Chrisx9118 Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Didnt do specific grip training today but i did test out my hook grip a bit to make sure it was strong enough for my deads. This was my first time using a hook grip with heavy weight so i wasnt sure how it would feel. Rack Lockouts - DO Hook Grip - 5 second hold at top 225x1 315x1 455x1 545x1 - Nice. Well at least i know that my hook grip is strong enough for my deadlift singles. Felt really solid, thumbs were hurting at first, but if you can get through the pain, the grip wont give out.

Good to see a log over here Chris. Nice lockouts. Hook grip is a very solid way to pull your deads. feels more natural and puts less stress is on the obliques!

I opened up my new #3 and it felt real good. Nice and smooth, real tough on the last portion. I am aware that is it unseasoned and such but it felt almost the same as my current #3, maybe even a bit easier. I am going to do a 3 week grip routine and close both of my #3's for good. It will begin monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisx9118 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 December 5th, 2006 Sledgehammer Levering Lever to Shoulder - Very strict - Arm on surface - 16lb Sledgehammer - 31" handle Note: Decided to start doing my levering to my shoulder instead of my nose as this increases the range and makes it much more difficult hence the weaker lifts. Right hand 25" down handle(To nose) x 1 rep 22.5"(To nose) x 1 rep 20" x Missed. Damn. 20" x 1 rep 20" x 1 rep 20" x 1 rep Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative 15" x 5 reps Left hand 20" down handle(To nose) x 0 - Almost. 17.5" x 0 15" x 1 rep 15" x 1 rep 15" x 1 rep 15" x 1 rep Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative Bottom(27") x Negative 10" x 5 reps Note: I really like doing this exercise to the shoulder for increased range of motion but it makes it oh so much more difficult, my goal for reaching the bottom of the handle takes another hit... but it will be that much more impressive when i do reach it =) Rear Levering - 8lb Sledge - Bend only the Wrist - Very strict Both hands 20" x 10 reps 20" x 10 reps 25" x 4 reps Note: Good stuff.

Chris' best #3 attempt http://media.putfile.com/CoC-3-Attempt pause it at closure and you'll see what i mean. Could be the low resolution of the vid though.

Chris' best #3 attempt http://media.putfile.com/CoC-3-Attempt pause it at closure and you'll see what i mean. Could be the low resolution of the vid though. Yea it looked closed or very close to it, but i know it was not closed. That was probably the closest i have ever been on it, and that was a while ago.... all that choker work with no MMS work really brought me back a bit.
