matthcarl Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Running: 1 mile 8:59.76 WOW!!! I pushed myself to the limit on this one, I guess I was just taking it to easy on myself last time. VERY happy about this. Hmm. Going to have to see if I can top that Nice job onthe other stuff, especially the blob. I don't think i could get air on a 40, so I'm impressed.

odin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Great workout Derek, I knew you could do it (re: 50 Blob)! I think you'll be the lightest on the Blob list, BTW. Is there someone younger then me who has done it? I can't remember. Thanks Bob!! I was feeling fairly strong today Yes, of course you'll be the youngest Derek, that goes without saying. I think Steve must be pretty close to you in BW as well-and he's on the way to getting the 50. I think I was < 160 when i first did it, would need to look it up. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but fun to think and talk about anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well I'm 159.5 Bob so you might have Me best by a very small margin or something. No it doesn't but as you said, fun to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks Aaron! My dad has some decent rafters, I'll have to give them a shot. Josh, thanks a lot bro. They're about 8" but I have really long lanky fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 So people, The day after tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth out. Fun stuff SO I won't be working out for at least another week. In addition I need to let my biceps heal so I don't have to deal with this injury again. Just thought I'd let any faithful readers get the update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 I didn't intend to but I ended up messing around with grippers a bit today I actually set my #3.5 to a little outside parallel, couldn't do that before. RB260x1 BIG PR HG350 in a choker at 5/8", parallel, then 7/8" all closed all PRs HG300 pretty close MMS Elite at MM2 specs to about 1/4" MMS RB300N pretty close MMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll get the MM1 easily. It isn't too bad a gripper if you are closing a decent #3 regularly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thanks Sam! I hope to go after it after my recovery from this surgery. It hasn't been cald Zack but it feels harder then any #3 I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Messed around with some random stuff yesterday, wasn't feeling particularly strong. Grippers: Crap, total crap. Blobs: Just did some Hulas for fun, I got my 35lb Blob for 32 full rotations around my waist before it flew out of my hand and rolled a couple feet away One Arm Jerks with a 2" Loadable DB 77x1 each 82x1 each 87x1 R, near miss L 92x1 R 97x1 R PR!!! a tad over 61% of BW, I'd like to work up to around 75% of BW, anyone know what's considered a good lift BW-wise with this? One Hand Deadlift 135x1 185x1 195x1 205x1 R 210x0 multiple lifts to the knees Not very good with this lift, need to work it a bit. I have no center knurl though so it's a fair bit harder then a normal bar. 2" DB Deadlift 152x1 2" DB Farmers holds 70 in each hand x 49.58, 31.07 Some weak farmers walks 45 in each hand x I have no clue how long, tough though and fairly long.

vikingsrule92 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 screwed around just a little with grippers today. Not much point in this post but bragging Got the Elite at MM2 specs in a choker at 5/8", parallel, 7/8", and missed 1" by about 1/16". Tomorrow I get my T6 and T7 and I can't wait to give the T6 a try, I doubt I will do much with the T7 Today I also got my Double stamped #3 from Steve (knyaz) and some free wraps (2 pair) he was generous enough to include, thanks buddy. This feels harder then my 157 #3, but it's in need of an oiling and I didn't compare my 157 directly to it. I got it down to about 1/4" with no warmup, this was followed by the choked closes above. After all of this success I think when Bill opens up the MM sign ups again I will jump on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Been busy lately, behind on posting workouts. October 17 (I think? Can't remember, haha) Grippers MM2 Rep. to 1/16" 144 clamped at 5/8" to 3/8" L Hard #3 - crappy set 138 to 1/8" L Hard #3 to 1/8" 144 at 5/8" to 1/4" L Blobs/Pinch (done with both hands unless stated otherwise) 45 M+R air, air 45+10 - air 2-33 plates - 3 finger R 2-33s 2 finger R (I+R), 3 finger L 45+2 - last 3 fingers 45 - M+R - L 45+5 - last 3 fingers - air, air, air, x1 L 45+5 - M+R - air, air 1HDL Complete Crap 2" DB C&J 77x1 82x1 87x1C - R 102x1 Jerk - R 107x miss, miss Rolling Thunder (weight including apparatus) 142x3 each 152x1 each 167x1 R 169.5x1 R 172x0 170.5x0 147x14 R 130x20 L Blobs 40 Hula x 9 full circles 10-23-08 (yesterday) Deadlifts!! Long time no regular deadlift, I missed this exercise All done Double Overhand, damn my back is pathetic, or my grip is really strong, depends on if you're an optimist or pessimist I suppose First 4 sets beltless, after that belted 135x5 185x5 225x5 275x3 295x3 315x3 335x1 345x1 I definitely over warmed-up, was toasted after 345, I'm capable of more. This was just a test day however. This proves my back is holding back my Axle lift to an extent, so yes, I am stronger then you Paul Knight Shrugs 135- 5x5 Can go way heavier, but a bar was awkward, think I may switch to DBs next time Farmers Walk 45 in each hand (handled plates) - same route as last time, twice (rest in between of course ) Felt way better this time, like this exercise a lot, I just wish I had something to train with other then 2" DBs (to progress with) so my grip wasn't a limiting factor at all. Also before this I got within a hair of my hard #3, the one well harder then my 157 and in the same range as the MM2 rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
