I'm finally getting some chalk to stick to my Americanised copy of Davids pinch set up. I managed to get 175# so far but as it seasons; I'm hopeing to get back up to the weights I used on my 2-45# plate setup. I like the different widths available but still haven't decided which width I am best with - August is approaching fast and David is just getting farther and farther ahead - looks like I better work harder.

Good workout David.

I worked a bit with the euro setup the last days and I decided to go for the 100K on my setup if Chris and David don't mind. :inno

During my very first session I got 77kg on the euro setup. I think 80k or a bit more are possible but I'm far away from the 90 I assumed.

Frankie - I think we are in trouble plenty, my friend. David's just not human - that's my excuse anyway. I try pinch again in a couple hours - I hope for progress or any kind. I'll let you know what happens.

170# x 1

180# x 1

I'm doing some rest right now. In two days I'll attack the pinch again seriously at Burkis birthday meeting.

Tonight was supposed to be an easy night for grip but warming up, my pinch felt so good that I had to go for it. Please check out the gallery for the result.
