lifesnotfair Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What can you do MMS on that #4. I asked him that not too long ago, I think he said 3/8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unseenbeat Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I asked him that not too long ago, I think he said 3/8". Ya, he got abotu 1/2" after doing all those vids, so about 3/8" is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks Geo, and 3/8th's is about right. I'll try it after a few more workouts and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Had a frig-all awesome workout today. Warmed up with a borrowed #2 (Prob 10 TNS's either hand), switched to the double filed #3, did probably 5 paralell reps, also warmup. Then some wide set closes as well with the 3. Then hit Josh Dale's MM1 dud for probably 10 singles, all MMS. And here's the kicker, I was planning on ending the workout, but decided to give the 4 a squeeze. GOT IT TO 1/4'' WITH A MMS!!!

pdfk20 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wes if you had gone for the no.4 before you did all those MM1 singles you might of gotten it closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wes, what can you do left handed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks guys, Pete, I don't know if I would have gotten any closer really, that last bit is crazy hard. And lifesnotfair, I can close a filed #3 with a MMS left hand on a good day, so it doesn't do much with a 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Did the MM1 today, it got killed. First close was wider than paralell, second was TNS which I wasn't sure, but Tim thought it was, and the third was around or slightly less than CCS. Afterward I did 8 reps, closed it with 2 fingers (deep set) and did a 15lb straphold for time. (I tried a 25 first, and got it off the ground, but it slipped out, so I switched to 15 for the vid.) Everything but the actual cert and straphold is in the gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTCH Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The mashmonsters cert grippers are not different. Everyone closes the same MM1 grippers, MM2 gripper and so on. That what makes the cert proces special, because everyone gets a chance on the same grippers, from US to germany.. etc.. And if there were different grippers a certification wouldn't make any sense.

Wes Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Thanks everyone! Josh's MM1 dud is way, way harder than than than the real thing. If you can close a #3 with authority, then you should sign up for the MM1. Edited November 5, 2006 by Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm going to start training to lift my old style original york 50lb blob, and I'm setting a goal to lift it in 30 days, kind of a challenge. 11-6-06 Approx 20 negs on the blob B/H (deadlift with other hand helping, and then let go with other hand), best effort was 4 second hold with no assistance from other hand.

DuTCH Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Add weight to the blob when you do negatives. This way when you try to lift the blob it will feel lighter. I did this, and got the blob within a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
