mobsterone Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Friday pm Rotator cuff work V light band work Torsion Grippers Could have been better. I need (he he a pun is coming) to keep my hand in even though I am now focusing on Vulcan work for the Peter Horne day and the British. The other work is for MM certs. I may try 2 VG sessions to every 1 TG session and see how I get on. L/H: BBGM x 2 x 1 reps (too easy now), CoC 3 x VVN , 1, BBE x VVN, piss poor, VVN, N, dropped down to the CoC 3 and did 3 reps. Annoying and strange. R/H: CoC 3 x 1 rep, BBE x 1 rep, HG350 x 1 rep, BBSE x 1 rep, CoC 3.5 x 1 rep, 'E' 4 x VVN, 1, 1 reps, 4.01 rated 4 x VN, VN.

lifesnotfair Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=3415 It sure took you long to overcome that tiny little gap shown in the pic I've been reading your log for at least 2 years now, and it seems gripper gains come slow for you, compared to bench and 2HP at least. Although lately you seem better with the 4.01 rated #4 you sometimes close. Why do you think this is, the smaller grippers progress? Focusing on well-roundedness?

mobsterone Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yep. One of the 'Horne' tips. Records and feats are nice but being a champ is better. Hence bringing up ALL lifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Friday Chest/back Pec dec Giving me shape but of course no real strength per se.

mobsterone Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Monday Apparently the weather prevents some people getting about. Here in Gloucester it has snowed but nothing like what I am seeing on TV. Anyway, I gave the old one hand lift a go over doing one hand deadlifts (for the up-coming British). As can be seen I could have done with something thicker to stand on to make me get my hips down low. The balance, naturally, is a darn site easier than a Olympic bar which is my reason for doing it as a means of building the power without the damage a hook grip gives ya. It still made the skin sore but no tears. One hand lifts I'll alternate this and one hand deadlifts. I'll also use our 4-inch and 6-inch wooden blocks as mentioned above for proper depth. NB: for whatever reason had some nice local protein sales this weekend. Sweet. Edited February 2, 2009 by mobsterone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Monday pm Note to self, talking post training is ok. Chewing Si's ear off... for hours is not! I can't believe the time having just got back. Nice but much later than I thought. Plate Wrist Curl Weights quoted are plates only and do not include set up weight as well. Formulator reverse wrist curl NB: not super setted this time unlike last two times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Monday So-so training day. Popped into the Health Trainer office for a chat then worked out (orders all packed yesterday).

mobsterone Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Monday pm One hand pinch Using 2 x 15-kilo Alex plates at about 50mm total thickness and with an eye on the US event I might take part in I did the following: 30-kilos (plates only) from floor to block and back 3 reps @ hand. 30-kilos and medium weight pin + 5-kilo disc x 2 reps (negs/two hands up one hand down). This was a little too much too soon so. L/H: 30-kilos + pin x 3, x 3 and then 3 half off the floor attempts R/H: 30-kilos + pin + 2.5-kilos x 3 x 3 reps, then an additional 1.25-kilos x 3 reps, then another 1.25-kilos (so 30+pin+5) x 1 solid rep and then I wad done. The target is a pair of slim'ish 45lb plates or 2 x 20-kilo plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Is pinching plates that different from the 2HP? I could've sworn you were able to lift 2-20kg discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mobster has a ton of videos of himself in Youtube. Click on this one, http://www.youtube.com/user/Gripperbookguy He underlines stuff, which makes it look like it's a link, but unless your mouse changes to a hand or something, it's not a ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I've not linked to anything nor have I underlined anything. I HAVE used their annotation function but that's all. The videos are getting better as I do more. The last two took me about 10 minutes max. Rico: as per Auturo I occasionally tape stuff but not in a regular basis.
