vikingsrule92 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 HORSESHOES!!!! 3 Lite Rim to 140 degrees!!!!! 2 Lite Rim to 110 degrees!!!!! 1 Lite Rim to just BARELY short of 90!!!!, if I was fresh this would have gone to 100+ I'd stop most of the volume for the heavier shoes and work that crush. Part of it is just perserverance through pain. Don't use a pad, I made that mistake at first and paid the price. If you can get the Lites that far, you should be able to melt a DC through the kink and get to the crush fast enough that the steel is super hot and your not knackered. Get to finishing those damned DC's, then finish off the big shoes. I've only ever failed on 1 shoe after I kinked it, the KH SSP #3 and it was because I was being a puss and letting the bloody blister on my palms and the large red bruiese on top of my thigh stop me. Basically, go fast and it wont hurt. I expect to see a video of a Lite bend from the AZ COMP!!!! :rock You're not even proud of me for those shoes Man Paul was amazed!! I know man, I know. Paul said I need to get with Eric and learn his masterful technique, I'll work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plains are a good bit tougher than the Rims so you really have to drive with all you have to finish one. I've seen Aaron McKenzie bend one and it took him longer to "S" it than it did for him to heart a hand forged "draft" shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Never been so tired before in my LIFE!!!! Here it goes: Unlike Zach , I am not sneaky at all and have no intentions of hiding grip workouts from you people, but ehh what the hell, they're a pain to write and maybe I should make that sneaky michiganer sweat a little. Let's just say I had a pretty good day on grippers, a few PRs and some close misses on big grippers. Once my strength is 100% back from ASAC I'll be up there Kettlebells!!!! SSST (Secret Service Snatch Test) 16kg x 72; 6 min; switching on the minute 12rpm Left arm form was crappy, kept hitting the wrong part of my palm and hurt my elbow a bit LCCJ (Long Cycle Clean & Jerk) 16kg x 70; 10 min, switching on the minute 7rpm This KILLED me!!! I like switching on the minute much better then 1 hand switch, I'll do it this way until after the IGX comp. Running, it's been a while, I know! 1 mile, ~9 min, non stop jogging. I'm excited about this!! Never jogged a mile nonstop before, although I have done it in a slightly shorter time (I think? this wasn't with a stopwatch so it's hard to say, I need to buy one) I'm DRENCHED after KBs and running. But GS has definitely helped my running ability. Runners, are you listening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Do not underestimate the slowness of the fat boys running club. I did my last 5K at an average pace of 9:53 per mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I'd place a face here but it's almost pointless. Besides some weighted hangs and bending, I haven't closed any grippers, pinched anything or done much for wrists except playing some sledges. I'm still stuck on my stupid 152 #3 with a tough sweep Your just dissapointed I haven't posted anything recently since the comp is so close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Decent workout today. nothing too insanely special. Decent day on grippers, no big PRs though. Tried some RT. I forgot my numbers at my mom's house but I got 155 in plates (I think the apparatus is ~8). And I got 157.5 to lockout but it fell out at the top. Those are both well over BW so I'm happy, I've been shotting for BW RT for a LONG time. Messed around with my 3" DB doing cleans and snatches. I snatched 60 R. I cleaned and jerked 70 R. Kinda fun stuff. ACHYBALLS!!! (Hahaha I'm going to start using different IGX KB terms in every post ) Jerk: 24kg x 36; 6 min; 6rpm LCCJ: 16kg x 60; 6 min; 10rpm Damn this pace is FAST for LCCJ, I have no idea how people can get their RPMs so high with this. Jerk: 16kg x 90; 6 min; 15rpm I was shooting for 10 min but the pace was WAY to fast. Not bad though, I'm going to shoot for this pace for 8 min next workout. All of these were switching on the minute, and they always will be unless stated otherwise. Running: As it turns out you are faster then me Matt, my time last time was way off. 1 mile: 10:21.87 Dissappointed with this time but oh well. Felt faster then last time. And this time I had a finishing kick, instead of falling over ready to pass out, lol. I had more in me, maybe sub 10min next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait wait wait, your 5'11" 150ish and you can't run a sub 10 mile despite being into KB's? Is there a medical or mechanical issue holding you back? I don't want to be rude man, it's an honest inquiry. PM me if it's a private medical issue or something and I'll drop it Edited September 25, 2008 by MalachiMcMullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) No medical issue, crappy runner. It definitely didn't feel like it was above 10 mins, but I'd second guess myself before my iPod, haha. Maybe I cal'd the course wrong? I don't know I'll retest it tomorrow, it might be a tad over 1 mile, this isn't an exact science, it's running through the streets of my neighborhood. EDIT: Another note, I used to be able to run about 8:30 on a semi-exact course in middle school. I was 30-40 lbs lighter and in HORRIBLE shape, this is making me wonder. Back then I also only ran the straight aways and walked the curves, now I'm jogging non stop.

matthcarl Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I wouldn't sweat the pace. I also post on runnersworld.com, and it's not unusual to see people with 12 or 13 minute miles and even slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there someone younger then me who has done it? I can't remember. Thanks Bob!! I was feeling fairly strong today Zach, yeah I told you I had some left in the tank last time I was about ready to fall over at the 3/4 mile mark but I pushed myself and I was a little close to puking at the end Thanks David!!!
