Mike Betty Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Could not get head into training on the heavy weights tonight so did some 2hp and v-bar. 2hp worked up to a 6kg PB on a thinner setting of 44mm i think it was 77.3/4kg i'm getting there. V-bar worked up to 105 kg left and 115kg right total 225kg Quite happy as a starting point have not really tried v-bar before so figners crossed should inprove fast.

David Horne Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Mike, Good to see you onboard the good ship 'grip'. Well you have Nick and Steve at the gym to help you out, so I'd expect a quick increase in poundages. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Nick has all of our strongmen training grip once a week. They pick one movement out of three or so and then give it some stick. Dunkster trains it more and is working percentages. We have the gym lifts listed and no one is allowed, for example in the pinch, to be listed unless then do at least 70-kilos / 154 lbs on the Euro set. I've said I'd like all our guys to pull at least 140-kilos on the v-bar and may make that the minimum for listing on the wall.
