deaner Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 7/23 Grippers: SM 6x1 blockweights: 35x1 5 sec. hold 35# hex +5.5# 5x 5 sec. holds Grippers felt strong, all good solid closes, ready to try some #3 closes with the hose clamp probably next week. Been eating a bit less and trying to work in a bit of excercise to slim down a bit, haven't had any beer in a couple weeks. Tried yoga on thursday, yes I'm a puss, but the only guy in a room full of good looking ladies ain't no fool. Thats a tough workout, liked it a lot. Will try to add a bit more cardio but don't really know what I want to do, maybe just mix it up. Gotta get on a scale, was 260 a month or so ago, feeling about 259.5 right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chicks are a nice bonus! Flexibility is a hugely valuable thing, and yoga's inherently calming too. I always feel like endorphins are getting released when I do some solid stretching. Grats on the staying away from the beer. Seriously, when I drink a beer, it's like I swallowed the can whole and it pops up under my bellybutton, and a six-pack is like I'm wearing a grenade belt under my skin. Beer seems to have some extra magical calories a vengeful god put in there, or something. I've been staying away from them for a while and been losing some flab because of it. And damn, I like it.

pdoire Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Congrats on the #3 close..even in a choker that is awesome!! Is that your first time touching the handles?...feels great doesn't it!!

deaner Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 No, not my first, i did it a while back, don't remember how many times, but never beyond parallel without a choker. I was just a hair away with parallel set/ no choker, thats after I went through most of the KTA program. Grippers had dropped off since then and I've been trying to recover, I really like my new training program, not that its a rigid program of any kind. I think the blockweights, with thumb clamp work and moderate amounts of singles, will get me there soon enough. Will just slowly keep adding volume.

deaner Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Just did 3 sets of 100 skips with my new weighted (.5 pound) jump rope. Kitchen cardio! Will start slow, maybe shoot for some 2 minute sets, maybe daily or everyother day at least. Shoulda gotten a longer one, this ones 9 feet, 10 woulda been nice.

deaner Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 8/5 #3 attempts in choker 2/3 right 0/3 left should have been 3/3 right didn't feel like I had it in my hand right SM closes 3/3, 2/3 35# hex alternating deadlifts til failure 21 total, 11 right, 10 left I like these a bunch! Wonder what doing 100 would feel like? Big T-- thanks for the comments, I am really enjoying this effective and laid back training approach, I think with a little help from good old KTA I could have the #3 without choker much faster but I like this and I mostly grip for enjoyment, and I don't enjoy that KTA madness much.

deaner Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 8/6 Throwing Worked 56 WFD, Braemar , WFH, 28 WFD Got that thumb lock down, 28 WFD went great Would be happy with PRs in 28 WFD, and light hammer, maybe even 56 WFD next week. And if I'm lucky a huge tornado will move in right before the caber, or better yet I will actually turn one. Hopefully they use light cabers in Washington.. Abandoned my stone, I was angry with it, will have to go back and get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaner Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) 8/7 Grippers: Super master singles in choker x20, got 19 with left hand 35# hex alternating deadlifts 26 total reps PR! Even though I just started doing these I'm still happy with the PR cuz I fought for the last 5 or 6. 50 reps by end of the year?? Anyone reading this should try this exercise at least once, great finisher, humor me.. Be kinda cool to have a little friendly competition with someone of similar strength.

deaner Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 8/8 RT 100x1, 120x1, 130 5x1 Sadly I still really suck at this. Thinking real hard about it's removal from my training. Simplify it, grippers and blockweights will be my focus. I can't understand why I'm not improving on this lift, felt strong today, the handle even felt a bit slimmer, struggled to get a single with 135, I think that was my original max when I got the handle for x-mas. Probably will see it on the trading forum soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
