1x65kg L PR !!! +1xR

1x70kg R the weight I injured myself last time, phew

+ 2 attempts on the 67kg Inch lefty: 15cm on both.

However I still felt some pressure on one side in the lower back.

So I really watched my form.

Thanks Joonas, back is still not perfect but I can train with it thats the most important thing.

Flo, I haven't thought much about my goals for 2010 but these are the most interesting currently:

- Inch Lift

- MM3

- close of an easy #4

- Bench: not totally sure, sth like 12x120kg would be nice, if I stay healthy.

Thanks Ben!

Yesterday some training potpurri-style with Martin.

He brought his Inch and as expected, it stays on the floor. :D

I hope I can do sth with it til March.

Besides this alot of Tug work, thumb and 2 finger training.

My new Tug #3 is perfect for the left thumb.

Painful and therefor short bench session:

115kg (253#) x 7, 4

that was below my expectations. Elbow did hurt again, so I stopped it there.

Gripper

Impressive work for your thumbs with the IMTUG4 (and the way you perform the close is not the easiest !)

Hope your elbow will heal as soon as possible.

Thanks Flo!

Bench

Used a narrower grip width today: decreased the width by 10cm (~4") to see

how it affects the issues in my right arm (shoulder and elbow).

30x20kg

25x40kg

15x60kg

5x80kg

5x90kg

1x100kg

1x110kg

115kg x 6, 5, 5, 5, 5 = 26 total

Only one rep less in the 1st set than during my last workout.

Good result for using a new grip width which feels significantly different

from the usual one.

Also, I didn't feel anything in the shoulder and the pain in the elbow was

very acceptable. Hence I could do a good workout today. Last saturday I had

to stop the bench session in the 2nd set after the 4th rep.

I'll keep that grip width for the future workouts.

Short term goal: 10x115kg

Grippers

Warmup

12x#2 LR

Training

Left

0xez #3

RB210 x 4, 5, 5, 4

Right

7xez #3

1xn E

ez E x 4, 3, 4, 4, 3

Note: Focussing on fat bar right now, I'm just trying to keep my gripper

level around the MM2 which equals approx. a triple on that ez E. So anything

above a triple is a currently a success for me.

Hey Franky,

did you also tried fat db lifts with a thumbless grip? This could be a nice addition to your training, I think.

Thanks Joefrey.

Lower back and shoulder are perfect again.

Doing the Inch training now again without a belt, no problem.

Still the elbow needs some rehab work.
