I like your workout format.  If I were to go back and look at practically any workout I've done in recent memory, it would look extremely similar.

Training Today,

1) Warm ups with light grippers 

2) Thumb training with spring clamp 4 sets x 10 second hold 

I felt like crap today so I focused on thumb training since I know for a fact its a weakness for me. Training should never be wasted, I feel you should always make something out of it. Even if you are frustrated.

Monday 01 October 2018 

1) light grippers for warmup 

2) CCS coc #2 x 3 sets 

R 5,5,5

L 3,3,3

2) CCS coc 2.5 rated 128, closed with right hand. This is a PR for me. Best CCS I've done was my coc 2 at 110. 

3) 20mm block reps x 2 sets with coc 1.5. All out 

R 19,19

L 11,10

Time to start doing these with the coc 2. 

4) expand your hands x 100 

5) 5 sets x 10 seconds 

pinky and ring finger training with a coc #1 upside down. I just cheat shut and then hold. I used to have all the IMTUGS but for some reason wasn't a huge fan of them and traded for other things.

1) bench 185 x 12 x 3 sets

3) zercher squats 135 x 5 x 3 sets 

4) tried out my buddy's Coc 2.5 rated 129 and CCS it no problem. PR again for me this week. I know I must be somewhere between 130 and 140 for a CCS. I'm going to pay attention to cannons site and grab something soon. 

I hope everyone has a great night.

Thats great! Bet you will get the CCS on CoC#3 in no time. 

I never tried bending, but from what I can understand bending the Red Nail is no small feat.

Thank you for the kind words. 

The red nail is a beast and to me the most important thing was developing pain tolerance. Once you can manage the pain it becomes easier.

20 min spent doing various movements with my 8 pound sledge hammer. The sledge has transformed my strength over the years so I always find a way to squeeze it in whenever possible.

1) 8lb sledge workout 

I really dont know how much this transfers to my grippers but to be honest I friggen love the sledge. Maybe I'm Just old school. However, I've never had wrist or forearm pain. I typically have a full 20 min workout with various movements once a week. 

2) 10 min spent with dexterity balls
