Geo Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Another nice one - for the Euro pinch boys among you - Geo knows the truth of the statement title:http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h195/dun.../bloodsweat.jpg Ha! yes I was doing a variation of your pinch method this morning. The web inbetween my thumb and index finger is pretty raw! Dutch - Mobsters gym is fitted with state of the art air conditioning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimwylie1 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Mobster Do you have a new pinching technique? What's the crack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimwylie1 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Am I right in thinking that it involves bleeding all over the apparatus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Haha! literally no, figuratively yes, although it might depend on how freaky one would like to go with the apparatus. Edited December 18, 2006 by DuTCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 AA weight on the pics? eh? Am I right in thinking that it involves bleeding all over the apparatus? No. That's reserved for hook gripping on v-bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 AA weight on the pics? eh? Mob i think Dutch wants to know the weight of the thick bar (apollon's axle or AA) in those pics??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Strange as it might seem because I like training solo and in the mornings I train at another gym nearby (they let me train for free - due to the community work / gigs I did). I haven't had a proper workout for about 6 or more weeks at my own place. Once the one hand lift bar arrives I'll start using my own place again. Plus I need to re-educate myself back onto the Euro pinch apparatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't do any proper pinching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thursday night training With the weekend away etc etc coming up I'm doing some back to back stuff today, tomorrow and possibly Saturday if time allows so as to make up for missing days while away. So... 2HP @ 49mm using Euro set up - couldn't be bothered to adjust thickness equ (24-kilos) x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos (54-kilos) x 3 reps, plus more weight to total 81-kilos which was planned set weight (81.10) for 70mm set up) x 20 x 1 reps One hand deadlift B/H: 60-kilos (total weight) x 3 reps, 80-kilos x 3 reps L/H: 110-kilos x 3 x 1 reps - only it wasn't. I lifted it three times and all three times one end was very low. Then I realised I had misloaded one end with 5-kilos too much (so 115-kilos). I dropped the weight and banged out 3 non-stop reps with 110-kilos. R/H: 122.5-kilos x 3 n/s reps, plus another 3 n/s reps (great session) and then 1 more rep held easily for time.

mobsterone Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 The edge was taken off this mornings workout - hardly suprising given I've done 3 workouts in 2 days as opposed to 5 days as I now do. I also nearly earned a few quid on the side doing a exhbition as entertainment at a Christmas 'do' at the local drug dependency unit. The person that was meant come hadn't turned up and I was asked to help out. I carried on training while stuff was sorted out but the other bod arrived - late- but in one piece. Traffic out and about was thick so no wonder. Friday am Grippers - volume L/H: HG300 x 8 x 1 reps, RB 240ip x 8 x 1 reps R/H: BBE x 16 x 1 reps(held back due to TTWC to follow and hands still fried) TTWC I wasn't able to use rack set up I have been using and was having to fart about getting bar onto knees etc. 60-kilos x 10 bouncing style reps, 80-kilos x 10 reps (as before), 90-kilos x 6-8 reps, 100-kilos x shit and 95-kilos x shit.

layla Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 dont know what a 2hp is,but I do know when I see heavy weights listed, strong work! I definetly know what a one hand dead is and again your not playing with "toy"weights.

mobsterone Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 I think he was a folk singer - either of us are mere entertainment rather than another grip guy. Plus, as you'll have seen, I was at the gym and continued working out whike the other guy turned up at the other location (about a mile away). 2HP = 2 hand pinch. what did you think of this other guy? coulda ya have been his ego killer?
