Geo Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Looking good BigT! Do you find the handgripper helper much help?! Ive heard mixed reports about it. I changed from an office job in september last year to working with my hands. There was a period of about a month or so when I was chiselling english Oak all day long . It wreaked havoc on my grip strength (and my strength for powerlifting)- because I wasnt used to using my hands all day long. However Im used to it now and it doesnt effect my training. So keep going and Keep up the hard work mate. Edited February 27, 2006 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigT Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Whew I've been gone a while on posting, my bad Still training grippers been training with medium grippers to basically build up my base strength and going for more mastery than anything. Been working on closing my hard BBSM (3 inch spread) any time for my right and left using my #2 and all. Now I'm heading back to my 2004#3(harder than MM1) this coming week right and my BBSM for my left to see where I'm at. My best on my 2004#3 is 3/16, something about that last little bit I'll be going back at Handgripperman's program but doing it only for 3 weeks and then I wanna rest for 1 week as I"m going on a few months straight training and need me some rest Random pr's for me during this time: Nearly a full neg with my 50 lb blob (thanks to John Brookfield for selling it to me he said this is one of the originals)...I never thought I could even move this as it's always felt like beast, a goal for me this year is to get this. Passing 2 25's back and forth(myiron cast plates are the worst for pinching and the gym's 25's are way easier mine are just horrible, Josh your so right these plates take a while to do anything with)...should start working on breaking 2 35's off ground soon another goal for the year Steel handled#3 w/ JAG 2 prototype still tightening this thing down more, fully tightened it will be an average#4 Also other little things here and there. Boy can't wait till Monday, Big T is on the move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaner Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You should add that blob lift to your goals at the bottom of your posts, I see we are very close in strength and goals, I'll have to keep an eye on your log. I'm hoping to be real close on my 2004 #3 when it gets back to me, I've closed it with a choker at parallel many times, but the sweep is sooo nasty it's real hard to set.

Next week I work on breaking 2 35's off ground my other year's goal of course with these iron cast plates it'll be a nice challenge Extensors: IM outer limit loops rail extensions(I hang my hand over my bed rail and do one hand extensions) 1 setx20 R-27&1/2...pr L-22&1/2...pr Night: R-hard elite@3/8 inches in hose clamp.. tad less than 1/16 pr here and close misses after that Josh said binds up real good I just have to get that last little bit and I'm cool I thought it was closed but found it it just wasn't L-BBSM in choker did alright here. Overall: tear phone book...tore a small one at that I feel but another one of my year's goals knocked down as well Dexerity: broomstick twirl 2 1/2...complete control with twirling fingers will soon increase this easiest it's ever felt and I was tired after grippers and tearing here so I'm good on that. It looks like the rest really did me alot of good. I train 3 times a day and I know now to rest every few months or so to compensate and it worked.

BigT Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Nice work BigT! I like how you cover those different aspects of grip! Thanks guys the dexerity work is fun getting better over time with those. Yesterday's workout Morning... Goal gripper: R-2004#3x1 L-Super Filed #2 ISG full range closes working up as high as I can at 6 in the morning before work and slightly after waking up Afternoon: R-elitex1...1/4 of an inch whew that was great 2004#3x1..

I like the Beefbuilder grippers a lot. The knurling is just right IMO. Ever thought about putting that elite in a hose clamp? Ive got my elite in one to 1 1/4" and that works the inner range. The RB300 is a bit harder than the elite IMO and Ive started using that for training the outer rom. just a thought although working the way you are will be just as good its good to mix things up every now and again.
