bencrush Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Whew! That #2.5 is a freaking doozy. You're capable of closing some easy (@145lb) #3s right now. I know the difference is about 10lbs, but like Jason Payne found out, closing the wider #2.5s is as hard as closing a 2.75" easy #3. Great job man! I'm going to put you on the spot. Where's the bending? I thought you were going to use that program I sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Steve...I just read the last several pages of your log here and it is a superb record of full body progress. Excellent total body strength for someone 167 lbs. Very good pinching strength and from what I read here, I don't think it will be long before you achieve a full DL of the Blob50 which is awesome for someone with your hand size ! I like all the farmer's walks and that's something I have to start doing as well. In my journal a few months ago you mentioned that you might get Lifeline Tubing. Did you ever get some? I'd like to compare it to my Gold's Gym stuff from Walmart. (I combine tubing from several of their short series expander to make one useful for men) Going back to school is a decision you won't regret. Which local college are you going to ? Stay strong .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay strong .. neilkaz .. My main goal right now is to get 500 lbs on the Deadlift , but im guessing its gonna be a while before that happens Thanks Neil, THe Farmers is a great workout id suggest doing atleast one session per week with the Farmers havent gotten the tubing yet but im definately planning on it, ive seen the Golds Gym tubing at Walmart yesterday actually thought about getting it but I think im gonna go with the lifeline tubing actually.. Right now signed up at Harper College, gonna finish my degree in Architechtural Engineering stay strong and best of luck in your training also Neil!
