acorn Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Stuff it! I haven't gotten anywhere with my bench routine. I will go hunting for one that works. Timmy, you could try mine. Details are in my training log page 2 or 3. I've had good success with it. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Today had to be the most grinding workout - EVER!!!!!! I decided to do strap holds on the #3, and worked up to 35lbs! I proceeded to rest my hands for my #4 workout........ #4: Full sweep negs Set and force closed against my wrist: 3, 5, 5, 5 This part almost destroyed my hands! Choked then forced against wrist: 10, 7, 10, ...... As I was about to give up, I decided to go to failure on slow reps - for 3. The last reps took me 10 seconds to complete! My forearms felt like a rock, and my hands were swollen. Edited August 23, 2006 by Timmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Today had to be the most grinding workout - EVER!!!!!!I decided to do strap holds on the #3, and worked up to 35lbs! What are you using for a strap? Set and force closed against my wrist: 3, 5, 5, 5 When you record this, is it 4 total reps and the numbers are seconds, or is it 4 sets and the numbers are reps? You're looking strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Ahhhhhh......... Trying to do 3 finger reps on my #3, then all of a suddenly, the bottom of the handle rips skin off my palm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck, that sucks. Did you have a blister that tore, or a callus? Or can the force of a #3 just do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have just contacted IM, so I should be doing my IM cert in the future - and hopefully - I will be the 3rd cert this year! Good luck, Timmy! Hopefully you followed Teemu's experience and can head a few issues off at the pass. With PRs on the 3 like 10 reps and a NS close, I think you'll be doing well!

Timmy Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) I was messing around with the Elite and #3. I did a warm-up with 3 reps on the #3, then grabbed the Elite, and missed it by 1/4". I rested and gave the Elite another ride, and felt clanked the handles together. I will get a video on thursday for the list in Records and Stats. Edited September 5, 2006 by Timmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ahhh, one of my worst days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I was stretching, THEN RIP!!!, my left shoulder was in agonising pain - even setting a gripper was too painful. When I felt the area, it seems like the muscle has been stripped from the bone. This might take a while to heal........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
