mobsterone Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wednesday Man the frigging pain again! It seems, from a process of elimination that if I strain (as per when working out) with my arm at a right angle (curls, pulldowns and grippers) that I start to get an annoying ache etc. By the end I was unable to squeeze down as hard as I wanted to because it was so damned painful. I took some painkillers and had another coffee and by the end of the pinch on the euro it had started to ease off. Vulcan Gripper B/H: L1 x 6 reps @, L7 x 3 reps @ L/H: L12 x 1 rep, L14 x 0, 1, 1, VVVN, 1, VN, L13 x 1 rep R/H: L16 x 1 rep, L18 x x VVN, 1, VVN, VN, pain, pain, L17 x pain. 2HP euro: equ x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos x 3 reps, plus 50-kilos x 1 rep, plus 60-kilos x 1 rep, plus 75-kilos x 1 rep, plus 80-kilos (102 approx) x 1 rep, plus 82.5-kilos x 0 reps (did not budge), back to plus 80-kilos x 3 x 1 reps (small square tissue on left thumb teeny tiny skin tear).

mobsterone Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wednesday PM At Whey Gym I was gonna do this session tomorrow but I'm expecting several deliveries. I also took the pain killers beforehand although I'm aching a little now. CG Bench 60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 165-kilos (166.7-kilos or 367lbs* as per note) x 4 x 1 reps *I only noticed after a while I was using the thicker heavier bar so add 1.7-kilos to all weights. Providing I took my time I got all the reps. Next time I want 167.5-kilos x 4-6 x 1 reps. Super setted with LPD 80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 6 reps, 147.5-kilos x 3 x 6 reps Bwt 281.5lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Friday @ Whey Gym Leg Ext 80-kilos x 8 reps, 125-kilos x 8 reps, 195-kilos (stack plus 50kg) x 8 reps Leg Curl 25-kilos x 8 reps, 40-kilos x 8 reps, 55-kilos x 6 reps (H) Leg Press 0-kilos x 10 reps @, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 240-kilos x 8 reps, 420-kilos x 8 reps (belts on wraps off), 700-kilos (all the machine will hold) x 0 with the 3 pads, dropped to no pads and did 8 reps (but very shallow) so did with 1 pad and did another 8 reps. 2 pads, if we have them, is probably about right.

mobsterone Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Friday pm @ Whey Gym Damned right arm aching again once the hard work started. I bit the bullet to do what I needed to do but now, as I type this, it hurts. I also took 2 painkillers BEFORE leaving and it's still annoying me. Torsion grippers usual warm ups L/H: to BBE x VN, VN, VN (all about 2-3mm), VVN, VVN, VN, VVN, HG350 x 1 rep for fun. On paper this should be harder tension wise but I can close it due to the thicker handles shortening the close required. R/H: to 3.5 x 1 rep, SE x 1 rep, Paul's easy 4 x 1 rep. 4.01 rated 4 x VVN, VN, VVN, VVN, VVN , VVN Most were 1-2mm off at best. Just damned annoying I'm not getting it as well as a few weeks ago. That said, upon checking, I only did Vulcan work 2 nights ago. Another day and it might have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Saturday Thick pinch 70mm using 2 x 15-kilo discs 30-kilos and pin x 6 reps, 50+ x 3 rep, 70+ x 1 rep 67mm 90-kilo disc x 1 rep, plus pin (4.10 so 94.1) x 1 rep, plus 2.5 (96.6) x 1 rep, plus 2.5-kilos (99.1) x 1 rep, plus 1.25 (100.35) x 0, 1, 0, 0, Dropped back to disc only x 3, x 3 (2 x 3). Then did 2 x 1 with 3 fingers a hand (see photo): http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/931/90kil...erseachhny5.jpg I also tried Paul's 4 x 10-kilo discs (scaled at 41) and got right hand plus finger and thumb of the left hand for 2-3 x 1 reps. I then tried 2 x 7.5 with a bar through but my hand was fried and the edges are sharp!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Sunday @ Gymnation CG Bench I could have done another heavy single rep but stopped because of the now usual discomfort. The form on the second single almost collapsed but pure brute strength saw me complete the rep. The third was more or less right arm locks (where the pain is) then the left. A watching Louis started laughing at the style. 60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos (very easy) x 1 rep, 167.5-kilos x 3 x 1 (see notes) reps. The strength is there but I'll see if I can squeeze another rest day in (so 2 before pressing and then 2 more before bench) to see if that helps. supersetted with Pullover machine work 12p x 8 reps, 18p x 8 reps, stack plus 20-kilos x 2 x 8 reps.

mobsterone Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Monday pm In lieu of, hopefully, Sam coming over Thursday (I'll get Paul to do the filming) for the MM2 attempts here's the last gripper session before. Vulcan Gripper The bloody right arm ache prevented me going all out and doing more reps with the right arm but the left has gone up a notch, pun not intended, on the Vulcan as well as the torsion grippers (see previous entries). It only happens when I tense super hard and is, as before, in the lower part of the bicep and the anterior deltoid. B/H: L1 x 6 reps, L7 x 3 rep L/H: L12 x 1 rep, L14 x 4 x 1 reps, L16 (accident) x VN, L15 x 1mm, 1 (PB), 1mm, 2mm R.H: L16 x 1 rep, L18 x 1, 1, VVN, VVN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Wednesday Which I thought was Thursday... and I was getting little aches and pains during the night. My right shoulder, right on the tip of the bone, feels sore (like before I used Glucosomine) and I was getting the feeling which precedes the ache in my right upper arm. Yet training etc was all good. Perhaps the 3 painkillers helped. CG Bench 60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 170-kilos x 4 x 1 reps (see photo) supersetted with LPD 80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 150-kilos (stack + 10) x 3 x 6 reps MM2 attempts Video submitted (or will be in a few minutes as its currently being processed by the PC).

mobsterone Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thursday pm Baring in mind this mornings attempts are below where I would normally go to and wanting to still do well on the Vulcan in 3 or so weeks I went back.
