oldschoollion Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 i had a bad start into grip. did a lot of things wrong, and took a break to learn how to start out the right way. it took a bit of my strength,but it also has made the sound in my wrist go away for the bb wrist curl. this time i wil be following david horne's beginner routine from the faq section at the start untill i achieve a more respectable strength level. it will start out twice a week, tuesdays and fridays, the days following my 'rest of body training'. TUESDAY 8-8-06 1. 2 hand pinch 3x50lbx15 sec. no gloves. weight kept sliding through with them and the weight does not bother my skin 2. finger curls bb1x20x45,50,55 with hold 3. wrist curls bb 1x15x45,50,45 4. reverse wrist curls bb 3x15x26.5 my forearms felt like a peice of wood at the curls and for a while after the routine. thanks david. (they do feel fine now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoollion Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 THURSDAY 8-31-06 1. pinch 3x15secx50 2. finger curls qx20x51-56-61 3. wrist curl 1x20x45-50-55 4. reverse wrist curl 1x20x26.5-31.5-36.5 my grip has been getting fried at work, so i'm happy with this. i barely held for the 15 in the pinch, but the curls felt good and the first 2 can stand to go up. will see if i can go back to 2 a week next week. the long weekend should help with recovering. i have noticed that my grip has increased as far as how i use it in my job since i seem to be able to do things a little easier, or actually being able to do without help, than i have in the past .

John Eaton Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Great work Amy , keep it up! My 12 year old daughter trains grip. I have videoed her closing an Ironmind Trainer. She has surpised a lot of the men with her gripper work. Here is a link to her video. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...si&img=4744 John Eaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoollion Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 i have, but i put i am putting it aside for a while. i bought the kta out of curiosity and it opened my eyes to the fact that i need to make sure i have a higher level of overall strength before picking the da bck up again, at least for training level settings. i pick it up on the lowest setting here and there just to close it. i think i will bring it back in full time sometime around jan.. i miss using it as often as i did, but first things first.
