Yeah, i know.. Feeling it with straps will make one realize you are still miles away...

2HP.. Pretty good.

3rd session since my loooong layaway and i must say, when i hit 75kg last week, i was like mmm...

Today,

worked up to 80kg for 4 singles

got all excited and hit 82,5kg

even more excited.. 85kg! back at my previous level. almost.

did some holds, and then the new flashy pinc technique.

After that i did some blockweights. Now one might think i am overdoing it a bit, but reason for this is that when working with the SE i feel i lack in the pinky and ring finger. Blockweight pinches with pink and finger finger,, i mean RING finger always added some strength to my closes on grippers. We'll see.

well done with getting your pinch back Dutch! I see you are using the Mobster pinch technique. It works better when you have a cockney yelling in your ear not to stop pinching and lifting! :D

Must have been the clean and jerks with the 2" dumbell, cause my shoulders were hurtin' a bit, anyway:

Bench, 120kg for 5 sets of 3 (had 6 in mind, didn't want to strain too much)

Dips, 3 sets of 10

Milit. barbell press: 4 sets of 6 with 55kg. Had more in mind, but the shoulders were hurtin'.

Laterals, 2 sets of 8, last set with 16kg

Rear laterals, 2 sets of 10, last set 7kg

Squats: 6 sets of 4 with 105kg

Axe deads, 6 sets of 4 with 115kg.

And did rt work, left doubles with 76,5kg and right doubles with 86,5kg. Didn't go that well because yesterday i hit blobs and hubs real hard, and that does affect the hands, apparently ;)

Well, yes i am, how the hell should I be able to beat you guys if i don't train for it?? :tongue;)

Seriously, i have to work a bit on the hubs, blobs are ok, but hubs i don't have, i can't train. I do have a hub device, but i think to be able to get a 20kg plate, i should be high pulling 20K on the hub pin. (btw, thanks for the hub toddel :kiss)

Overslept, until 2 in the afternoon, and had a little less than an hour and hit the gym before it got closed.

Did some high rep tricep work with pushdowns, overhead cable extensions and reverse pushdowns.

Biceps, barbell curls, 3 sets of 5 with 52,5kg. (i'll make it a mainstay again, with a regular bar, i'd like to get over 65kg this time so i'll stick with it.)

Concentration curl, 3 sets of 6-8, last set with 20kg.

V-bar, what looked like a crappy session, actually turned in to a moment of joy!

v-bar story: after only a half year of training, i was able to hit 156,5kg (wich still stands i think on the record for left, or broken by johan) on the v-bar. Never ever duplicated that again on the lgc bar. I looked and saw i had a whole different stance at that time. Made the adjustments today, and look, i pulled much better this time. Not totally to the stance change ofcourse, but still.

Left, 5-6 sets of doubles within 120-130kg.

Right, 5-6 sets of doubles within 130-140kg. Then felt really good and hit 144kg, and 152,5kg! Best ever pulled on this v-bar, was 145kg, wich got me on contest day a 155kg lift. Joy!

Thanks, correction, the 145kg done in training, was a 152,5kg lift in contest. So a 7,5kg difference.

Interesting. Two things: I had a blinding session, reported months ago in my log, when I was late and rushed to the gym. Secondly I did my best 155-kilos on my usual pin shortly before hitting my 162.9-kilos at the CoC event. Just over 7.5-kilos different. That said I did 150-kilos total weight on that pin for 12 singles last week and the V-Bar is on it's way... are you worried :blink
