Lennix Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Bench: 20x10 40x10 60x5 80x3 100x3 120x2 130x1 135x1 100x11 @10 80×15@9.5 Axle deadlift: 75x8 115x5 135x3 155x2 135x2 115x3 75x3 Gripper holds med #2 och #3 Biceps/triceps rehab. So decided to try axle, works fine but on heavy lifts when the axle starts to roll down it hurts abit and I'm weaker. If I widen the length between hands I get more pressure on index finger and less on my pinky but also loose some kgs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTGlass Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Give that hand time to heal. Does this look like a tendon injury with this loss of strength and persistent pain? If you think yes, give your body the time it will need to correctly heal up. It’s disappointingly slow process but better than growing in to more complex trauma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it didnt hurt but I could feel on my second rep on 155 that I shouldn't go any higher/do more reps because that would be risky(that's what I mean being weaker). I can do platepinch and lift kettlebells without it hurting/being weaker. I cant close grippers with it tho, it's just the last bit when I close my hand that it hurts. So I wont do that. So I can train around it with ease Do you think that's taking precaution enough or fully rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got retarded when the 190kg deadlift was so easy and did 10. Finger wasn't to pleased so stopped there. Happy with PR on SB with ~10 seconds.

Lennix Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Pinch 80mm block 10x10 15x10 20x10 25x5 (left 3) 30x5 (2) PR 37.5x1.5 PR 40.4x1 PR Coc#4 SB 0 - 8! Pr with 5 seconds #3.5 7 - 14 PR Great workout, got my block really chalked up nice with some spit and heavy rubbing. Really happy with the numbers, its 40.4kg with loadingpin but without the block so the real weight should be 40.8kg. 1 month ago i couldn't do 32kg.. Slight tilt on the SB so not competition style but still super stoked with 8 seconds. I can improve my technique with some small adjustments to my setting. Further down in the hand and better use of leg to close it will give me a few more seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennix Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Silverbullet: 39 seconds PR 24 35 31 27 37 klickreps with #1.5 then I thought my arm literally would explode I had a small blister from last SB in the middle of the hand which the skin tore of from now. Its healed underneath but not completely, I'm not sure how to treat it the best way possible.. moisture? It's to bad that the competition in 2.5 weeks doesnt allow higher gripper then #3 the endurance is killing me xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennix Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 10 hours ago, Hopefully said: Layer of those fake skin products? Possibly not allowed maybe.. I think it makes sense having the same gripper for everyone. It is a test of endurance after all. No worries it's not that bad It's not wrong at all, it would just favor me more if I could use #3.5 Also I don't like holding it for so long, its really painful!

When holding the 75kg axle I tried some things and found a new technique. I twist my arms abit so my elbow crease is pointing forward much more, putting alot more pressure on my thumbs instead of pinkie! My finger feels good now but weak, will start working it out with squeezing balls and fingercurls! KB pinch was fun to increase weight but not size of the bell. Felt strong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennix Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I had the urge to squeeze some grippers last night. It didn't go to well, I also felt weak. #3 2 attempts on CCS both with 1mm left #3 3 short rom reps, not sure if last was closed fully. But there was something positive from the workout! I used my left for the first time since the pinkie injurie first did like 30 reps with no name 1 dollar gripper without pain. And ended with doing like 10 mms reps and a couple of CCS closes with the #1.5 without to much pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennix Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, Hopefully said: Isnt it time to lower volume soon and start doing just a few heavy singles for the comp? Or What's the plan? Yea that's the plan! I'm not sure exactly what to do this week gripwise. I'm going to workout Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week and then my last grip workout will be next monday where I simulate competition (Axle - Pinch - SB - Medley) So my forearms/hands will get 4 full days of rest while I only do some benching. I think I'll do Axle next workout so it's furthest away from competition and only a few singels, perhaps push myself towards 170 without destroying my finger. Silverbullet on Thursday (think I'll go for #3.5 and 2 sets to get the last horsepower and Pinch on Saturday since I feel that's the least taxing before my pre comp comp. The only thing bothering me is that my "pre comp comp" says nothing since I dont have IM Apollons/IM Block hence I wont know where I am on the official equipment. But the good thing is that I get a feeling how how tired I will be after each event. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so if I'm reading this right if you do your next axle session on Tuesday will you be going a full 10 days without an axle lift before the comp? I don't know how your finger injury is going but 10 days without training a specific lift fbefore a comp is normally a bit long. Normally you'd want one session where you push reasonably hard without going all out in the last 5 days or so before a comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow will be my last training day on the axle but as I stated in the first part that I will do a competition day next Monday 5 days away from competition where I do all the lifts in correct order. Yea, finger is not good but working! The only thing that can be a problem is with the Axle, doing kettlebell lifts/pinching etc is no problem. I wont be able to do 180kg axle for sure tho (and that's what I pulled with ease the first time I tried it. Good thing is that on the competition I can do as many pulls as I like on the axel! That way I can start on 130kg and get a feel for the equipment and loose some stress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That sounds like a good plan then Thom. I wasn't trying to suggest that 5 days of no training was ideal either, that's just getting close to the longest you want to have between your last session and the comp. A young guy like you could even train reasonably hard 3 days before a comp and turn out well. Just don't go for any PR's in the last session and finish a bit fresher than normal. I'm sure you will do well Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennix Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Lately I've seen so many videos of wrist workouts. Platecurls/wristplatecurls and I'm absolutely mind blown over how strong people are. I can't do anything with my wrist I feel like.. I can hardly platecurl 10kgs (well, can hardly curl anything with my right because of some tendonitis in my biceps tendon) but still, can't do it with my left either. So I'm figuring I need to start working on my wrist strength.. Not sure how to begin though.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing is to train the wrists in a circuit sort of bodybuilders would do with superset and trisets. There's six different ways you can work, so doing them all in a circuit will save you a lot of time and it will also force you to use appropriate weights to start with. You can also start with a wrist roller, howerver, if you do that you also need to train pronation, ulnar and radial deviation of some sort.

It's about training the muscles and tendons, it's not about specializing in a certain event. certification fee is 40$ for international. The rest depends entirely on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
