mobsterone Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 So just keep on doing what you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
