Jul54 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Little training today *V-Bar 24mm: RH: 89kg (196) (P.R.) LH: 84kg (185) (P.R.) ---> next goal: 225 at the V-bar 1" *V-Bar 48mm: RH: 75.5kg (166) LH: 75.5kg (166) * I tried to do One Hand Deadlift with my 80" long & 1" of diameter bar but it's not very stable. I find a 2" PVC pipe for the grip but I must find a solution to wedge it on the bar. Maybe i'll do that with foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jul54 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) I like hubbing keep up the good work. I see it the blob that you pinch in your gallery is very difficult. It was the same at the Grip comp and i've just glance at it, too difficult for me On the other hand, i hope i'll hub a 45 soon Edited May 19, 2008 by Jul54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jul54 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Today Pinch training: *Euro Pinch: 1*53.5 (118) 0*57.5 (126 3/4) --> I lifted it only the first 4-5 inches... *Triple Hub:only 2" & 3" today LH: 13kg (28.5) @2" ; 12kg (26.5) @3" then, after the sets i did with LH: 5*11kg (24 1/4) @2" 4*10kg (22) @3" & tried some lifts with claw grip (I think i could be stronger with it, I will try it again) RH: 14kg (31) @2" ; 16kg (35 1/4) @3" P.R. I tried to lift 17kg (37.5) with RH but I succeeded only the first 4-5 inches (like the Euro pinch) I tried some extra stuffs too for the LH ( my weak point): *I did some swings with the Hub from aft forward *I took a soft tennis ball in my hand & tried to crush it with the tip of my fingers (without the thumb) I think that my thumb is not the weak point. I need to strengthen the other fingers Soon, I think that i'll make a sort of Titan's Telegraph Key™ (http://www6.mailordercentral.com/ironmind/...asp?number=1243) but a little bit modified to work essentially the fingers (not only the thumb).
