mobsterone Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 So first time out, as per the other thread I am hooked. I wont bother with the feel it out am session but this afternoon I did W/Roller work with (I have a 3" FB W/R set at about 4 feet from the ground): 20 kilos / 44lbs x 3 x 1 (each rep is one up and 1 down), 30 kilos / 66lbs x 3 x 1 35 kilos / 77lbs x 3 x 1. My immediate target is 45 kilos / 100 lbs x 3 x 1. I do get some strange clicking in my thumbs on lowering the weight but, thus far, no pain. I also get the feeling of a nice pump and may, when it doesn't affect other training, drop some weight and go for pump. 5 Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ

smp76 Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Mobsterone, What are you overall goals for doing thick wrist rollers? I have a 2,3/8" wrist roller that I made and I use it in the technique that places the roller stationary (with a bar through the center) at eye level for me just under 6'. I roll all the way up and then down continuing the same direction to raise the weight again. (did that make sense? Anyway I havew only done this a few times as I am doing KTA right now. The weight is only 25lbs and I do 4 reps. I look forward to reading your log and look for tips in this from the "thick bar daddy". -SMP Quote People sleep peacably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. -George Orwell Real Name: Sean Prince

mossman Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 great work so far mob...you are the man, especially those thick DB lifts....have you lifted the millenium bell yet? you certainly look like you give it a good ride Quote #3 closure- Feb. 23th, 2005 (choker 1 1/2'' set) (ON DEADLIFTING) I WANT TO HAVE AN ASS CRACK THAT RUNS CLEAR UP TO THE TOP OF MY NECK - BEATTY I'M NOT ON STERIODS, YOU'RE JUST WEAK - MIKE H
mobsterone Posted October 12, 2004 Author Posted October 12, 2004 Years ago. I have, for example lifted 130+ kilos on my RT handle in the past anmd am working my way back up. Same with the thick handled dumbbell - I have gone as high as 300.1 lbs. http://www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album57/aaa?full=1 Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ
The Mac Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 On a 3"? No. On a 2 and 2/3ths there are photos in the gallery (old version).http://www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album53?page=2 Yeah, those are pretty impressive pics aren't they? I didn't know if you had gotten some of Bigger's numbers on the 3" to shoot for (from Tom Iowa?) - for all you know, you might be kicking his 3" ass already! (Unlikely, true... ) Quote Chris McCarthy
mobsterone Posted October 12, 2004 Author Posted October 12, 2004 On the smaller roller he (Josh) has, according to Tom, done some mental numbers. Even if Tom was jerking my chain and the most he had done was what we can see in those pics I still have 200+ to go. However, it WILL BE DONE! I love this stuff. As per the bio in the GGC pack: I admire only those that are better than me. They make me better than I am right now.

mobsterone Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 Not so great tonight. But anyway... Thick handled dumbbell 55 kilos a side (250lbs total) x 3 x 1 (it was more like 6 attempts and three successes. I got the arse and that made me pull better). Rolling Thunder to 100 kilos x 3 x 1 left hand (no problem) to 108.75 x a bunch of attempts right hand (for shit results) 3" Wrist Roller max weight was 41.25 kilos x 3 x 1 (no probs - still hard but successful and yes still a good pump).

mobsterone Posted October 16, 2004 Author Posted October 16, 2004 Quick nice story before my Saturday workout: I haven't done hardly any bar bending for weeks - not since the GGC/US comp (cheers Mick). Anyway I need some more steel stock and the cheapest to play with is the old 6-inch nails. So I have some errands and pop into Sydenhams local diy store run by a couple of Asian brothers. One's downstairs getting a new box up and the other says 'so what you making?' ha ha I tells him I bend them and as he looks a little perplexed explain about the competitions. Two minutes later there I am with two cloths bending nails in front of the customers, I then bends a bolt and he throws me in a couple of toughies for free!! 1 Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ
maidenfan Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Ever use IM's 2" knurled roller? Just curious how the lb's compare to your 3" smooth roller. Quote Morgan Guthner Fairfax, VA Goals - be a better arm wrestler

FrankyBoy Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 You are steadily making progress. Very impressive, Steve. You're already very to close to the magic 250lbs (113.5kg) limit. Keep the good work! 1 Quote
mobsterone Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 I need to get to about 15-20 lbs over the record using my old handle to be in with a chance. I'm also getting a benders bag at the end of the month - ready for my assualt on an IM red. Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ
mobsterone Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 In fact like the GGC I don't include the handle weight and so am over the 250 lbs mark already. Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ
