Jonathan McMillan Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I think I'm just too busy trying to hold on to the block to pay attention to the rest of the body's form. With heavier blocks I have a challenge keeping my arm straight -I have a tendency to bow them. Good job on the straight arms!!!!!

Jonathan McMillan Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I see you added the plate wrist curl to your routine -good stuff in that exercise at the very least it will help you with your plate curl. Keep it up your training is storming along!!! Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omillar Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 HH : I am quite pleased with the BB grippers. I find that they're not as nicely machined as the IM ones, but functionally they're great. It is really helpful for me to have these in-between steps; trying to go directly from a #1 to a #2 might have discouraged me. I'm glad you suggested I get them! Thanks to Terry, Thomas and Jonathan for the encouragement! - Ord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omillar Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Oct 20 Light gripper work: #T 2x5, #1 5x1 DB Wrist curls: 5x5 @45 DB Rev wrist curls: 5x5 @15 Plate curls - finally curled a 25# plate. Not perfect form - on the way back down, my wrist bends back a little. Did 5x with right, 1 with left. I felt a slight pull on the inside of the left forearm on the second attempt, and so decided to quit for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omillar Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Update: For the last couple of weeks I had stopped almost all grip work because I was preparing for a grappling tournament that happened on Sunday and wanted to make sure my hands were in good shape. In these last two weeks I have just been doing a few gripper closes each day with the #T, #1 and BBSA, and nothing else. I can now close the BBSA with either hand pretty much any time I pick it up. I found that the grip strength that I have developed so far did make a difference in competition, and in fact one of my team mates comented on it. I am now recovered from this last event, and ready to get back to more vigorous grip work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
