Timmy Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Cert on the #4 dude! You can do it! Train some more!! I don't think so, my hands are only 7", so I don't think my hands would negotiate the spread of a #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Ahhh, my whole upper body has taken a beating. I was doing benches yesterday, when I could complete the last rep on the last set, so I was in the predictament of 230lbs laying on my chest. Anyway, I managed to continue and complete my dips workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Ha, that'll teach you to bench without a spotter! Who needs benching anyway! Weighted dips and pressing are KING! Edited August 10, 2006 by Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdoire Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Cert on the #4 dude! You can do it! Train some more!! I don't think so, my hands are only 7", so I don't think my hands would negotiate the spread of a #4. If your hands can negotiate the 1 than it can negotiate the 4. The difference is hand strength not size. If the one is 2 3/4 and the 4 is 2 3/4 then it is purely a matter of hand strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) And if you can no set close #3 then what stops you? Edited August 10, 2006 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oh, crap, just had a blood test yesterday, and for a minute, I thought I was going to blackout! Anyway, yesterday is yesterday, and it's time to get back into training: I'll hit the grippers; do a shuttle run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 God! My hands failed on my gripper workout. I basically was rinsing them in water, causing my hands to go soft and the knurling did the rest - OUCH! I was trying to get a 2 finger close on camera today, except they were still too sore. Ok, my workout consisted of upper-body strength. OHP: 2 x 5 ( 140lb)...... Should increase it next time 2 x 3 ( 160).... The same Rows: 3 x 6 ( 160) Chins: 4 x 6 (50).. Increase on next workout High Pulls: 3 x 5 ( 120). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teemu I Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I also did some Credit Card width closes on my #3. Were those succesful and did you actually use the card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I also did some Credit Card width closes on my #3. Were those succesful and did you actually use the card? They were successful, but I didnt use a cc, I basically used a very shallow set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I do recommend that you actually use that card to measure and do it really slowly, because that makes it harder and that prepares you for the cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsceneJester Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I also did some Credit Card width closes on my #3. You need to make sure, you are a big inspiration but we both have 7 inch hands and it gives me hope that I myself could do it with my hand size if you can.. Keep it up I'm keeping progress with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Stuff it! I haven't gotten anywhere with my bench routine. I will go hunting for one that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
