Mobster's Wrist Roller Work


mobsterone

Recommended Posts

Tuesday
Up before the sunrise (4am or so). First workout done between 8am and 8.30am.

One hand pinch
Because we're that close to the event and whatever they lift, so to speak, doesn't matter (you pull more than I do you win - it's that simple) and no amount of work in the next few days changes me, you or anyone else etc I'm putting up the numbers. Indeed as I have been since last week. So..

Both hands get warmed up with:
22.7-kilos set up x 8 reps @, 27.7-kilos x 3 reps @ and finally 32.7-kilos x 3 reps @
Then -
L/H: 33.7-kilos x 3 reps - was easy so upped it again to 34.7-kilos x 3 x 3 reps
R/H: 33.7-kilos x 3 reps, 42.2-kilos x 3 x 3 reps.

That's very nice of you. I hope it's proved true this weekend.

No probs, and it is very much true. You have been killing big grippers, and still do.  I remember crazy ass wide set Ghp8 cert for reps, which I have not seen done that easy by others, except for maybe one or two guys. Closing a #4, closing a MM7 dude very solid. All things that seem to have been lost in the big crowd now. Then sick pinch still. And the list continues. One of the first guys I saw doing grip who started to make me interested in grip and still going strong. And as I see on the FB, a big guy with also a pretty big heart, with all the little cat and animal stuff :D So just keep on doing what you do.

Penny pinches
L/H:4 x 3 reps x 11.25-kios added to the pin (about 12.4kg total)
R/H:4 x 3 reps x 13.75-kilos (15.90 approx)

The last couple of sets I reset my index finger and thumb as the 95 year old penny bites into the skin. I also noticed I was pulling higher on the last couple of sets which increases the time under tension (TUT)
