Lennix 533 Posted November 19, 2019 Grippers: #1.5 5 5 5 #2 1 #2.5 ×1 #3 1 (left 0, continued with misses on 2.5) #3.5 choked 8mmx1 12mmx1 PR 12mmx1 SB right hand #4 4 11 2 left hand very tired today. No really good setting on silverbullet but still happy to be able to get some seconds even after doing heavy grippers. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopefully 612 Posted November 19, 2019 @Lennix That is a very good close, choke or not. Should be close to a proper close with a good set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could just precisely close #3 once with my right. Then #3.5 2 seconds sb and like 3 tries more before I gave up and did 5 seconds with #3. Completely fried forearms. Well well! From a competitors point of view grippers are least important part of a winning score sheet. Chase that big axle lift and everything else rises with the high tide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know really, perhaps with a optimal set i could close it but unfortunately I think the choker helps to much. 6 hours ago, AdamTGlass said: From a competitors point of view grippers are least important part of a winning score sheet.

I take that as a compliment that your reading the beginning of my log I also seen that my gripperstrength increased alot doing fatbar training. I have 10 workouts left to complete the rolling thunder program I'm on and after that axle is my next priority. I will build a homemade axle to atleast have a straight bar to work with.

Great work on the RT. 20 reps with 61kg is awesome. The plate pinch rotation is a great idea. Im going to try it. Id imagine it gives a great thumb pad pump?

Id imagine it gives a great thumb pad pump? Thanks! The plate pinch rotation idea actually came from reddit who runs a competition this month with 25x2lbs plates max rotation on 30 seconds. Since I didnt have any 25lbs plates I ran with what i got. I was expecting thumb pad pump but unfortunately 15kgx2 plates was to heavy. If thumb pump is the goal I would use 10/25lbs plates instead because I actually felt nothing in my thumbs (which was my goal to support my RT) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im looking forward to trining these after my next rolling thunder workout on friday. I love plate curls as an RT assistance exercise. 2x15kg is quite heavy tp do dynamic work yeah but shows you are stong. Ill start out light, thanks.

I gained around 7kg since august with a competition with only 105+ class I saw no point in being 115 so gained intentionally. I've been 126kg at most but lost 16kg last year. Power bellie gives me alot in squat when I get used to it, it's a matter of technique to be able to bounce on the belly in the bottom. Mobility loss is due to not squating to much aswell 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMilfeld 2,931 Posted November 28, 2019 The 120 class will be my personal superheavy class. I’m free to eat as I wish with no risk of ever having to cut weight for a meet. It seems my squat goes up with any sort of weight gain as does my bench to a lesser extent. My deadlift says, “ Your power belly doesn’t impress me.” 😮😆 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I have exact the same. Deadlift is super awkward with belly, cant eat before session else I feel like I'm going to puke any second. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
