nockowt1 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 8/1 Plate Pinch -6 10s x 5 (assisted lifts) -5 10s x 10 -2 25s, 2 5s, loading pin Grippers -#2x5 (parallel set) -#2.5x2 (parallel set) Bending -blue nail x 5 (du) -1/4"x5" grade 5 x 3 (du) Card Tearing -56 cards x 2 This was a great workout. I suprised myself by still being able to close the #2.5. I was also suprised by my card tearing ability. I was able to tear the decks like they were nothing. I've set a new pinch goal: 6 10s in 6 months. I originally tricked myself into believing I could do it in a month. I've now come to my senses and think 6 months will be enough time to do it.

odin Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've set a new pinch goal: 6 10s in 6 months. I originally tricked myself into believing I could do it in a month. I've now come to my senses and think 6 months will be enough time to do it. Kevin, Nice work on the grippers, pinching and card tearing. Six 10s is a bold goal, it makes me question my sanity sometimes as well. Six months sounds like a good time frame. I'm thinking it might take 7.5 to 12.5 lbs. attached to six 10s held together with tape or a pipe before they can be lifted without a pipe. Make sure you find some plates that fit well together for the 3 25s pinch next time you work on it. The first time I tried it was with a bigger hammertone plate that stuck up about 1/2 inch from the other two and it felt close to going up but I got it my first workout with three matching 25s.

The more I train for lifting 6-10s the more I realize why there are so few people who have done and who want to do it. The strength it takes is ridiculous. If (when) I finally do it I will consider myself as having a strong grip (I don't think it strong yet). The 25s I have completely suck because the paint is really slippery and there is a huge size difference when all 3 are put together. hope you get those 6 10s that would be sick!!! I really hope so too. I think the guy that posted above you will be next on the list though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Just watched the video on YouTube that you titled the 1/4"X7" Square bend. I think you got the wrong video buddy! I want to see that monumental bend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see that monumental bend! Yeah I just noticed that I posted the 7/16"x7" brass bend instead of the square. I'm uploading the right video now.

nockowt1 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've done a few bending workouts in the last couple of days. Yesterday I bent a 5.5" grade 8 to 30 degrees DU. I'm hoping that I can bend one to 40 degrees in a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nockowt1 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 8/29 Plate Pinch -5 10 x 10 (thumb, index, middle, and ring) Grippers -#2x5 -#2.5x2 Bending -1/4x5" g5 to 2 1/4" (IM pads) -1/4"x5.5" g8 to 35 degrees I'm hoping to lift 5 10s with index, middle, and thumb in the next couple of weeks. My bending could have been better today. I wanted to move up on David Horne's list for bending in IM pads and the bolt froze at 2 1/4". I got it to that point in less than 30 seconds and couldn't move it any further. I really thought I had the g8, but I was 5 degrees short. I'll bend one in less than 2 weeks.
