dannyboy Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 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. ← im here theo. I started that prog again. Only on day 3 so far. Ill let you kno how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 (edited) Hello there, Grippers: closed my RB300N! Very nice! Wanted to do the RB330N but that was still a half inch off.. Hope to make a compilation of a RB300N and a RB330N and a BBE someday Strapholds also, with a #3 and a #2 for lefty. Held a #3 with 1,25kg for 25sec.. Wanted to do another set but that turned out to only 6 seconds.... Bummer.. I am obligued to say that i set the #3 in a choker, since that is easier At the gym i did some RT work, came out to both hands 72,5kg.. Not so good.. I am doubting about David's contest. I will check with school tomorrow to see if i can go.. The thing is, i have to get points every year. 60 credits every year, and i am in my 3rd year. So, 1st year i still have 12 credits left from 60... And, 2nd year i still have 32 credits left from 60 !!! And this year, 3rd year i also have to do my regular 60... and considering that 1,5 credits stands for 40 hours studying, i still have work cut out for me! So i am pretty sure i won't make it, since my exams are right in the week before the contest... Anybody have some advice?

mobsterone Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I have some advice: why are you doing RT work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) To mess up my gripwork! Nono, my big GROLSCH friend Moser is organizing a RT event somewhere around november/ december and i want first place! btw, what's your advice big fella?

Mikael Siversson Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Don't worry about the RT's. I am doing them as well even though thickbar lifting is not included in the Australian Championship in December. Everyone interested in allround grip strength should do thickbar lifting in my view. Just don't go overboard with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Good luck at the AGC then Mikael! Been a bit dissapointed since i know said that i won't compete.. Had to do it though, but man, i sure was fueled after seeing the results at the GGC!! Anyway, didn't do much work. Since i signed up for the MM1 the focus will be a bit more towards grippers. Yesterday: small session with grippers, warm up #1 3 reps with #2 2 reps with HG300 BH 5 attempts #3 in a choker, 0,5cm LH 3 times closed 3 attempts with BBE in choker 0,5cm 3 closed! 2 sets of 5 reps with BBE in choker, all closed , clickclick!! 2 attempts with RB330N at parallel, missed by a hair.

PS: Tell me what you would have done and I'll do those as my warm-ups... just for you ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Great work on the RB300N! Is that about the Elite level? I'm ordering one as of 5 minutes ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 I think you mean the RB330N?? Well, the RB330N is more like a 3.5 no less. It is really hard. Maybe 3.6... It is waaay harder than my BBE.. your gripper will be sent right now, im off to the post office, so no worries! Bit of luck, it will be there friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, for starters, let's just see if you can get 145, then 155kg and then 165, and 170-175kg... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Just received an email from Wout Zijlstra. The reigning highland games champion... He asked me to participate in a stronman contest... Wow.. This came out of the blue, it will be in 2 months.. I think i will do it, but i am worried about my shoulder. If i enter, i may not be able to do the log, since my shoulder can't handle that yet.. That may look stupid though. Anyway, we'll see. Finally got around to season Moser his V-bar.. Rub in , rub out.. It has a nice layer of chalk on it. It was really tough to do 120kg on it, but yesterday 135kg BH flew 1"up... not good enough yet! Ended with 125, 120, 115kg...

DuTCH Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks Ben! Well, signed up for the MM1 and right away my strength hit rock bottom!! Nervous, who knows... So it was time for a change.. I figured i need to hit the grippers really hard and thoroughly exhaust them, rest and do it again.. Warm up #1 Filed #2 for 2 reps. #3 for 1 RH Workout: For left hand, a goal # of 20 singles with the BBSM (2.7) wich i reached.PR! Next time is 30 singles. Btw, it's not that i missed the 21st, but i was bored and it takes too much time. RH: choked BBE, 1cm, 5 singles Choked #3 (2005) 1,3cm 5 singles I mixed the singles up, doing the BBE, and then the #3 etc... then 5 singles with #3 (2004) LH, straphold with 2,5kg filed #2 RH, clicks with HG300 (2.8) and BBSM.. 10 and 8 with HG300 and 25 with BBSM RH, did straphold with 2,5kg. BH finished with repping the #1. thatbathatthatthaththat was all folks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Felt like doing a bit more work for right hand. I did 30 singles with my cert. #3... So in total that's 35 singles for today with the #3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Skipped V-bar yesterday, since i am preparing for that MM1 gripper. Did some block weights, for time.. Today: Grippers Set the choker on BBE to 2cm and the new #3 to 1" RH work: warm up #1 #2 for a single BBSM for 1 #3 for 1 RB300N for 1 BBE in choker for 5 singles.. And the #3 in choker for 5.. Did every single with a max hold.. Last set was a straphold with 2,5kg with BBSm for 20 sec. RT, i know it blows my crush, but couldn't resist. GOt (incl. pin) 74kg left and 79kg right.. Going up!! maybe tonight some more work for grippers.. I really hit it hard and then when rest time comes, i'll see what happens... Probably gonna set the SE in choker again. See if i can close it with 0,5cm.. This should give me some more strength for a hold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Pfff, not much going on... Grippers, had a pretty crappy day. #3 in choker at 2,5cm.. Did 3 closes.. BBE in choker at 2 cm.. Did 2 closes.. Still progress. But not good enough! I mean, i did a friggin' good close on it on vid! Missed my 2004 #3 by 0,2cm lefty! Some strapholds afterwards, but had trouble getting that lace inbetween.. Started with one hand pinch.. Best was 28kg right. and 26 left. Have to work here.. Some TTK work too... Haven't got a confirmation about German Grip Comp, hope to enter there. But hey, i am not German Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
