Teemu I Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Can someone critique my workout? All right, my views..I think what you are doing is a good way to make progress, but still I suggest that you get some Beef Builders like Elite and Super Elite to work with. Yes, you can get away with #4 and guts but adding those grippers in between would keep things more interesting for you. I know it motivates me more to see the handles touching or nearly touching when I'm able to do just regular attempts on a gripper like Elite, I do feel it's more rewarding that way. I never got/get so excited and motivated about beeing able to keep #4 closed while doing cheated closures with it with the help of extended handle. So what I'm saying is that you might also be even more motivated if you get those grippers in between, because it's easier to evaluate your progress that way. I personally found it hard to estimate where I stand when all I had was #3 and #4 and just a lot of space in between and it was hard to judge whether I was making progress with those cheated closures or not. I also suggest that you gradually file down your #3 if you allready haven't done so. So these are my experiences about things that have helped me to make progress, they are mostly motivational, but helped me to "see" beyond #3 and just wanted to share them seeing that you are on the same level as I am right now. Whatever you decide to do, work hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you decide to do, work hard! I was thinking of getting a New #4 and leave it unseasoned - maybe file it down. I can't purchase a Bridge gripper, because my account isn't recognized by any overseas affiliates. I would be honoured if someone is willing to trade me a bridge gripper, though.

Timmy Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Today, stuffed around with a few things. I got the #3 to 1/8" with a CCS, and 1/4" with a no-set. I placed a Hoseclamp on the spring of my #3, and wound it tightly: missed a couple attempts - managed to get 4 singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ok, lets hit some negs! Warmup: As per se #4: Regular, full-sweep, and braced, of course. Set and Brace: 1 x 3 ( Get the hang of it) Negatives: I will give 5 of my best attempts: I won't do 60, because I want these 5 attempts done with maximal effort - and with 5 second pauses! - Have a rest period Now I'll try some assisted ranges in both choke and set. - Thickbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Finally, my hands were performing on task Grippers: Warmup - a few plate snatches, messing around with the #3 Workout - I did some forced sweeps with the #4; then proceeded with 5 Severe, Heavy Negs; 5 assisted reps in set position - OUCH! Choked it down to parallell and performed 6 assisted reps for 4 sets. I might do some cardiovascular work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
