip training wise, haven't done much, honestly, kinda tired of grip training. I think I'll be taking a break for everything for awhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStepien Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Saw some stone lifting videos & a guy who talking about trying the dinnie stones... Achy lower back + back brace + lifting belt + taped thumbs + hook grip = 400 lb one arm ring deadlift!!! Lower back acted up after this lift was gonna attempt left hand, but back said not now buddy... Pretty much, did kettlebells & upper body giant set yesterday... trying to go light, no more heavy lifting... for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm gonna still post some stuff... Lately, back on the bodybuilder routine! Kinda, sorta the deep water method or a high intensity training... Training 5-6 days of the week... light weight, wearing a back brace just in case, but really don't need it. 1 hour of cardio... Last week, did 3 movements, tri set, 5 sets. Exercise #1: 10 reps #2: 10 reps #3: 20 reps... except for calves & abs, it's different... I forgot what I did last week... This week, 4 movements, exercise #1 : 5x15 #3 & #4: 1x50 Monday: legs 4x25 standing calf raises 1x100 again standing calf raises blaster #1: back squats with heels evaluated #2: zercher split squats #3: leg extensions #4: lying leg curls Abs superset 4x25 Broomstick twists & band crunches Tuesday: chest #1: incline dumbbell bench press #2: flat bench DB half moon flyes #3: flat bench DB bench press #4: incline dumbbell flyes Tried this after, not my best... Thinking about not training grip this week. If I do, it will be on Saturday. Lately, been watching more bodybuilding & masters division boxing... Hopefully, look good in a tuxedo for September!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be in the same boat as you are with the philly comp. snapped my left middle finger and it ain’t getting any better. Did it on the stupid hub lift. The lateral collateral ligament. Feels like it’s broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Be careful with them there broom stick twist Studd! Not good on the lumbar spine... especially with an already compromised back. Been there.... not a good move for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Oh Joe Sullivan not going? Got a boo boo finger? I thought, no matter what, you're going for the experience??? Joe Sullivan, the man who was gonna make grip sport great not going??? I know about twists, they weren't bad, more partial reps with them... back felt fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about twists, they weren't bad, more partial reps with them... back felt fine I don’t know if I can do the 2 handed events. I may go just to do the one handed... but I was looking forward to the axle and the country crush... also... nowhere in my post did I say I wasn’t going... only that I was in the same boat as you meaning “injured”. A lateral collateral ligament injury is not a boo boo. It’s actually a pretty messed up injury to have if you’re into grip. Thanks for your concern though! 👍🏻 Edited March 14, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Same boat as injured? Ok thought weren't going. I know another guy signed up only doing rolling thunder. I think it might be a good thing, I ain't competing! Grip world is a better place without me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if my finger doesn’t get better by then I will be forced to only do the one handed events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Shawn Parisi, owner of Savage City Strength by me. He told me he signed up, then later said only rolling thunder. His 1st grip contest. Cause, he's bugging me to go, but told him my situation. He thought I was joking at 1st... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
