wlong132003 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 HELP!!! Ok I need some advice on getting my Rolling thunder lift up to 130 by the years end. I pulled 115 the other day with my right hand just messing around. I think I can get 130 but I don't know if I am doing the proper training to achieve that goal. Any advice would be great.

odin Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) HELP!!! Ok I need some advice on getting my Rolling thunder lift up to 130 by the years end. I pulled 115 the other day with my right hand just messing around. I think I can get 130 but I don't know if I am doing the proper training to achieve that goal. Any advice would be great. Laine Snook recommends doing the RT for 2 sets of 12 reps once a week I believe and others (Wes, Mobster) have had success with high reps as well. Just continue to do the well-rounded grip program you are doing (looks to be David Horne-based) along with it; and some additional thickbar wouldn't hurt either. I don't know of anyone who had great success with timed holds as the central component; most just do a full-range lift with a brief hold at the top and lower it under control, some remove and reset the hand after each lift. My RT really shot up when I started doing more overall whole-body weight training (double overhand deadlifts in particular).

I have been doing rack pulls double overhand for about 3 weeks then I took a break from them but I noticed a big difference when I did them so i will probably go back as far as thick bar stuff I don't have any equipment yet I was going to get a fence post and make a axle bar just havent got to it yet.

wlong132003 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well after being home for a few days I figured I should try to get into the internet fun and make my own blog. Hope to have my own site some day but here it is. I will post random thoughts I have and news I find worth mentioning. Also all things grip and strength worthy will be added. It has taken some revamping with some colors but I think this is the final product. Check it out daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know if I can close the #1 right now I havnet tried don't want to jump into it to far this soon after surgery. I don't know if I can close the 1.5 while healed or not I bought the #2 to train with and was working it to then buy the 1.5 and crush it before Dec I think but with surgery thats probably not going to happen.

wlong132003 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ok so did pretty much same thing I did the last work out but thought I could ad some leverage work into it with a small 3lb hand held sledge. My breathing started to pick up a bit with that so I only did 2 sets. Don't need to over do the wound. CoC Sport-10x3 Trainer-7x3 Finger Extentions 10x2 with a Heavy rubber band Leverage work side to side 10 total reps each side 2 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
