DuTCH Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yeah we should get in line.. When is the next round?? I put an attempt of the elite in my gallery.. So close! http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=3041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Strong attempt. However, you should master this Elite first before going for the MM1. The original MM1 might be as hard as your Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks for the advice, i will master it! I will probably need to be overcrushing this little baby before the MM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Tried to do that thumbless OH lift. Pretty strange lift. Tried between the legs and standing behind the barbell. I got 100kg both hands. So that is allright, nothing special. Then did some levering. Not very strong, but still allright. Did a few sets of 3 with 3,5kg. GOt ways to go, but there is time.. Then wanted to do grippers, wich was a no go. Strange... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Check out the link I gave yer to my log. I have some work am and some work PM. That helps keep strength up for grippers which take just 20 minutes to train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Always checking it!! Not much done.. Some sledge work with 8lbs.. Feels fine, just have to get more of a feel to it and not land it on top of my hand.. Did V-bar, feels good, been a bit off though. But getting there. Planning another session this week for the 'feel' of it. RT work too, went allright. Working with 80%. Couldn't duplicate the Elite close, but that's not priority. I noticed a HUGE strenght decrease when doing other gripwork first. So that will be my focus, to keep strenght up. Since the champion contest places grippers last.....

DuTCH Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Where is dannyboy at? Felt a bit overtrained overall with the hands. Took whole weekend off. Did a gripper workout this morning. Warmup on #1 BH reps on filed #2 LH a few attempts on a pretty hard HG300 RH a few attempts on BBE, came within a hair... That was much better than last week Strapholds: LH 3 sets with my filed #2 with 2,5kg RH 3 sets with #3 with 1,25kg for 10 seconds Pretty good session. V-bar is going allright. Working really slow with my smaller and slicker v-bar. I didn't train with this one for the euros, and i did for other contest. Since the euro was a bit dissapointing i hope this change of bar will help. Finished with 115kg both hands for reps. Slowly raising weight by the week.
