barbe705 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 since I got home early and got the grippers and sledge work out of the way i thought I'd do some bending. DU rail tie 60d mutant 60d easy grade 5. my very last one. DO rail tie 60d 3/8x6 grade 2 bolt. really neat bend. it feels like it's going to hold and then it just melts. I might rest a minute and give a bastard a go. I also need to get some new wraps. these new ones just aren't breaking in. and I gave my good ones to my wife.

With those backloads, is that 140 with an extra 35lbs that makes 175 or what? Do you only add weight to the back from a certain point?

jad Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 What class are you doing at Gripmas? I thought you were about 230 or so but wasn't sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 When I start backloading I leave a 25 on each side and just start adding weight to the back side. so, 175 would be the 2x45 in the middle, 25 on each side, and an additional 35 on the back. so 25 on the front and 60 on the back. Jad, After a bunch on injuries this summer that kept me out of training I got up to 245. But, since I have 2 pretty herniated discs I'm trying to lose some weight or at least lean up. right now I'm weighing in at 230-240 depending on the scale I use. I doubt I'll make the light weight class at gripmas. I do need to get a lot trimmer for my back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Do the wrist curls over the knees. Haha, you'll have Jedd and Andrew to go up against you as well. Andrew told me before he knew of my comp about a sternum pullup with an extra 100lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 the wrist curls over the knees still don't feel right for me. I might try a preacher curl bench. Andrew is a freak but I'd like to see the 100# added sternum pullup before I believe it. I'd also have to ask what he weighted at the point, etc, etc. If we go back far enough I did a set of 20 strict pull ups off of an I beam in the garage. That doesn't really have anything to do with what I can pull now. we'll see what happens. this is supposed to be a winter of weight loss for me. what has jedd done in the weight added pull up? I know he does a lot as part of his training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) I don't know what Jedd has done but Andrew said the +100 pullup was done in recent years at an exp or something of the sort. I do know that Jedd was as close on ring muscle ups at Gripmas '07 as I was. That has to say something for his pullup strength... or it could mean nothing.

All you have to do is start from a dead stop. Basically, just lock out your arms before you start pulling and then go up. It only needs to be held for sub-1 second, just long enough for me to see your starting from a stop. After that though, swing, twist, windshield wiper, front lever, back lever, OAC, OAP, hump, gyrate, do a little dance and make a little love to get up there. All I want is a start from a dead stop.

barbe705 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 they're the same 35's I had at GGC. so, yes, they're thick. I don't know what they measure at though. they have that slick paint I used for a couple fo things and they don't have any chalk on them. once they get a little chalky I expect the numbers to go up fast.
