TomY Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi all, quick intro. My name is Thomas Youles, im 15 and from the UK. Got into grippers ect in February. Im shooting for the #3 first, then above. I got a little bending pack yesterday (thanks max) and bent a 6" G5 which took me a while, i bent it to 90 degrees had some trouble from their, but i got it down to 2". I can almost close my SM, pinch 5 11's and 2 33's. Im looking foward to this journey, and thanks to all of those who gave me advice.

TomY Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Back to business! The pain is absoulutly gone, and it has been for a couple of days. I wanna go back on the routine Greg Amidon constructed, but adjust it. Instead of doing a set number of endless reps which was useless, im going to have a set number of sets which is 5. First 3 sets will be parallel reps then the last 2, babyreps. Trainer RH 1st set: 100 2nd set: 80 3rd set: 65 4th set: 90 5th set: 120 (absoulute failure) Trainer LH 1st set: 60 2nd set: 50 3rd set: 40 4th set: 60 5th set: 80 Hands are gonner be sore by the end of the week! --And dont forget the contrast bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
