FrankyBoy Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Finally got rid of that ANNOYING cold. Yesterday a bench test at home: 5x40kg 5x60kg 5x80kg 5x90kg 5x100kg 5x102.5kg 5x105kg 2x105kg Every set over 80 felt ugly but I didn't lose too much strength. My shoulder definately has healed during the two weeks rest, nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thanks Dan! Wow, I'm sore today in the pecs. Only 9 days to go to the HGC. I feel I should do at least 1 or 2 training sessions before the comp but those should be easy ones for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Puh, my back hurts - from doing partial squats with 195kg on my brand new Buffalo bar. And it hurts from sitting too long at Flos latest armwrestling contest. Was happy to get out of the competition hall to walk a bit, putting my InchDB out of the car to see Silvan Bieli (Swiss) give it some serious airtime with and without thumb! Unbelievable...

Florian Kellersmann Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It was not really a surprise to me, seeing Silvan Bieli lifting the Inch. He already beat guys like Taras Ivakin, Johann Lindholm and Ron Bath and he had good hand and wrist control over Dirk Schenker in my opinion. A very nice guy!

burkhardmacht Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 ... and wrist control over Dirk Schenker in my opinion. A very nice guy! Yes, it was impressive to see him beating Dirk - who lifted the Inch pretty easy in 2006 as You can see here: link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Did some light weight DL sumo style: 6x60 6x100 3x100 3x100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Man, I was sooo close in doing DLs also after our phone talk. I barely couldn't resist ... So I did some benching : 10x40 10x60 7x80 5x100 4x107.5 My new bar feels a bit heavy Then a small test towards the HGC on saturday. GRIPPERS Very promising to say at least. Warmup up to 3xeasy RB210 lefty and 10xez RB210 righty. Two grippers which normally feel hard for me: My hard RB210 lefty (which I can close only occasionally) and my ez Elite righty (not sure if I ever closed it with a regular set) went down with clicks or grinds. Then I barely missed the GM lefty and the RB330n righty, which are about my maxs on both hands. Now I'm very confident now for the comp when the adrenalin level is up. In comps my gripper results always were an indicator for the performance overall so I of course hope for a good entry in the contest. Next days I'll do some active recovery for my hands and work on a plan for the comp (choose of attempts). Especially DU bending will be interesting against Martin. No way to beat him but I need to come as close as possible in that event to don't lose every chance overall. My preparation was good, I'm really motivated and I want to get at least a new comp. record in the 2-hand pinch, then I'm happy. After the comp I'll focus again on DLing and address the challenges again. The Huge Shiny should be absolutely doable, all others may need a bit more work, cough cough.

the swiss Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 kill'em Franky!!! you'll do great, I am sure, unless you get one of those crazy temptations of bending/closing grippers/lifting blobs the night before the contest. nice to see you finally resting before a comp. In any case, you definately have the strength to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
