barbe705 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 I think it's a combo of the fact that: I had only been doing choked grippers for several months so my set is off. I had done some heavy blocks the night before and then grippers the night before. If I don't rain grip almost every day I lose any callusses over night. so, my hands were really ripped up. I think my next gripper workout will be much better. friday 12.18.08wrist curls on the cc 3x5 30# 3x5 eaton style 30# need to take the weight a lot higher on these. wrist rotations 3x5 club +5 mms grippers 10x1 bbsm. my hands were very raw from the night before. 3x5 RP IMTUG #6 Are your index and middle fingers lame? 5 reps RP with a #6 should have you grinding a SM into dust.

barbe705 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 12.28.08 sunday front levers 5x5 5#. time to move the weight up rear levers 5x5 10# 2x5 12# They ere all supposed to be 12#. I grabbed the wrong hammer. i thought I had gotten a lot stronger. all sets were strict. Right now I'm sacraficing weight in favor of form. rotations 3x5 5#. Need to get some 1.25 plates to move the weight up. RT touch and go stes 3x12 90#. need more weight next time. 45# hub holds for time. The hubs I bought are not as good as I thought upon closer inspection. the ribs are pretty wide and they keep me from getting an optimal finger placement. but, maybe that will help in a comp type situation.

John Eaton Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 12.31.08 grippers 5x1 BBSM. I can't believe this is still the best i can do even when I'm fresh. I need to do a lot of work on my set and sweep. I think I'll take my filed #2 to work and hit it through the day TNS. Try doing some overcrush holds for time throughout the day with that filed #2. You may be pleasantly surprised after a week or so, when you try a max gripper. climber curls 3x10 40# eaton style 3x10 40# need to increase the weight on the eaton style. Brent, if you're using 40lbs for the normal curls. Then 55 to 60lbs will work well for my style, or you can do my style at the end of the workout and 40 will be fine.

barbe705 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've never really done wrist curls. The first time I did the climber curl I did 3x10 normal and then 3x10 eaton style. I was sore for over a week. So, I'm still getting a feel for what I need to do. Right now with 3 sets or normal I think that the eaton style need to be 10-20 pounds heavier. I'll need to play around a little and see what works for me. Also, this morning I did the polar bear club swimming thing. I jumped into the Mon at 9:30 this morning. air temp was 18. not sure about water temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 sunday 1.4.09 front levers. 5x5 7.5 pounds. brutal huge jump in weight from 5. need to go to the store and get more 1.25 plates. maybe some washers. rear levers 5x5 12# hammer. these felt very strong. tried to pause and fight it down. I think I could go up in weight but, I don't want to start swinging again. I think I'll just go to the end of the month with these using a pause. roataions on club with 6.25# 3x5. pretty rough. I'll be at this weight for a couple of weeks. RT 3x15 95# finished all three sets, time to up the weight again. 3 45# hub holds to failure. I need to tape some of these for the hub contest.

Sometimes it seems like not having any calusses hold me back. ripped 2 decks of cards. 1/4'd one and took the other into thirds horizontally. The horizontal tears were murder.

barbe705 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 saturday the 17th of jan 09 I missed this on friday because of a frozen pipe. and it was cold enough to freeze pipes in the basement. block weights 45#x1 45#+5x3 45#+10x1 45#+5x3 45# 5x1 RP only TTK key pinch 7.5# 3x10 MMS grippers 10x1 BBSM. can get a couple of reps on a harder gripper but, me set is soooo far off of my ability to close. 5x1 power sets RB300 notes on my workout plan right now. I like the high volume RT work. it seems to be helping. next sequence I think I'll apply it to 2" vbar. Pinch once a week and just a little on a second day is not enough. my block weights are slipping and I hate to think about what's happening to my 2hp. the TTK is hard to use. if you aren't super strict it becomes more about flexing your hand than working the thumb. frustrating. I think that the key pinch allows me to hit the thumb a little bit better, it still requires a lot of concentration. I added a set of plates hulas with a block weight at the end(37.5#). I think that the thumb gets hit pretty hard on the block weight day. I will add the plate hulas to my wrist/support day. the timed holds on the 45's are hard but, I don't think they're giving me enough stimulation on that day. I'll add the hula after them. I think it's a combo of the weight being to heavy for the quality of the hubs. if the hubs were better i think that the holds at that weight would be ideal. with those adjustments I'll stick with this until the end of the month. Feb will bring new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to start adding tns work and power sets to my third grip day. power sets? I think that's what I've scene them called. I think Teemu started the idea. you set a gripper way bigger than you can handle. for the setting practice. and it makes you focus on the set not the close.
