maidenfan Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 10/03/06 G-Rex (two hand) - Body x 10, Body x 10 TT Thumbs (thumbs on top) - 20x15 Bending: Yellow (DU) x 1 G8 (6" DU) x 1 Blue (Heslep) x 30 degrees Blue (DU) x 2 in a row ~40 seconds Blue (DU) x 1 ~10 seconds Cortisone shot in the shoulder has made it feel great - hope that and the exercises will cure the issue. The bending was pretty good today - got a decent kink in the G8 which was a PR. Blues went like butter also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 It feels a lot better, thanks. I havent put any load on it though, I'm just going to lay off until my next doc visit on the 20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 10/12/06 G-Rex (two hand) - Body+25x10, B+50x5 G-Rex (one hand holds) - B+100x1, B+125x1 (slight gap, right only), B+150x(slight gap, 1/2 sec hold then opened up) TT Thumbs (thumbs on top) - 22.5x10, 25x8 Bending - Yellow x 1 (DU) Blue x 1 (DU) Blue x 1 (reverse) Red x Fail (DO - felt awkward, no technique) Blue x 5 in a row (DU) 5.5" 60d x 1 (DO) 5" 60d x 1 (DO) 4.5" Blue x 1 (DO) Still trying the Double Overhand stuff - seem to be getting better. Its probably a shoulder flexibility issue as the shorter stuff seems more comfortable. The 4.5" blue was a good bend for me. My hands are a tad sore as the IronMind pads dont provide much protection with the DO style. Heres a video of my last bend, please critique.

FrankyBoy Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Looking good to me. Especially with IM Pads the 7" gets very challenging for me. Honestly the 6.5" Red was easier with IM Pads than the 7" Red. On longer bars the form gets critical, much more muscles seem to be involved to get the force right onto the bar. e.g. the biceps comes more and more into play to keep the bar under the chin. All that needs to be 'synchronized' in some way, that needs some time but you'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks Franky - I just need to keep throwing in a few DO bends in each workout and it'll come soon enough. I'm still having issues w/the reverse bending though - after one bend the tops of my forearms are sore enough that I cannot do another bend. I'm starting to think that the G-Rex gripper work I've been doing prior to bending has something to do with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 08/10/07 DL (DO) - 245x1, 335x1, 425x1, 515x1 PR (No chalk or belt and the knurling on the bar sucked so I cheated and used a over/under on last set). 45min of wrestling Trained at the jail gym today. A work buddy trains at Team Quest, so he tried teaching me some wrestling moves. 1/2 speed for the first 30mins or so I was fine, but we picked it up the last few mins and I gassed out FAST. He only weighs 145lbs, so it was beneficial for him too, lugging my fat ass around. We're going to keep doing this at least once a week - FUN stuff.

maidenfan Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 08/12/07 Went and wrestled on the mats for about an hour (~20mins or so of actual wrestling).

maidenfan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 08/13/07 Squats - 135x5, 225x5, 315x1x20sets (1min rest between sets) BB Lunges - 95x5, 95x5 40min walk The squat workout felt great - worked up a good sweat. Gonna take some time off the upper body workouts as my shoulders and elbow joints are still sore - probably from the wrestling, who knows. I need to focus on my legs anyhow.

Kurt Lane Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Wrestling is such a physically demanding sport lol The bigger and stronger you get to makes it even harder. I swear Jiu Jitsu/Wrestling has made me puke more then squats by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Have to agree with you Kurt. My problem is I'm wrestling semi-skilled guys who weigh a lot less than me. I'm relying on my brute strength to keep from getting submitted, which gasses me fast - being fat and out of shape doesnt help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
