MurrayStrongman Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 W1D2 - Speed Day Considered bumping my workout until tomorrow as I attempted my MM1 cert earlier today (waiting on results, stay tuned for vid) but my hand felt pretty good so I decided to go ahead with my workout as planed: warm up with IM Green egg for a few min #1x5x3 #2x5x4 #2Fx5x5 + #2.5x5x1 all reps done with as much speed and power as possible with minimal rest in between sets. Working Green Egg between sets for active recovery #2.5 was hard due to fatigue but close felt super wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayStrongman Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) W1D3 -Reps Day Warm up: Green egg #1x10x2 #2x10x2 #2Fx10x2 #2.5x10x1 #2.5x4x1 #2x6x1 #2x10x2 #1x25x1 (AMRAP) Got a huge forearm and hand pump from this workout. One of the goals as I progress will be to increase the number of reps on the 2nd set of 2.5 and then increase the number of sets I can compete before having to drop down to the #2 And the number of reps in the AMRAP.

MurrayStrongman Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) W2D1 - Heavy Day Late night at work today, had to rush through the workout to get to bed on time. Hand and wrist still a little tight and sore, presumably from Friday’s workout. 3.5 Attempt felt pretty good today and based on the video I would say I made some progress from last week.

On this day yes, keeps my rest intervals shorter, gives me a bit of active recovery plus increases the work load on a day that isn’t overloaded on weight or volume.

It will make things much easier. Moving the camera is way easier than moving your hand, arm and your whole body when trying to close a goal gripper and get a good video of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayStrongman Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 W4D1 - Speed day (deload) warm up with IM Green egg for a few min #1x5x3 #2x5x3 #2Fx5x3 Felt good to get the grippers back in my hand after an extended weekend. Hand still feeling a little beat up even after the extra rest so will continue with the deload week as planned and get back into it next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayStrongman Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 W4D2 - Reps day (deload) W/up: green egg #1x10x3 #2x10x3 #2Fx10x3 #2.5x10x1 Hand and wrist are feeling much better, but still not quite 100%. I will get back to my regular program on Monday and see how everything is moving and how the joints and muscles feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
