burkhardmacht Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Did some DLs yesterday: max weight for a few singles was only 160kg. For some reasons my lower back is pretty stiff and painful the last weeks. So I had to be satisfied with that. The 190-200kg seem to be out of reach for this year - but who knows?! I'll go on training for sure. I tested a DO DL with 160kg and it was really easy - even after doing a really hard grip session after which I could not control all of my fingers anymore.

Burkhard, I would think that your grip is strong enough that DO grip would not lower your weights much if any. You probably can lift just about the same weight DO with an axel.

No, my max on the Axle is 147,5kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Damn, that sucks Burki. Do some gymastics for the back. I do that regularily after each DL workout. BTW: Its exactly THREE years that I started that log. So: Happy birthday Challenge Log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ok, heal up soon. I had another go at the Huge Shiny. This time a full bend attempt. I HATE THESE BARS!!! Again I was stopped at around 120°, I came only a little bit further compared to my last prekinked attempt. Worked like 10-15 mins with the bar and gave up then. @Mike, I ordered a Pro and a WC to improve my crush down. Be prepared ... Whats your best attempt on the Huge so far?

Booyah!!! Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 @Mike, I ordered a Pro and a WC to improve my crush down. Be prepared ... Whats your best attempt on the Huge so far? Hi Franky, Not sure of my best, but 3/8 is quite common I have actually finished one over a 2 week ISO workout with very thin wrapping I need to go back to the ISOs.

FrankyBoy Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Its a device to train the wrists which I tried at Chris home last year. If I have it I'll show you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Bending 3rd session of my 'comeback'. 0xHuge Shiny, barely kinked it 0xEdgin, no move from 60° prekink 1x5.5" Red, was a long and tough fight to come over the sticking point. Afterwards I nearly failed in finishing it off. Very weak, worked today and had no lunch. Hopefully that explains it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Good stuff Franky! Can You already lift it in the normal way - I remember the 45# was very slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks, actually I tried it yesterday but it didn't budge. Stupid Blob. Today an unplanned gym session I got a call by a former training partner and decided to train with him. Deadlifts Careful session, hips aren't ok. I also tweaked my back during the warmup with 140(!) kg. Did some gymnastics afterwards and tried to continue: 7x170kg 3x190kg Bench Not easy since I trained already yesterday and was a bit sore 5x40 5x50 5x60 5x70 5x90 5x100 4x110 + leg presses + machine biceps curls + lat pull downs + abs exercize all in all not bad.

Not easy was a bit sore all in all not bad. :D I love Franky's idea of a good workout!!! That being said, 3*190 is impressive in this state!!

FrankyBoy Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hmm, there might be a state between 'not bad' and 'good'. Next DL session I'll do some deadstopped reps. The weight will be either 192.5 or 180. Weather is going to be a bit better here so I soon might be able to go for the 50 x 80kg power cleans on the axle also.

FrankyBoy Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Gym Session Wow, I'm so sore. Did another bench session but focussed on more reps. Went up to 15x80kg. HARD. Then the killer event. I challenged a friend of mine who formerly worked in that gym as a trainer. We did that special abs exercize (pushup position but on the forearms). To make it harder we did that exercize with additional weight on the butt: 1. set with 10kg 2. set with 15kg 1. Set: I came to 2:15min, not bad, but he did some awesome 3:37. 2. Set: Me 1:30, he 2:00min Thats sooo painful, nice! + rear shoulders + leg biceps + calfs + biceps + triceps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 wow! was he on his knees or what ??!? 2.15 with the 10kg plate is really good also. I tried it once last week, did less than 2 minutes. will go for it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Grippers, full CC reps Warmup 10XS 10xT 3x#1 Training Left 1xBBM 1x#2 3xBBM 2xBBM 13x#1 11x#1 Right 1xreg. RB210 2x#2.5 2x#2.5 1x#2.5 6x#2 8x#2 My lefty is extremly weak in wide setting with grippers. Theres almost no coordination doing a CC attempt. Maybe the CC-training will overcome that weakness a bit. Goal is the #2.5 lefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
