I was actually thinking about going through this log to see if that 24 was the most I have done so far I think it might be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rphilton Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Very cool seeing you rep the #2.5 like that. Question for you... When you are hitting the hg300 for 10 reps to start your workout, how close to failure is that for you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am capping it at 10 reps though so hopefully in time it will feel easier any leave more in the tank for the following sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see you attempt an HG350, you must be close if not already there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've followed your log on and off and noticed a lot of folks mentioning that the volume you use is atypical. However, I think that's what has contributed to your steady progress. I intend to use something similar to get me over the COC certification hump. It appears I'm trailing your progress about 9 months. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your RT is impressive, getting closer to the almighty 200lb crushed to dust! Do you use chalk on the RT? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it will have good carry over. My best rolling thunder is only 150 + handle and pin so when I get down to singles it’s still way off 200. I haven’t really trained it consistently so hopefully I can bring that up. I use chalk on my rolling thunder and it had a decent layer of chalk kind of stuck to it now so that I’m sure is making it a little easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find high reps on a rolling thunder make figuring out a 1rm more challenging than squats or bench for example. You should give some thumbless rolling thunder lifts a try sometime, they're a great variation with carryover to the regular grip. I find it makes your fingers and wrist work harder to stabilize the weight & handle. Might be decent for hypertrophy purposes also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be able to do reps with a weight add 2.5lbs and fail for a single 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the blues are way harder than a 2" axle or silicone grips. Don't even get me started on the extreme's haha might as well be doing pinch training it opens the hands up so much. More experienced guys on the gripboard have said the discrepancies can be attributed to hand size and I've ancedotally found this to be 100% accurate. Almost like the moment you even add a milimeter sh*t changes fast! I'd be curious to see how you fair on a 2" bar. Also how big are your hands? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also provably exactly 6ft tall but my hands measure a bit over 7.6 inches, probably due to my somewhat shorter fingers.

I could be a little under 8 too hard to say where your wrist ends and hand starts. Right around 8 for sure though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
