BigT Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks T! I am still at the heavy singles, but i think i will not go for 6 days, instead i'll do 4 days, 1 off, 4 days 2 off. Next week i'll have a little grip meet with ze djermááns.. Lh is really close the #3, best attempt was under 0,5cm. RH on the elite is just really nice, but not there.. Keep hitting 0,5cm.. Got the Elite from shrug, and he tested it at 3.4, but no less, maybe a bit more.. Well, i am never sure about how hard it is, so after 6 all out attempts i picked up #3 to see if i was strong enough to close it.. Well, no problem! could say that's a PR! ← Dutch, keep going your doing great. Let all know how the grip meet goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 3rd day of the negatives.. Don't really like them. Just sitting in front of TV watching time goes by to do another set. I do feel i am stronger. I like to mix negatives up with OC. Tomorrow is the last day, day 4, and then it's two days rest and i'll close that Elite!!!

DuTCH Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 No, don't have a #4 yet... I will receive a new 2005 #3 and #4 this week. I use a RB365, same as #4 for negatives.. Sometimes the BBSE and RB330N... that's a bit easier on the hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yup, nice collection i got.. Now there is something i couldn't resist, and that's ordering some new RB grippers! Man, i totally lost it, but since i have a job for the summer, i want to spend some cash while i still can It's easy for me, just wire some money and i got some grippers! I ordered a RB260N and a RB300N... grippers i got: IM #1 IM #2 IM #3 New IM #3 New IM #4 RB240 RB330N RB365 ext. handle BBE BBSE soon to come RB260N RB300N Did some pinch training too. I got 57,5kg.. That's some decent progress, because before the swiss comp i only got 40kg.. This weekend i will try the euro setup, anxious to see if i can get a lift off on 80kg.. Burkhardt has all the goodies a gripmaniac needs, an INCH, blob 50.... will be fun! btw, i also did some bending, horrible.. could only manage a 8mm bar (or was i dreamin') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 My hands are a bit tired, i worked all day dragging containers around the street as a garbage man. This does effect training a bit. Today i did a elite and #3 attempt. They went ok, but not as expected. I wanted to do a heavy squat session, but our gym was closed So not 100% strength.. But it went ok. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=2852 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Well, last saturday i had a little griptogether with the GERMANS>> It was very nice, and we enjoyed ourselves very good with all the stuff burki and others brought with them. Thanks to Burkhard and Hauke and Nina for the food and the hospitality! As usual Franky and i are battling eachother down, with everything we can find.. Result? Franky won with pinch, but with a slight difference, as opposed to the 13kg at the Swiss.. V-bar, me.. R-ring, me. (burki lifted more than me... ) Little big horn, he pussied out.. Bending, franky ofcourse, grippers he can close harder with parallel, but i can no-set better, stronger lefty!!!! Anyway, i had a great time, had some good meals on the BBQ. Got a little present from moser, a pinch apparatus!! He will get a keg of beer from the brand GROLSCH! After a lot of grippers and pinching, i tried the MM1 dud, nearly closed it. Stupid that i didn't do it before when i was fresh. Put it in my gallery later on. I also repped an easy #3 for 8, and franky did 9.. Sunday i was sore, and today i realized the EM is only away 11 days.. So i went to the gym for some OH lifts. Workout went as followed. btw, i did it on my loading pin. BH- 120x3 BH- 140x3 BH- 160x2 RH 180kgx1 RH 210kgx1 RH 215kgx1 I was surprised i managed it. Took almost a full hour! Anyway, i figure with some moderate intense workouts i will be able to get some higher numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
