mobsterone Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thursday - pm Coached Naz, Seb and Jacek and worked the Rolling Thunder hard (see note). Rolling Thunder using older handle As per weight is load only. I'm using my older handle as I think it compares the most like the latest version IM have for sale. I know Mark pulled 301lbs on the previous model (and this is quoted as the record on their site) but has pulled 271lbs on the newer one. I (as per YT video) pulled 276lbs on a new one Sam Solomi brought for me to try. No one pulled more than 260 at the most recent event (Vice Grip Viking Challenge at the FitExpo in LA). B/H: 60-kilos a hand x 6 reps @, 80-kilos a hand x 3 reps @, 100-kilos x 1-2 x 1 rep @ (inc one for publicity photo). L/H: tried 115-kilos, dropped to 110-kilos x 2 x 1 reps, 112.5-kilos (easy) x 1 rep, 113.75-kilos x 1 rep, 115-kilos (solid) x 1 rep and 116.25-kilos x fail R/H: 122.5-kilos x 4 (may have been 5) x 1 reps. 1 or 2 more singles more than last time. I'm working this hard 1-2 times a week (I need to watch I do not start stalling as I get to peak strength on this as has happened before) as I am promoting (with a LOT of help from Dennie Felix) and competing in a competition to be held at the NEC/ Bodypower. Supported by Bodypower (I'll be on their site later) and with Ironmind sponsorship. Last year some 25,000 people came through the main doors over the weekend and the strength arena had crowds of at least 1000 most of the day. The event will be open to all (with a limit on numbers of course) and 'joes' have to pull a qualifying poundage. Then they go up against WSM competitors including Mark Felix, Terry Hollands and more. I aim to to VERY well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJames Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Go for it Steve !! I'm sure if you focus on it you'll lift the most. Try not to do too much on the day. I know people will be asking you to pick up that and crush this, give yourself a chance and show them what your really capable of. Best of luck big fella.

I'm working with Ultimate Grip (sellers of HG grippers in the UK) the day before (and after the RT event) and so aim to (1) pace myself with roughly every 90-minute 'shows' on the Saturday up to and around an HG300 or HG350. (2) make sure I explain I have no problem warming up with light weights but as I wish to compete on the Sunday I'll stick with that until it's ass kicking time.

mobsterone Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thursday Coached Seb and Jacek. During the workout I demonstrated some movements. Baring in mind I hadn't trained, had not taken a coffee before etc... I did a slow rep or two with 150-kilos using the v-handle on LPD, pulled 70kilos cold on the 2HP more than once and so on. Friday T/Grippers Worked to an extra rep or two with the HG as planned. Then, as per how I felt on them last time, took the r/h to a 4 attempt or two.. B/H: usual L/H: Seemed to have no probs at all warming up. If anything it felt better than the right hand but struggled to get my groove on the 3. However, once I did was ok. So: CoC 3 x TnG, TnG, 1 (solid), 1. HG350(new) x N, HG350(old) x VN, VN, N. Dropped down to the 3 again so I did the same volume as my right; CoC 3 x 1 and 1 over crush rep R/H: HG350(new) x 4 x 1 reps, HG350(old) x 3 x 1 reps (2 were easy). CoC 3.5 x 3 x 1 solid reps. CoC 4 x N (about 1/4-inch). 2HP worked to 108-kilos x TnG, TnG, 1, 1, 1 (best rep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
