Jedd Johnson Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 With the Crom spring, the levels start at 6 and then the loading scheme is the same from there. One up in the back is 7, one up in the front and back down in the back is 8, one up on the back and front is level 9, etc. You're welcome. Glad to make them available for more people here.

Jedd I wish I had written down what the heck I was set at now. I think I have notes. for right now that thing is a special challenge. no knurling and so wide. when I was block set repping I let one get a little wide and it shot out of my hand. I haven't even heard of someone doing that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 11/14/11 warm up vulcan level 9 20mm block 3x3. click. had some more but, not too much. 2hp 62mm 8x3 155# 40# hex 5x5 gloved hula with 31# swagger disc 3xfail ext lifts with 10 sec hold after all block sets and hula sets. wish I had a 42.5# hex. the 45 is too mcuh but, I think I'm ready to move past the 40#. I think next time the first 2-3 sets will be the 45 then switch back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How do you do your extensor lifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I do extensor lifts a couple of ways. I have an old coffee can full of nails and I put my hand in the mouth and lift and hold. I have a narrower one that is more like a tube lift, same thing though. lift and hold. I do bands as well. open for reps, max, open and hold. hold open and rotate wrists. lately I've been doing the lift with hold and really feeling it. I think it's important to try and use a couple of different cans since it affects how open the hand is and hits it from different angles.

Jedd Johnson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 OK. Similar to what i do. I went after my extensor tub the other day after several months of consistent rubber band extensor work and it came up very easily. I was quite pleased.

barbe705 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think the tub you use has a much wider opening. or the sides go straight out from the opening, whatever. I know that when I've tried at your place that I couldn't budge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It is very wide. Getting the right sized tub is important. i would imagine having a variety would be good. I have another one, but I don;t use it. most of my work is with rubber bands or the green thing I put up on The Grip Authority once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 11/24/11 warm up mms 3x1 v2 3/4. have to look and see what this is as afr as levels. also, I remember a couple of guys cal'd the new crom springs. to give me an idea where I'm at. this was either level 10 or 13. 2hp 4x5 165#. getting heavy on these days. plan to go up 5# again next time. but, maybe not. I want to get in a max single day before gripmas so I know where to come in at. not sure I'll have time for both. 5x1 55# standard plates "block". need to add more weight. around the world 75# plate lots of ext lifts during 2hp, block, around worlds. lot's of high volume band sets after. trying to get my hand to straighten out while at rest.

barbe705 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 11/25/11 warm up RT 3x3 150. very hard crusher 2" 150# 5/3/2. very hard rev some stuff. super weak tonight. maybe from house work, maybe just off. the rev bending ended when I couldn't get a 6.5x1/4 ss round. after several minutes. so, had a crusher off with Mary Ann. whatever she pulled I pulled x10. i won but, I think if I had been pulling 12's it would have been a lot closer. so, next time.

barbe705 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 11/29/11 sinus infection is still mucking up training. 2hp test day. 210# 3x 1/2 way up. the best I have ever puller on my setup is 200# back in august. this morning something was wrong in my right palm, I was sick, and it was so cold downstairs I couldn't keep my hands warm. so, I think I've stopped the backsliding on my pinch and expect to be back at 230# or maybe a PR for gripmas.

barbe705 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 11/30/11 decided last night I would take it easy and stop training. I had planned to go this week and then only take a week off. last night it was colder in the basement and everything just felt like crap. I did some light wrist roller and some light vulcan. went through my warm up a second time in the middle and some easy block lifts. instead of my normal grip work I'll be doing soft tissue work, stretching, mobility, and some rehab work for the next week or so. get some blood flow and rest.

barbe705 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 12/16/11 missed on the MM1. first attempt I realized I wasn't warmed up at all. second attempt felt ok but, not sure it was a close. 3rd I screwed up the set and don't think I moved it. oh well, I deviated from my plan for the night and it showed. next time stick to the plan and no worries.
