deaner Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Great Log Deaner Keep it up, you'll find great inspiration reading from it a year from now!!! While you are waiting for more plates you can take a page out of Clay's training ideas and try some plate pinching with less fingers. I noticed you mentioned jumping on the wagon -hope that is going well for you!!! Jon@han ← Yeah wanted to get on the wagon to trim down a bit, but.. Maybe there are easier ways to trim down, I just love beer, not in great quantities but not exactly the light stuff either. I don't know why I didnt think of pinching with less fingers. I think I will go buy a 10 tommorow or monday so I can give it a shot. I've been looking through your log as well, very interesting stuff. I really wish I had more space to train at home, and I can't see bringing a thickbar to the gym, was thinking maybe a thick chin bar mounted in our spare bedroom.

bencrush Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 How thick is your thickbar Deaner? Do you have the Apollon's Axle or a homemade version that's thicker? I have the AA and I'm (hopefully) going to get the Turk soon. Great stuff. I think I will hit the thickbar again once in a while. You've inspired me.

It's 2.5" I think. I love thickbar, and it doesn't hurt my right hand that doesn't want to heal. Only thing that hurts is grippers, I'm starting to wonder if it will ever heal. Be interesting to see where I'm at with my right hand when it does though, its a good experiment, seeing if only thickbar and pinch will help or at least maintain my gripper strength.

deaner Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Congrats on quiting the tobacco, I know how hard that is. ← Thanks, a little encouragement sure helps. If people only understood how hard it would be to quit, they wouldnt start but it's hard to understand until your battling it. I do feel real good at this point.
