Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Today's training (6.1.2019.): Hex bar deadlift: 120 kg x 1; 150 x 1; 180 kg x 1; back hurt Narrow legs up bench press: 80 kg x 8 x 5 superset RT high cable row: stack x 10 x 5 superset Towel hangs + biceps: 2 x max Arm wrestling: 80-95% x 8-10 I've hurt my back, since they were already hurting from the squat two days ago. Grip is feeling pretty good, but I have to work on my deadlift strength, since my double overhand is stronger than what I can lift, and deadlifts were always a problem for me. I've arm wrestled two friends of mine, and they are both stronger than me, since I couldn't train my wrist or biceps for years, but I'm getting there.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Today's training (9.1.2019.) Incline bench press: 90 kg x 3 x 5 superset Reverse hyperextension: 50 kg x 15 x 5 Triceps extension: mini band x 25 x 5 superset Robert Baraban adjustable gripper: 4-4 x 2 R; x 1 L; forced closes x 3; 4-3 x 1 x 2; 3-3 x 5 L; x 4 R My back still hurts, so no other work was done today. I can't do thick bar off the floor, nor pinch, because of my thumb, so crush it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Today's training (10.1.2019.): 4 mm 2h pinch: 30 kg x 5; 40 kg x 5; 50 kg x 5; 60 kg x 5; heavy sets were tilted towards me AW thick bar pulldown: 65 kg x 10-15 x 4 Hanging leg raises: 15 x 2 superset Reach the sky: 12 x 2 Biceps (cheat*) curl: 30 kg x 10; 40 kg x 8; 50 kg x 5; 60 kg x 5*: 70 kg x 5* Reverse FG biceps curl: bar x 12 x 2; no fg x 12 x 2 Grip and arm wrestling focused workout. I made a pinch block from a piece of aluminum, and it's pretty sharp. It's way, way easier when tilted, but I used a very primitive way of strapping it to the loading pin, and it had to be done that way. I also have a 5 mm block, and I'm making a wrist wrench.

My right thumb injury is holding back my thick bar and pinch progress a bit, but I feel it's gonna be even stronger when it recovers, because I'm stressing my fingers more.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Today's training (18.1.2019.): RB adjustable: singles h 1-1 + e 5-6 all time best; #2 singles x 4-5 Push ups: 20 x 5 Still taking care of my back, letting it heal. But it doesn't make any difference since they keep hurting. I'm just gonna resume training normally on the 21. Gonna try to motivate myself to reach MM0 + cert the #3 after that since I feel that crushing strength stays with you for a long time.

The #1.5 that's arriving is going to mean so much to me, when I get some reps in, I'm gonna jump to reps on the #2 very fast. I can't wait to do some silver bullet holds too.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Today's training (29.1.2019.): Wrist wrench: 25 kg x 1 all time PR; 20 kg x 5 x 5 superset Plate wrist extension: 2.5 kg x 30 x 4 superset Decline bench abs: 25 kg x 20 x 3 superset Hanging leg raises: 15 x 3 AW pull ups: 25 kg x 5; 45 kg x 1 + 2 x 0.5; 25 kg x 6 + bw x 10 x 2 Wrist levering: 1.25 kg x 15 x 3 both sides I made a wrist wrench, and it works great, I think I'm good for 30 kg when I'm recovered. It's 60 mm in diameter. It really works the thumbs and wrist flexion like nothing else, it's going to be a staple for training my wrist.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Today's training (31.1.2019.): Incline bench press: 95 kg x 3 x 5 recent PR Front squat: 90 kg x 3 x 5 CoC #2: 5 attempts, every single successful with right, one with left, but it's just that the gripper isn't meant for left hand RB adjustable: 1-1 h 5-5 e x 20 second x 2 holds all time PR; 1-1 h 4-4 e x 8 R clicker reps; (8) L I'm feeling strong as an ox. When my #1.5 arrives I will destroy the #2 for reps in a month and a half to two months. I plan on completely dominating it. My left arm struggles with clicker reps, it seems neurological, so that's gonna be worked on. I literally felt 30% stronger in this session than in the last one. My incline and front squat is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Today's training (3.2.2019.): Arm wrestling practice: ~30 minutes of work at max effort, both hands First time going to an arm wrestling practice, doing it with an actual arm wrestler and a real table. I felt pretty strong, but my wrists, with the injuries I have just cannot get into proper position without major pain. There's also the constant fear of reinjury, and the agony I went trough doesn't allow me to use maximal effort, so that's also a big issue. My right wrist cannot come into a full top roll, my left wrist hurts really bad when I do a top roll too. And the biggest issue is that I cannot train supination and pronation with weights at all, since it makes my wrists crack constantly and they hurt for a week afterwards. It was a pretty good experience, but I doubt I will be doing it regularly, maybe once a month for fun. I might postpone my thick bar + deadlift training for the 5.2., depending on how I feel tomorrow.

Thick bar work was fine, maybe 5-10% off, but double overhand grip on a regular bar made my elbows hurt like hell. Still, this is my best DO set ever and I feel really strong.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Today's training (7.2.2019.): Military press: 50 kg x 3; 60 kg x 3; 70 kg x 3 Front squat: 50 kg x 3; 70 kg x 1; 90 kg x 1; 92.5 kg x 1 INJURY Incline bench press: 90 kg x 3 x 6 superset TNS gripper: #1.5 x 8 x 6 both hands PR superset Seated row: 40 kg x 15 x 4 I've injured my back on the 1st rep of the 1st set on my front squat. It was a mistake to do heavy military press prior to FS. My incline feels very strong, and so does my crush grip. #1.5 is easier than I thought.
