I set a goal a while back to 1H pinch 80lbs+ on any size pinch block, so I'm glad I got that monkey off my back.

💪🍻

Yeah man I'm terrible at it and it's a work in progress lol. Nice thing is because I find it so different from other grip implements I can milk the newb gains for the time being 😁

What are your thoughts on the Grab Ball? You put up some strong numbers on it 💪 I read somewhere on the board a guy mentioned it was like a tips tester+hub hybrid type of lift?

Newb gains gonna be sick!!!

 

I like the Grab Ball, never used a tips tester. I see how it's like a hub with all the fingertip action. I definitely recommend getting one!

Good to know! I'm using an Arm Assassin thumb blaster+hub to hopefully help with carryover to the Grab Ball. No clue if it's worth while though, guess I'll find out lol.

Wanted to go a bit heavier on the Russian Brick aka the 80mm Silarukov but it really stresses my thumbs and I want to be carefull with the really wide pinch lifts.

Thanks Steve! Just trying to keep up with you guys. I do these lifts strict and with alot of ROM because I find it makes it easier to set PR's at the comps 👍

Excited to see you get the MM1! I agree with @strangeryou must be close to the MM2.

Aug 20 2022 training. 

Axle Deadlift-1x1(310lbs)*PR, 1x12 second hold(275lbs), 1x20 second hold(255lbs)

BB Finger Curls-8x6

Inspired by @matekI decided to warm up with regular bb squats before axle deadlifts. Just got up to a few easy doubles with 225lbs so I didn't fatigue. These were done raw+beltless/no sleeves. Did some glute and core circuit training at the end of the session.

Congrats on the PR!

I found squats to be a really good warmup for thick bar. Sometimes I throw in a few good mornings as well.

Aug 27 2022 training

IM Stacker Curl-5x2(22lbs)

FBBC Pro DB-7x1(119lbs) 13x1(111lbs)

Bodies trashed from gym workouts & work. I've been doing the usual squats, dips, neutral grip pullups(usually with fat gripz), bench etc. Really pushed the intensity with this grip workout. Inch lifts were near max and plate curls weren't far off. Still using the big 25lb Cap plates on the 2.5" Pro DB for extra rotation. The only thick bar implement I use that's harder in difficulty is the wrist wrench.

Is the FBBC pro about the same as lifting the inch pound for pound or harder?

Harder for sure. I used to use the 10lb plates to simulate the inch height better but I switched those out for a bunch of 25's for convenience sake. You would think less rom therefore easier but the extra height from the 25's makes it want to rip out of your hand even more. It's nice that its 2.5" instead of 60mm so you're closer to the tougher inch style bells size. I find I get great carryover from the Pro DB to rolling handle lifts. Sucks it's a pita to build though 😁
