ObsceneJester Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well today was another KTA.. The NC's with my flush mounted BBGM with my right is killing me.. my pinky keeps falling off so I keep squeezing tho, but I do need that pinky and I can't seem to keep it there after I brace it against my leg, so we will see what happens for the remainder of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well today was another KTA..The NC's with my flush mounted BBGM with my right is killing me.. my pinky keeps falling off so I keep squeezing tho, but I do need that pinky and I can't seem to keep it there after I brace it against my leg, so we will see what happens for the remainder of the week You could try to chest crush it instead and try to apply the pressure with your free hand on top of the index and middle finger only. That should help you to keep your pinky properly positioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should help you to keep your pinky properly positioned. Thanks that seemed to help a little bit more.. tho still kinda ackward. I guess I have to get use to it. Well another day in KTA.. the NC's are alot of fun.. I know they are helping my crush so I enjoy doing them (not at the time mind you) My workout with weights went as.. Bench Press: 205lbs 9x3 Deads: 300lbs 4x5 Overhead Press: 3x5 120lbs Hise Shrugs: 4x12 210lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsceneJester Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 I did KTA again today.. the NC's took a piece my callous off my pinky finger kinda hurt.. but I love the idea of the NC. Even tho it's discouraging it feels like your waging war against that gripper and you fight and fight till you have nothing so you keep on fighting. Sounded kinda gay yes but it was fun/painful to do it. Also took my BBGM, #2 and filed #1 to church yesterday, only one person got the #1 (got a big bearclaw 7 3/4 hands) and barely got it, but he did it. Kinda fun to see all the people try it then look at me and ask "Why do you need to have such a strong grip" or my favorite "Those are gay, why did you get them?" while they try to close it then fail.

ObsceneJester Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Today was so damn hot outside so working out sucked Pull-ups-50lbs 10x3 Couldn't do front squats legs hurt Incline Bench- 135lbs 4x6 Reverse Curls- 60lbs 4x6 Abs like normal Grippers was pretty painful I'm trying to get the Elite for negatives but it's almost to damn hard the specs on it is -1/16 mounting 2 13/16 spread ... so I used a BBGM (flushed mounted and a little over 2 3/4 spread) for both left and right I have to say I am still loving NC's.. knowing one day I'm going to get that #3 and watching it open in my hand after all the squeezing power I've got really seems to modivate me and have more respect for the #3 closers and above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsceneJester Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 End of Phase 2, Week 1.. my left hand was so weak that I couldn't even do the 2nd straphold so I had to double up on the strap (1/16 inch strap) just to hold onto it. I microload with a roll of electrical tape.. Those NC's are brutal.. I still enjoy doing them for some reason but after I'm done doing the NC's I forget to breathe and I start to get headaches, stupid me. Hands feel great (in a painful kinda way) and my right hand pinky is raw and bright pink. Looking forward to next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsceneJester Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well today was another humid day here in Ga.. Light weight stuff for this week, my shoulder is starting to hurt me Dips-45lbs 4x10 Rows- 135lbs 4x8 20 Rep Squats with 145lbs Abs like normal Grippers- Had KTA today, was pretty tough, finished it in about 45 mins.. The NC's are starting to really take a toll on my hands and because it's so humid out there my pinky tends to slip off during these. Strapholds this week have been a pain in the butt.. I added a hose clamp to my #2 for strapholds and Overcrushes (right hand) Looking forward to the rest of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsceneJester Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 As Patrick Swayzee said in the movie "Roadhouse"..pain doesn't hurt anymore!!! Well wish that was true.. I was warming up for KTA today and a pop happened in my right hand index finger and my left pinky finger. Tried to squeeze grippers but it hurt to bad, couldn't even close the filed #1, so I'm taking a day off in Phase 2, Week 2.. Very disappointed in myslef.. but I really wouldn't want to risk injury over this but again very disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Don't feel too bad its just part of the game. I've had to take a few days off throughout KTA for occasional tendon pain in my left hand. Always came back better. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsceneJester Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well this is the first time I've split up KTA becuase of my hand so I'm going to try to do 1/2 in the morning (which I already did) and 1/2 tonight and see how it goes My hand doesn't hurt as much but now the NC's have really turned into Smooth outs because my hands are tired and sore/hurt.. I'll see tonight if I need an additional rest maybe take Saturday and Sunday off and start on monday.. I'll update this when I'm done tonight to see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsceneJester Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 KTA wasn't that hard but it took me like 1 1/2 hours close to 2 hours (really wasn't paying attention) Tried to close the #3 got it parallel..
