FrankyBoy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 06/02/05 vbar Analyzed again Johans vid from the last europeans. Tried his style and it didn't go that bad. I already had tried his style earlier but felt a bit uncomfortable due to the wrist position. Yesterday that wasn't that strange any more. Perhaps a result from my bending workouts. Both left and right handed: 1x40 1x60 1x80 1x100 1x110 1x115 1x117.5 1x120 1x122.5 (I missed that one twice with my right before I finally got it) 0x125kg (two misses for both hands) Total: 2 x 124 = 248kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thanks guys. 06/03/05 Pinch and OHL 2-hand pinch with gloves for holds: 71.5kg x 8s 74kg x 2 2x71.5kg x 0s 71.5kg x 3s 69kg x 3s 66,5 x 5s 64kg x 6s OHL no regular session 5x50kg 5x90kg 4x110kg I stopped here. Actually I wanted to get 15x110kg. But my skin is still sore from the new vbar test yesterday. Furthermore it felt like I strained my right middle finger a bit so I didn't risk to get injured there. I will try the OHL again either tomorrow or on sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always used a rather thin towel. My hands hurt after each bending session for a couple of hours. Pain disappeared after a few months.

FrankyBoy Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 06/07/05 Recovery My girl friend bought a new oil made of Arnika flowers and gave me a 5 minutes per side massage for hands and forearms. Feels great. Later I'll do a 2-hand pinch session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the swiss Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 cool! any gripper work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 06/08/05 Pinch Well actually I wanted to do pinch. Did singles bare handed. First I measured the apparatus and saw that the pinch plates weren't exactly centered. I centered them and started: 1x31,5kg 1x61,5kg 1x81,5kg 0x86,5kg Disappointed as I was I did some DO bending instead and got two new PRs: 6 1/4" Red and 6" FBBC bar. David, no I didn't any gripper work yet since my right hand still feels strange after the last DU bending session. I hope to be alright at your contest.
