honk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Turtle, do you have leather yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 For the thick bar pull downs, there was just this random revolving thick bar about 2 feet long, it was too short but I just did a few pull downs with it for fun... Honk, I have some leather but I cant use it worth a crap, it just doesnt tighten up for me the way I want, but I will SOON have some leather... Although Im not going to be bending as much anymore.

Muscle Turtle Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Plate Curls - 25's for 8, 8, 12, 7 2 Hand Pinch - 110 by a bunch of shitty sets, then finally got 6 reps in Hub (home made) - 40 lbs left - 4, right- 10 Grippers - left #2 for 7, right SM for 8 Bending (middle finger) - 8 60d's Bending with middle fingers is almost impossible for me, I have NO kink at all. I think I wont bend veyr often and just slowly work my way back up. I have been doing a lot of plate handling and trying to carry them while pinching them, well doing so really hurt my 2 hand pinch this evening. I finally got a good clamp on it and got a few reps in, but it should have been more. Next time I do these, I need to free my hands up for a few days prior and really rest. Also, I really have to warm up my pinch. 10's, 25's, 35's, 45's then rep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Side Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 That plate curls coming along, have you tried clamping a 2.5lb on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Dont have a clamp, not too worried about it yet. The next time they come around, I should be strong enough for singles with 35's, if I get sigles, Ill be able to build the volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle Turtle Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Tonight had a lot of plate handling involved. The crew had some big lifts tonight. Lugged the 140s for a trip across the gym which was HEAVY. I did a few light lifts with the bands double over hand and it has really been helping my grip out. Worked on pinching a single 45 with thumb on smooth side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle Turtle Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 a little up date on the hands for everyone. I havent been handling the d bells as much, been rolling them across the gym which takes like 10 minutes but oh well... My thumb is feeling pretty good, been icing it down quite a bit and its really healing up well. Went away at the dyno today, got 200 pounds bang on, my previous best was 190, so hopefully in 2 weeks my hands will feel 110% and Ill be able to rip peoples heads off!
