I dont know the english term for it. But I pulled something in my left forearm on the first workset during RT. It left me powerless. It nothing serious, but still really annoying. I think it will be gone in a couple of days. The rolling thunder always gives me minor problems. Jedd Johnson gave me some awesome advice and maybe it could help you out. He told me my issue could be an imbalance or weakness causing my issue(pain near my scapula). However,if you are truly hurt then that wouldn't fix things. If you're curious, I fixed my issue by giving more attention to lat and traps and it seemed to ease up my pain.

I'm not sure if I understand. Do you think me "pulling" a muscle in my forearm might be from imbalance in the upper body? I'm always intrested in tips and pointers. However, I dont do any other work-outs then griptraining. Hopefully I will start full body work-out in the future. But right now I dont have the motivation.

To be a little more clear on things, if it's an injury I would back off training for a few days to see if that helps. For me I was feeling an imbalance and had to strengthen other muscles for the imbalance to be fixed. I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments Some good, some bad. Left hand feels weird. It was close on the 2.5 30mm block. Its not that bad. But I'm pretty sure my crushing strength has fallen somewhat.

Slippery Pete Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 GHP5 CCS L2 R2 CoC#2.5 CCS L0 R0 Such good attempts. Really close. RB180 CCS L9 R10! PR CoC#2 CCS L9 R9 PR GHP4 30mm block set (speed) L5,5,5 R5,5,5 Wrist Wrench curl 60mm 10kg L20,20,20 R20,20,20 Comments This workout was so much fun. Felt great today. Was really shocked how easy RB180 felt. Also, I realized what has been causing the wear on the left wrist. It's the welding I have been doing lately. A trial with complex angle has worn on my wrist.

Three reps on 2.5 is decent. Wished I was able to do four or five. In time I guess. Rest of the grippers was very "meh".. It's really strange how heavy that 30mm handle is. I bet 75kg or less would be my max. Quote "You couldn't figure out the worlds theory by yourself?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sloppy. Should have been able to close it. A good negative with the #3 with left hand. Right was bad. I can't really get a good set with right. I made a gripper to my six year old goddaugther.

Stainless steel, 6x180mm and 6x150mm Today I made two new rollers for my rolling handle. One 50mm, and the other 60mm. Both of solid aluminum. Way harder than Rolling Thunder ofc It was unexpected that my right hand was so much weaker today.

Slippery Pete Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 10/11 DO-Bending Stainless steel 6x180mm 1 bend 6x120mm Attempt. Got the kink. But couldnt finish. 5x120mm 1 bend. Very easy. Rolling handle 50mm 40kg L10,10,10 R10,10,10 + Sledge hammer work, easy. Comments I can handle 6x150mm quite easy now. But it feels like a big jump to 120mm. Feels really awkward with that short of a bar. My right hand felt really trashed after the bends. The attempt on 6x120mm killed me. Maybe it is a bad idea to do griptraining after bends? Here is a bend from a few days ago. Any advice is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippery Pete Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yesterday I did 8x170mm HRS, which is a new PR. There is pain in my right hand however. Planing to stay away from bending about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
