Good bending. I felt strong bending the blue. I want to take a photo of my snake bag that I use for a pad, it has so many holes in it now it's rediculous.

SO FLIPPING CLOSE TO THE #2. I thought I was going to close it when my first attempt took it easily to my 1/8" marker and held onto it. Unfortunately my best attempt took it to 1/16", I tried to hold it closed, but it opened up a hair opened up same distance inverted left hand.

All #2 attempts are CCS unless noted.

Armwrestling:

Armwrestled my friend street style for ~2 hours. He was really dominating me in the first five or so matches right handed. Just too much power. My endurance if way better though, and after that I was winning every match. He stopped my street style toproll a few times, but it didn't matter because I still pinned him in a hook. Left hand I went undefeated and never got taken more than slightly off balance. I won pretty easily. I hope that the handstand pushups are what caused me to lose so devastatingly right handed, but I have my doubts. If he really does have that much more power than me I'm in trouble. Endurance doesn't matter a lick whenever it's a $20 bet in one street style match.

Yesterday My friend and I walked the 2 miles to home depot, bought ~100lbs of wood and carried it strongman style (50lbs a piece) all the way back to my house. It was cold. We needed some wood to build an armwrestling table since our school now has an armwrestling club.

Today: First day of armwrestling club. I went undefeated. Some kids have some pretty wicked toprolls, just naturals I guess. Not too many people there, but many of my homies said that they could make it next week, we will see.

I did my normal abs workout yesterday and considered carrying and building the armwrestling table my upper body workout.

Good meet!

Tough competition again, but I was hitting my routines.

Rings- 3rd

Vault- 3rd (9.7)

Pommels 6th....bah

I made up for my sad floor routine last week. This was at the same gym so I erased my old failures. I didn't place on floor, but I did well. Stuck Vault and scored 9.7, which was good for 1st for a long time then it was put down by 9.75's (!!!) the judge told me "That was an awsome Vault", I was the first to vault in the whole meet. Rings was good, but I had some minor form errors ruining a possible second place, 1st was out of my league, stuck dismount again. Problems on pommels, but I pulled it through.

I think I closed the #2, but I wasn't 100% sure so I will wait until my #2.5 closing friend verifies a close.

A dude asked for a picture of my mullet, so I let him grab a couple.

I'll cut right to the chase,

#2 CLOSED...CLOSED...FELT THE HANDLES CLICK SHUT

Four hours of gymnastics.

Hand:

15X1 #1 No Set

2X3 #1 CCS

1X1 #1 No Set 3 fingers (left)

1X1 FLOG

1X1 #1 inverted no set (right)

3X1 #1 inverted no set (left)

5X1 #2 CLOSED (slightly wider than // right hand)

Many #2 attempts to 1/8" (left)

Many attempts to hold #2 closed (left)

a few #2 no sets down to 1/4" (left)

1X1 finger planche pushup

2X1 thumb pushups

2X1 medium orange pony

Handstand:

30 minutes of one arm handstand practice (table KO'd my foot)

2X1 handstand lower left elbow to ground press handstand repeat with right arm

lots of random handstanding around and random handstand pushups

Planche:

hit a little bit of planche stuff. lots of stagged planches.

NAILED THE #2. Now I am happy because I met my goal that I set a long time ago, to close the #2 before my 17th birthday. I looked at my list of goals from way back when I started grip training and they were:

Close #2 (Done)

Bend yellow nail (Done) can also bend blue nail

Bend Horseshoe (Incomplete) can only bend filed horseshoe

Close small red ponyclamp (Done) with one thumb of course

Lift 45hex to full lockout (Incomplete)

*note: this list does not contain bodyweight grip goals, such as rafter chins or climbing stuff.

For most people closing the #2 means the start of the "Quest for the #3", but for me it marks the end of my serious crush training. I like training for climbing, and once I officially win the race to the #2 I will drop crush training and get back to climbing hard.

Hand was sore, but I had to show my #2.5 closing friend that I am closing the #2.

Hand:

5X1 penny bend in pliars

5X1 #2 close almost CCS

1X1 #2 close (friends #2)

1X1 #2 close inverted left hand // set

3X1 60D hot galvanized (DU)

2X200 extensors in sand bucket

1X11 #1 CCS (RH)

1X5 #1 CCS (RH)

5X1 #1 No Set

3X1 #1 No set inverted (LH)

1X2 #1 No Set inverted (LH)

2X3 #1 CCS

2X5 #1 CCS (LH)

5X1 #2 attempt 1/8" (LH)

1X5sec hang from 1/2" ledge mid/ring (open hand)

2X5sec black store gripper held close with pinky no aid of thumb

Abs:

1X150 slow legs raised head to knees situps

1X300 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 V-ups

1X3:00 hollow hold

3X300 russian twist

Handstand:

1X5sec wide arm handstand

1X8sec wide arm handstand

1X12sec DEEP wide arm handstand

Iron Cross:

2X5sec Iron Cross touch with extra 25lbs

1X9 Iron cross touch pullout

4X2 Iron cross touch pullout

2X20sec iron cross touch then pullout

Toe:

1X1:00 toe stand

4X10ft toe walks

toe dancing

general running around on toes

Good gripping. Solidly closing both #2's and managed a successful attempt on my #2 left handed inverted. Still an 1/8" to go regular style though. Bending pennies in the pliars was really fun and a hard grip exercise. I was going to work extensors, but didn't finish. I also did some stretching. A couple of my "tricks" are actually gymnastics skills that are worth a fair amount of points.

One arm elbow lever 1/2 turn press to handstand.............C

One arm handstand........................................................B

Jump to handstand (Dive on the ground)...........................B

Arabian jump to handstand..............................................C

Wide arm handstand........................................................B

I already knew about the wide arm handstand, but the arabian jump to handstand is music to my ears. I have been practicing jumping off things on my hands and landing in a handstand and a halfturn jump to handstand is not that difficult for me. The skill is also a C which means it is worth more than an Iron Cross on rings :shifty

Two hours of gymnastics.

Really sore. Still working on my strength skills. P-bars is becoming my good event :upsidedwn.

Back:

2X2:00 arch hold

Leg scissor:

2X30sec legscissor as hard as possible

I am now determined to work my back muscles WAY more so I can help my planche out. I am debating on whether or not to train back every day.

Had my birthday dinner tonight, birthday tomorrow, so I skipped the rest of my abs. Armwrestling club gained new members, and we took photos.

Abs:

1X150 slow legs raised head to knees situps

Back:

2X75 reverse leg raises

Hand:

5X50 extensors 6 bands

1X100 extensors 4 bands

5X200 extensors 3 bands

1X1:00 extensor hold 6 bands

Armwrestling:

1 hour of practice at school. Then beat my #2.5 closing friend right handed street style in a ~7min match. Left handed went undefeated.

I am very happy that our armwrestling club is gaining popularity. I think the guys thought that just because I am not huge and swollen that they would blow through me, but nobody other than my #2.5 closing friend was very much of a challenge. I hope we get some stronger people soon, but I am just stoked that we are gaining popularity and members.

Birthday tomorrow, which means I get a birthday trick at gymnastics. I am debating over a few things.

1X3 #1 CCS

4X1 #1 CCS

3X1 #2 close (RH)

many #2 attempts to 1/8" (LH)

Good day at the gym, the girls made me a card and everyone sung happy birthday. I wanted to walk 100' on my hands, but I was way too tired so I went the easy route and did a 10sec back lever. Next year I hope (like I hoped last year) that I can bust a straddle planche.

Felt really lethargic and fell asleep in class. I was trying to stay awake, but my eyes were just too heavy and I caught some Z's. Still felt like crap when I got home and started my workout, but for some reason it was a good one.

NOTE: ALL previous mentions of "60D hot galvanized" were Timber Ties, I was misinformed.

Hand:

2XTT DU all the way

1X1 60D BRIGHT COMMON DU ALL THE WAY

1X1 60D hot galvanized (not TT, & harder than bright common) DU flip DO

1X1 finger lever pushup

Planche:

5X1.5sec straddle planche

5X5sec straddle planche attempt

6X15sec advanced tuck planche

2X45sec ball planche

Abs:

1X150 slow legs raised head to knees situps

1X300 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 V-ups

1X3:00 hollow hold

3X300 russian twists

Back:

1X100 reverse leg lifts

STOKED to have bent the 60D's. Bending a 60D bright common has been my goal for a while now and I finally owned it, and DU all the way no less. As a bonus I also took down the 60D hot galvanized (not TT), but it was considerably harder than the 60D bright common and I had to flip it to DO.

My apologies that I have been mistakenly listing "60D hot galvanized" instead of TT this whole time. From now on 60D hot galvanized means what it says.

Handstand:

1X80' handstand walk, damn lost balance wanted 100' (at gym)

Gym really sucked. Last week practices were awesome and I was hitting my skills and then today it was just crap. Meet on friday. Almost made 100' again, but as I was turning the second corner on the floor (40' X 40') I fell.

Really suprised to close the #2 I gave it an attempt before I went to gym and it was ~1/4", and then when I got back I closed it HARD and felt the handles smash together, I ground them against each other to see if it was really closed and sure enough they were grinding.

Pretty decent day. Wrists still sore from bending the 60D's, but I'm still hyped about it so the wrists can stay sore :cool.

Hand:

10X1 #2 close, wider than // set hold 3 sec then close & hold (RH)

Many left hand attempts inverted and normal 1/8"

1X1 #2 negative opened to 1/32" and fought all the way out (LH)

1X5 handstand pushups

Pushups:

2X15 diamond pushups

2X25 slow pushups

Chins:

2X15 slow chins

Abs:

1X150 slow legs raised head to knees situps

1X300 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 legs raised elbows across knees situps

1X250 V-ups

1X3:00 hollow hold

3X300 russian twists

Armwrestling:

armwrestling practice for an hour after school. Beat #2.5 closing friend after much trash talking :yikes. He got me the second match though, but I was deadly serious on winning the third, but we ran out of time and my ride had to go so it was 1-1.

Pretty much everything was just conditioning, nothing except the diamond handstand pushups and the #2 stuff is even close to my max. I have started to hold after the set. For instance, set the gripper then hold it there 3secs then mash it closed and hold it closed. This way the amount of set I use is clear.

I also closed my friends new #2 (good knurling if anyone is curious), it appears to be slightly easier than mine with a smaller spread. So I can close all three #2's that are in the system.

My friend lifted it to full lockout for three seconds today (feb 1) while it was snowing.

Gymnastics meet yesterday.....fell on every tumbling pass in my floor routine, pinged off the rings (1st time ever), fell on pommels, competed a dumbed down P-bars, stuck vault.

On floor I hit a good 5sec DEEP wide arm handstand. On rings a good 5sec pull to straddle lever (applause from crowd) then pullout and 6sec or so back lever to pullout.

1X3sec straddle planche :cool

Today so far:

2hrs of gymnastics

including:

Iron Cross work

95ft handstand walk

2sec straddle planche :cool

handstand walking uphill and other handstand walking stuff

Also did a dip with my 115lb friend hanging from my legs, it was a very solid dip good for 3+ reps.

came home from the gym today and......

STRADDLE PLANCHE 1X3secs

before I just had people's word that "yeah thats a planche bro", but today I got a pic of it and sure enough excellent form!!

Hand:

5X1 #2 close almost CCS (RH) 1 of the sets held for 3secs before close

3X3 #1 CCS

3X1 #1 no set

many #2 attempts left

Handstand:

3X5 handstand pushups

Planche:

2X1.5sec straddle planche

1X3sec straddle planche with picture

STOKED....PSYCHED....HELL YES....STRADDLE PLANCHE!!!

I made a vow many, many years ago that I would not shave until I nailed a straddle planche (and had a picture as evidence), and now at 17yrs old with a 2" long never shaved beard I can finally cut that crap off.

Before this recent success my planche strength dropped dramatically and I felt like I would never get there, but persistance (and probably the reverse leg raises) pulled me through. I'm so elated right now I cannot even describe it. I can do a skill that I once viewed as larger than life and impossible.

I used to be a scooterer, I loved to just go scooter around gapping stuff and grinding stuff ect. My friend and I decided to go skate (scooter for me), and we had a killer time. I am still pretty much as good as I was, just need to get consistant with my tricks again.

Some punk jocks drove up and started talking trash about my mullet and my scooter, I was ready to throw down. My friend mooned them and they drove away, so I didn't get to beat any football player butt. It would have been 3 on 2, but I just hate when peeps start talking stuff and I was looking for a fight.

No abs due to scootering until late at night.

Pull/chinups:

1X30 chins

1X30 pullups

1X15 slow Mr T chins

Way to drive off punks, 3 on 2 is not good enough odds for you?

Three hours of gymnastics.

Handstand:

1X6 handstand pushups

1X5 handstand pushups

1X4 handstand pushups

Hand:

2X10 Trainer

2X5 Trainer

3X1 #2 almost CCS (RH)

many #2 attempts, I think 2 were closed, but I list as attempts (LH)

Pinched the 45hex a bit, but after grippers I was pretty tired

Closing the #2 with authority on my right hand. I was amazed at my first attempt with my left hand. Usually it just ceases all movement at ~1/8" but this time it just moved easily through it, so I think my first two attempts were closed, but I couldn't feel the handles touching and I had no one to tell me if they were closed so I'm listing them as almost closed.

You must have some killer abs.

Why is it that when people train abs, it's always huge volume and not with weight resistance? I mean, I always see people doing stuff like you're doing... 100, 200, 300 and several sets... Why not a couple of sets of 5-10 reps, with a lot of resistance? It surely would require much less time to perform I bet. You'd need a machine or something though.

Volume helps when you have to keep your abs contracted for long periods of time, or use them often. A good routine could include both weighted resistance and more volume oriented stuff.

Leg: broad jumps started toe behind the line then measured at the heel

25 X 7' standing broad jump (all jumps were ~6" over 7' mark)

1X20 squats

Going climbing on real rock again this weekend, so I didn't train arms (they are sore anyway). I thought my standing broad jumps were good....then I see that Wes posted jumps of 8'3" and 2X25 @ 7'.......:bow.

Nearing my 17th birthday.....I want to close #2 before I turn 17. I think my #2 is pretty much a good average #2, It felt the exact same as two other #2's and a little harder than a third one.

Hehe, you gotta remember I'm like six and a half feet tall, you are smoking me really :laugh Good looking stuff here, way to be a man and keep da' mullet!

Lifesnotfair: Unseenbeat is right, I train in such volume because in my sport I need my abs to have excellent endurance. Certain exercises such as Dragon Flags would be a positive addition to the routine, but I can't really find the time to add them. Believe me my abs are plenty strong, and as I've stated before in my log, never get sore.

Wes: :D

Feb 8, 2007

Wide arm handstand:

3X8sec deep

Iron Cross:

Trained the iron cross a bit on my new rings that allow full range of motion hence the "iron cross touch" formerly listed in my log. Now with my new rings I can train the whole cross.

Rock lifting:

3X1 Cleaned 127lb rock (warmup)

2X1 STRICT PRESS 127lb rock

Just fooled around because I have a gymnastics meet tomorrow. I finally hit the rock for a strict press, but my #2.5 closing friend hit it for three reps this time where last time he could only manage one, I just can't keep up with this guy! I'm about to start training handstand pushups again instead of planches so that I can trash him at overhead pressing!

Gymnastics meet:

6th Pommels

3rd Rings

4th Vault

1st Parallel Bars

I was feeling sick all meet and was making mistakes in my other events that were going to cost me. I was just in general not feeling to hype about this meet. I just felt weak and drained the whole night. I debated about skipping P-bars, but decided just to go ahead and do it. I hit the best P-bars routine of my life and it paid off for me and I left the meet feeling great.

Some chicks came up to me at the meet and said, "We like your muscles" :yikes and pretty much followed me around all night cheering me on and such. Yep gymnasts get all da ladies :cool.
