Muscle Turtle Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 So I have decided to start a training log because I have to start righ tfrom scrap again. My hand was pretty messed up and this is the first grip workout I have been able to do for the past couple of months. Hopefully I will heel up fairly well and get back on track. I have no goals righ tnow, just to heel up well and move some decent weights. Hope my journal provides someone with something! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on using it as it saves skin, and when I use it I feel a lot more beat up afterwards, which I THINK is usually a good thing...

Muscle Turtle Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hub Lift - 25 for 6 singles Fat Bar Rack Pulls (2 leather) - 90 by 6, 140 by 6, 160 by 1, 90 by 19 Bending - 5 inch yellows, 21 of em Chest Crushes - #3 for 5 sets of 3 Grippers - 8 negatives with COC #1 Chin Levering - 3 sets of 3 with the smallest hammer you ever seen So I am HORRIBLE and levering, and my grippers are even weaker than before, haha. I am going to do negatives from here on in until I feel as though my hands are strong enough to get back to where I used to be, which may take a while.. My yellow bends went well today, I was trying to break them down into 3 explosive movements, which were a small kink, then through the sweep, and a crush... All movements were done seperately but very explosive. The reason I took this approach today was because my sweep is very weak and I cant "pump" during the bar during it like my kink and crush. Fat bar work today was very intersting, the bar felt very large but it was a very good feeling. I think the bar with both leathers on it equals the Apollons Axel, so Im a long ways from doing any damage on it. My hub lifts felt ok, I didnt get as many singles as I wanted to, but oh well. Today was my LAST workout at home, off to SCHOOL in 4 days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, the plan is to start doing more ME bends until my hand gets better, Im gonna really atack my hand and rehab it like mad. Im gonna start doing more reps and such with my lifts, need to toughen up my hands, Im sick of this pain in them... time to get strong!

climber511 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 MT - nice mix of different movements - you should end you with a good balanced development over time. You might think about more extensor work though. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle Turtle Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 2 Hand Pinch (on thick Yorks) - 125 for 1 V Bar - 270 with left and right Negs with #2 gripper - 7 Bending - worked up to a Red So the past few days i have been really beat up, not enough sleep, too much school work and all of that crap. I benched yesterday so that Red was pretty tough, under a minute still but not nearly fast enough. The 2 hand inch was good, those plates are pretty thick and sharp but with chalk they were alright. The gripers are finally starting to feel good again, good things are comming my way!!! Hopefully my cert will not be next week but rather the week after to give my palm enough time to heel. I will not bench the day before my cert but rather take it off to heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
