AM grip training at Rob's with Gus and three of Robs football players. I think Gus blew their minds haha.

Axle worked up to 325. Haven't tested this in over a year. Was hoping for more given my recent DO deadlift and 2.5" crusher PRs but I also know my hands were not fresh. I was really struggling with my grip in yesterday's workout. But I had other great lifts today. Grip is weird.

Silver Bullet, just shy of 10s on a 178 rated 3.5. Same one we used at cross Canada. After failed twice to get a bite with another 3.5 rated 182. 

Little big horn, worked up to 180 full lockout. Felt great. No video because Rob took a picture of the top of my head instead. 

Dinnie rings, 345 front, 270 back plate weight

2.5" climber pinch, worked up to 180 then 160×5sec×2

Bunch of plate curls with a 37lb plate shaped block weight and a 25lb plate

Gus blows my mind. I will always remember the first time I shook his hand and this bear paw almost ripped my arm off.

nice work with the Dinnie  rings.

Thanks Don! The last time I tore skin was on a dinnie lift so I was a little wary. Gus is an animal. Shaking his hand is like shaking a brick that squeezes back. I'm pretty sure he pulled 345 on the axle today. He casually pulled 315 on the dinnie ring too. Among assorted blob and hub lifts

That's some good filming right there

Gus pulled 345 to the knees.  He pulled 325 easily.  Plus several blob picks and everything else.  Solid session.

If I had any photoshop skills I would post a picture of Thomas J with an EZ curl bar but since I don't....

 

It's a loaded hamstring stretch. You can see how the finished position is the same as the toes to bar. I don't usually do reps but rather hang out in the bottom for several contract relax cycles.
