mobsterone Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Friday Back LPD to 140-kilos x 8 reps. Not as good as I have done or would like. Need to bring this back up. Chins 3+1+1 at 120+kg bwt Low Cable Rows worked to 130-kilos x 8 reps Saturday Due to work 2HP was distracted by coaching and Griptopz brought down by Nick McKinless. On one item, 'rim lift' I asked what was the best he#'d heard of anyone doing and was told '107-kilos' (by Loz Shahlaei and David Horne) so worked to a videoed 107.5-kilos. I felt I had 1-2 kilos spare. Pinch after that was a bomb hence Monday. Sunday Rest Monday 2HP worked to +87-kilos (109+) x 5 x 1 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Tuesday PM: RT work Off due to grippers in the am Wednesday Legs Leg Press to 684-kilos x 6 reps - heavy but could have managed another rep (esp as last time was 6). Leg Ext to 170-kilos x 7 reps Leg Curls 45-kilos x 8, 6 and 8 reps Thursday Worked with Carl from Wales who paid me for 2 hours+ of my time doing one-to-one grip work, tricks, techniques and advice. Also, as it was part of his workout, trained grippers at the same time. His aim was to work towards a HG250 close. 20 mins after arriving he'd managed it once (just setting tips) and before the time was up had it is 2 more times of about 6 attempts. All three of the non-successful ones were close and closer than he'd usually get. He left happy. T/Grippers L/H: CoC 3 x 8 x 2 reps R/H: HG350(N) x 7 x 1 reps, HG350(O) x 7 x 1 reps, CoC 3.5 x 5 x 1 reps Lots coming over later so rest and eat now....

Great to read how you helped someone close their goal gripper n read the singles on your 3.5...I don't own one, is it a few steps below #4?

Terrygrip Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Baring in mind I used my hands all day I averaged 54kg Thats above average, and as you said your hands were being used all day. Thats a good score, was it a awkward grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Saturday 2HP. I may need to sort out a new nut buster style collar. Worked to 109 x 5 x 1 reps. Wanted more but it wasn't there. Skin sore too. Sunday @GN. V/Bench to 85-kilos a side but r/shoulder far too sore to do more. I spent the rest of the session doing rotator cuff work. Monday I took a call from a mate who lives down Essex way and I may be asked to be involved in this - http://www.gunslinga.co.uk/articles/valhalla_festival. It's in July. As with Excel (5000+ over the 2 days) and Bodypower (20,000+ over 2 days) it's a lot of people (10,000 expected) with good media and local community interaction. If I am, as before, I'm hoping for expenses, more of my name out there and a chance to spread the 'grip word'. am: coach Naz and Jacek T/Grippers L/H: to CoC 3 x 8 x 2 reps R/H: HG350 (n) x 7 x 1 reps, HG350 (o) x 4 x 1 and 2 reps (easy), then CoC 3.5 x an easy rep. Tried my hardish 4 and got it to 3/4-inch (felt like a brick), dropped to BBSE 2 x 1 reps. Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thursday Started out with the same lethargy as before. Come time to hit the gym and I was a little better but on arriving and warming up I was as close to puking as I have ever been in the gym. Yet... a very good session ensued. My shoulder still holds me back on pressing but I did ok, curls were great and press-downs very close to being one of the better sessions I have had. Nev did shoulders and arms a few sets behind me. Blitzed his delts too. Seated Press BB Bar x 8+ (nearly puked), 50-kilos x 8 reps, 80-kilos x 6 reps, 90-kilos x 3 reps, 50-kilos x 8 reps (pump) DB H Curls 10+ kilos x 8 reps @, 20+ kilos x 8 reps, 30+ kilos x 8 reps, 40+ kilos x 8 loose reps (1 arm at a time, holding a lighter bell in the other hand for balance). Scaled last bell at 43.8kg/96.5lbs TPD 50-kilos x 8 reps, 70-kilos x 8 reps, 85-kilos x 8 reps, 90-kilos x 6 reps Also coached Seb, Steve+Craig, Jacek and Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 If you "loosely" curled 95.6 for 8 reps I bet you must be quite close to a strict rep with a 100 pounder. If you can do it in strict fashion that is most definitely worthy of a video Mobster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashtan Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 mobsterone sizes of your hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Same size as they were when I was last asked (a matter of record so somewhere on this site). I work with what I have and so should everyone else. Thursday Boiler only half fixed (so still not working) Grrr. Around 7am this morning I heard what I thought was rubble being poured into a skip. Turns out it was a lorry crashing into a shop front 2 streets away! I know they have lodgings above but as far as I know no one was hurt. Wow! 2HP Bombed and died a horrible death so called it quits.

Terrygrip Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Whats up with the boiler mate? Who is this Nathan your training with???? is it Nathan Holle?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Boilers been faulty and or not working (combos thereof) for months. The Nathan is NOT Holle. He's mentioned elsewhere in my log. He's a wheelchair athlete who plays for the local basketball team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrygrip Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Bloody boilers, my wifes brothers is a plumber, so i'm lucky in that sense. Is he training his grip also? i've often wondered if it pays to have a strong grip in basketball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thursday pm Trained with Nev Double overhand thick bar deadlifts worked to 2 x 1 with 180-kilos but lacked oomph. 2HP - thick 87kg plate x 6, 8, 7 reps Friday Leg Press Worked to 694-kilos but this was too much too soon.

lifesnotfair Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 mobster you should have told that guy who asked about your handsize a proper answer, he wouldn't have thought your lifts were less impressive after finding out they're like 12" :tongue mobster, have you seen Sam Solomi and/or Paul Savage recently? Are they still training grip? Sorry to ask you but I recall they training you with several times and they haven't posted here for ages (or I've missed it).
