Rick Walker Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 I have a night class this semester that ends at 7:50 and it is another 30-40 minutes to get home so I have to train grip late tonight. Last week I felt crapy, but tonight-oh boy!!! COCs- warmed up with #1 for 8s. I then went to #2 AND MASHED IT FOR 2 SETS OF 3 EACH HAND AND THEN HELD IT CLOSE FOR 20 SECONDS EACH HAND!!!!!!!! Sorry to yell, but hot ####, I am EXCITED! When I bought these torture devices I couldnt close the #2. I then closed the #3 with assistance from my leg and held as long as possible. The pain. Next was heavy hammer-forearms were already screaming. I use an olympic dumbbell and hold onto the very end of one side and put 1- 2.5 on the other side-2 sets of 5 each hand then 1 set of 6 each hand with no weight. Forearms near death. Pinched 1 1/4 standard plate with 25 for 2 sets as long as possible. Still cant get an olympic 25 plate off the ground by the hub but I am VERY CLOSE. Done. I will explain my new workout and theory behind it as soon as my forearms stop screaming at me. This typing is killing me- Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Good workout Rick. What kind of plate do you use for the hub lifting ? I have Weider plates at the gym and I can lift a 45 VERY easily. I suppose the York have a wider and shorter hub. The Weider plates' hub is about 3" wide and 1 1/2" high. Keep working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted January 30, 2002 Author Share Posted January 30, 2002 Tou- I have Yorks and Standards. The hub on the 25 is less then an inch tall but I am not sure of the size-it is a lot harder to get ahold of!!! I use the 1 1/4 standard plate flat and a 3 pound standard plate with a chain running through them to practice. i just use my finger tips so it mimics it well. Pics coming soon- Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 That rocks! It just shows you it's goodd to show up even though you might not feel like it & just try to do through the motions because it might turn out that you have a killer workout!
