mobsterone Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Sunday Shite session. All I can think of is the handful of beers and junk food I have on Saturday night does me no favours at all Sunday morning. I really struggled through this session today. THP re set equipment with two small 1-kilo discs inside the collars to stop the looseness of the set up occuring. Dunno if this affected my lifting. 25-kilos x 6 n/s reps, 65-kilos x 1 rep, 70-kilos x 1 rep, 75-kilos x 1 rep, 80-kilos x 1 rep, 85-kilos x a few attempts R/Thunder (n/h) B/H: 60-kilos x 3 reps alternating L/H: 70-kilos x 3 x 1 reps (quite a quick pace), 78.75-kilos x 4 x 1 reps (hard) R/H: 86.25-kilos x 6 x 1 reps inc the middle three pratically back-to-back.

mobsterone Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wednesday I'm getting really pissed off with how long it is taking my right hand to warm up. Literally within a rep or two it can ache and it then takes an age to get to the working weight. By the same token my left hand just gets right on with it. Perfect set on the bar and so on. Anyway V-Bar B/H: 60-kilos x 1 rep, 80-kilos x 1 rep, 100-kilos x 1 rep, 120-kilos x 1 rep (barely with the right hand). Small 5lb 1" plate on the bottom plus bar weight to be added to all numbers L/H: worked to 137.5-kilos with hand down bar and an addition 10lbs plate added. Total about 148-kilos. For 3 x 1 reps R/H: 110-130-kilos in 5-kilos at a jumps - all singles then finally 132.5-kilos x 3 x 1. Total weight about 138.4-kilos 2HP @ 70mm No real problems just straight forward step-ups in weight and all target weights and reps hit dead on. 43.6-kilos x 1 rep (changed from the usual x 6), 63.6-kilos x 1 rep, 68.6-kilos x 1 rep, 73.6-kilos x 1 rep, 78.6-kilos x 1 rep, 83.6-kilos x 1 rep then added 2.5-kilos for 86.10-kilos x 5 x 1 reps (just missed a 6th attempt). Bwt down 2lbs - will keep an eye on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Laine's not coming (again) but check his numbers: Hello Steve, I cannot make it on Saturday, my business is really busy and I have alot of work to do before I fly to the States. Hopefully Randall will wave made the final arrangements for a Rolling Thunder contest in Las Vegas in early October, I think Odd Haugen, Mark Phillippi, Phil Pfister and the Gillinghams are being invited so it should be a good contest if it all works out. I am hoping to get 290+ on the Rolling Thunder this time out, my training is going well, I have hit 235lbs for 14 continious reps and 12 continious reps with 246lbs, which is a good improvement on my previous bests with these weights. I have changed my stance to a more sumo style and I no longer wear footwear for my heavy attempts, although I still train in my old style for the lifts I mentioned above to give me a true reflection of any increase in strength. I hope to come down on my return from the States which will be at the end of October. Best wishes, Laine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Sunday am Nice session. Nick McKinless came over yesterday to see our unit gym and today we looked at Severnside (once we bloody found it) and Gymnation. Severnside was an eye opener for Nick as it is inside a church and the church is in this nature reserve - very idyllic. Anyway once we had done the guided tour we came back to Hopewell Street and as I expected I lifted my game up a notch. 2HP @ 54mm 25-kilos x 6 reps, 65-kilos x 3 reps, 70, 75, 80 and 85-kilos all x 1 rep. Then 89-kilos (approx) x 6 x 1 nice solid reps. R/Thunder (n/h) 60-kilos x 3 reps @ hand L/H: 77.5-kilos x a total of 7 reps (some 1, some doubles) R/H: 86.25-kilos x 6 reps (as above) Nick had a go on our IFSA log and also on the 3" w/roller.

Nick McKinless Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yeah thanks for the tour and the training Steve, really great facility. I think I'm still a bit jet lagged even though I feel fine. It's only been 40 hours! Still it's always nice to get rid of the cobwebs...

Geo Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Sorry to of missed it Mobster. Just one of those things. Sounds like you had a good time and it would of been good to of met Nick. Severnside is a proper spit and sawdust gym thats for sure. I did train there but I train over at Bodysports Gym now, in Cheltenham - Its closer to home and has a good group of powerlifters training there.

lifesnotfair Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I love this pic. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...si&img=3415 And I have to wonder, are you that strong on grippers nowdays? stronger? a tad weaker? It's obvious from your workouts that you focus on many other things, even more than grippers themselves, I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hard to say as I have been better on my own grippers but my best work is always done on the lifting platform and in competition. I have other stuff I do - for example I did 3 x 1 with 90-kilos / 198lbs on the 2 hand pinch (euro set up) and am focusing on getting to 100. I also LOVE the wrist roller at the mo. Saturday Trained today so early Sunday session can be f**ked off :P 2HP 25-kilos x 6 reps, 65-kilos x 3 reps, then 70, 75, 80, 85-kilos x 1 rep. Tried 90 and couldn't do it (Nick had gone to shop). Did a hard 87.5-kilos and then, when Nick came back, did 90 x 3 x 1 rep (last one was iffy). I need to get a cardboard cut-out of Nick R/T (n/h and then o/h) 60-kilos x 3 x 1 reps each hand L/H: 77.5-kilos x 6 x 1 reps, then old hand to 115-kilos x 1 rep R/H: 87.5-kilos x 6 x 1 reps, then old handle to 130-kilos x 2 x 1 reps (just) Stones for fun 110-kilo onto platform (now higher than before) and tried the 140-kilo and lapped it but could get it to go from there to platform. We had a big crew down including Mike, TT, H, Tat70, Oscar and Nick plus myself. I'll put up some photos later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 R/T (n/h and then o/h)60-kilos x 3 x 1 reps each hand L/H: 77.5-kilos x 6 x 1 reps, then old hand to 115-kilos x 1 rep R/H: 87.5-kilos x 6 x 1 reps, then old handle to 130-kilos x 2 x 1 reps (just) Even on an old handle, sickness!!!

mobsterone Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) A couple of things made it good. One was the slow but sure work I've been doing on the new handle. 110 l;eft and 120 right felt easy. Indeed I did 115-kilos right handed with a thumbless grip. Secondly, although there was no fanfair on my part (look at me etc) I had a strong group of lads around me and I seem to do better when being watched. Finally, as per the 2HP, although it's a purely mental thing I need - N-E-E-D - to do well in frontg of my peers ie: Nick. Dunno why it is that way but this is helpful when on the competition stage. PS: those numbers on the RT (new or old handle) are the plates only and do and not include the pin, handle or carabina as usual. So 130-kilos was 294 lbs or 133.6-kilos.

mobsterone Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Sunday I can feel the effects of Saturdays work for sure waking today and stretching and think 'yeah that's nicely stiff' ha ha But did some gripper work this am just the same Grippers L/H: to RB240ip x 5 assisted closes R/H: to BBSE as above I deliberately didn't go all out on these As for 300 on an old and stiff RT handle - for sure. When I am back to doing 90-100-kilos right handed on the more freely spinning handle I'll be capable of 300lbs on an old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
