But now i do .5 jumps. The 2.5lb jumps set back progress and did a number on my wrists. Definatly .5 to 1lb jumps every couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Will get a 20LB and will do my attempts starting above. Then slowly come down. Then I see where I am and I saved money buying one instead of 2 or 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful as it could wreck your wrist if tried to jump to a higher hammer before the tissues are accustomed to it my brother. I think the ideal way is to make your 12 into an adjustable one. Have a nut welded onto the face of your 12 - then you can use different lengths of bolts to add small weight plates (1 1/4# - 2.5 - 5 etc) and treat it like you would any other weight exercise with progressive resistance training. Another option would be magnetic Platemates which would eliminate any needed welding. Edited November 9, 2017 by climber511 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was into powerlifting before I had to stop due to back surgery. I always was very strong right out of the gate with anything I approached. I deadlifted 430 the first time I tried at 15 years old.

Andrew Dube Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Another combo sledge feat from this weekend. Stacked 14kg bells and sledge loaded to 15.5lbs. This one took quite a few tries! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just did a 16 lber for the first time ever at the medley in gripmas this past weekend. Pretty stoked about it since my wrist have always been a weak point. Going to keep training them hard since I would like to do a 20 lber this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have Arm wrestledwas when I was a kid, I have not Arm wrestled as an adults, I feel that there’s too much of a chance to be damaging tendon ruining my other plans for grip! I would love to do it as it looks like great fun and I think that I would do very well at it… But the risk isnt worth the reward for me Edited December 13, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
