JJM Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Are you doing the bent press with kettlebells? Used to be my favourite exercise with "two hands anyhow". It took me several months to figure out the right technique with correct positioning and angles. Once I got there it was pretty effortless to lift relatively heavy weight overhead. After some fun time I neglected shoulder mobility and injured left shoulder doing bent press, preventing to press anything for over 1,5 year. Great old lift anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great old lift anyway Its actually with a makeshift dumbbell made from a threaded rod and some nuts. I am training from home at the moment and Im trying out old school style workouts. I started it a few weeks ago and its been going well. Adding a small amount of weight each week. When i get back to the gym I want to do it with barbells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen your vid and it wasnt sloppy, it looked pretty good to me. Great balance as well. Edited January 12, 2021 by mcalpine1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so springy. My braced bending is also garbage so its a great piece of steel to train on SB holds 3 148#: 8s, 7s, 0s (grip was fried) Excited to see that I can get a hold of the #3.

I will keep trying until it gives. The grade 5 bolt once felt impossible for me and now its a warmup. I just have to keep hitting the steel until I find the right positions to put maximum power into the bar.

I've been progressing alot with blobs lately and I have noticed significant thumb pad growth. I wish I owned a TTK but for now the pony clamp pinch device works fine.

bruce1337 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Big gripper donation from @Fist of Fury arrived today. Included an assortment of grippers, different size fat grips handles, a grip ball, and DHWOG 12mm mid length rated steel. I am very excited for the mid length braced bending attempts. Big thanks again to @Fist of Fury for the donation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
