Benedikt Farsmann Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I had to skip my last workout on Friday because I wasn't able to close a #1 with my left hand. I had no pain when gripping so I didn't knew what was wrong until I tried to pinch lift something and recognized that my left wrist felt like it was broken (Fortunately it wasn't). On top of this I had to spend the weekend in bed because I was ill. I will take a week or two off until it is fully recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 So you've had your week or two off. I hope you are feeling better, yes? Lots of grippers out there begging to be closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benedikt Farsmann Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks, Alan! My left hand's much better now and I'm working my way up on the grippers currently repping the HG200 with my weak hand. I got a new schedule that isn't very consistant at the moment so I don't know when I'm able to train. Only thing I'm doing at the moment is some gripper work from time to time. Hopefully I will be back at it next week or the week after. Greetings to all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) You might try some GTG gripper training. I'm trying that right now and it barely consumes any time. Edit: Gripboard's very own Wes Peart used to train like that when he started out, if my memory serves me correctly.

Sounds interesting. Please tell me more about GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 That's the article that got it startet, to my knowledge at least. GTG means that you do short, light workouts multiple times a day, and avoid failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedikt Farsmann Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've fallen in love with card tearing recently so I gave it a first try. I used laminated paper cards: 2009-09-14 1x 15 cards - few seconds 1x 15 cards - few seconds 1x 15 cards - few seconds 1x 15 cards - few seconds 2009-09-15 1x 15 cards - few seconds 2009-09-16 1x 15 cards - quartered - few seconds 1x 15 cards - quartered - few seconds 1x 20 cards - quartered - few seconds Quartering 20 cards wasn't that hard. Guess I will use more cards next time. I think tearing a full deck of cards is something I want to accomplish. Now I have to find a cheap supplier. The cheapest cards I've found so far are EUR 0.60 per 32 laminated paper cards. That's too much. Maybe I'll find some at the 1€-Store.

Benedikt Farsmann Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been neglecting my training a bit these past few months. Nevertheless I was able to rip a deck of SKAT cards. Also I finally have a static weekly working schedule so I (re-) started my regular workout routine last week. It consists of wrist curls, levering, static pinch and grippers. Hope you're all doing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
