Adam Moyers Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm sitting in my motel bored so I decided to start a log. This will mostly be a Grip log until I get serious with lifting again and eventually start bending. I brought some grippers and IM bands with me on my two week trip and I used them the first 6 days and took yesterday off. Tonight- 25 reps IM White Band L&R 5 reps IM Trainer L&R 20 reps IM Green Band L&R 5 reps IM #1 L&R 15 reps IM Yellow Band L&R 2 MMS Singles with IM #1.5 L failed 2 MMS Singles with IM # 2 R 10 reps IM Blue Band L&R 2 Negatives IM #1.5 L 2 MMS Singles IM #2.5 R failed/missed by maybe 1/8"(PR) 5 reps IM Red Band L&R I've never kept a log before so hopefully this will get better along with my grip. If anyone has tips, advice, or anything on training or the log feel free to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Moyers Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Back home now with no power, or water. We might not have power for 3 weeks. Thank god for cell phones, without the internet I would go crazy. Its about 40 degrees in the house right nown but will probably be below freezing by morning. So I'm sitting in the dark working on some grippers. I ordered the whole set of BC grippers for the hell of it. It was only $56 for 7 grippers so I figured why not. I guess they are pretty much the same as hg grippers but not as good. I chest crushed the bc400 one time and the spread closed about 5/8". Most of the other closed similar to that one. 10 reps bc100 L&R 10 reps bc150 L&R 10 reps bc200 L&R 5 attempts bc250 L 5 reps bc250 R I got #263 on my axle almost to lockout before it slipped. It was 25degrees and dark in the garage. I think if I was Warmed up I can get it. Will try again friday during the day. That's it for now, back to the darkness and boredom I go.

Adam Moyers Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'll get to the point because I'm tired of typing on this phone. I did the same gripper workout as my first post. Then I went to the garage and set some PRs. #263 on my IM_Axle (felt good, will try #273 in a few days) #190 on my FBBC 2" Vbar (got close on #200) #90 on my FBBC #8 Bomb #35 on my FBBC hub I'm going to build a deloader for my blobs tomorrow.

Adam Moyers Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Slacked off on my log. But i'm back in a hotel until wednesday so I will try to catch up. Feb 3-5th Just did some IM bands and .6kg dexterity balls. Feb 6th- Blob 50(51.6lb on bathroom scale) to full lockout 2 times right hand! HUGE PR, first time to ever fully lift it. feb 8th- Test maxes on competition events. MMS Grippers: RH-1/8"-3/16" IM #2.5, LH-IM #1.5 Axle: 263lbs 2HP: Used two 35s at 60mm and got 120lbs 2" Vbar: RH-190lbs, LH-145lbs Bending: No idea Tonight: .6kg dexterity balls Some random grippers to warm up. Bent 7"x3/16", 6"x3/16", 5.5"x3/16", 5"x3/16", 4"x3/16", and a 6"x1/4" hex cap screw I think that was CRS but i really have no idea. The sticker said "weld stl-rnd (c.r.) 3/16" The hex cap screw has "307 A and CYI" written on the end. The hex cap screw was much harder than the 3/16" stuff, but i got it all to around an inch between the ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Moyers Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Feb 12th- Bent my first piece of 7"x1/4" CRS, followed my first two 60 penny nails. Today- Started my training for the MoTown Gripdown in May. MMS Grippers- LH- Trainer for 5 reps BBA for 3 reps #1 for 1 rep #1.5 for 5 singles Trainer for 5 reps RH- Trainer for 5 reps #1 for 3 reps #1.5 for 1 rep #2 for 5 singles Trainer for 5 reps 2HP( using Scott George's mouse pinch) about 47mm, will try different widths as I progress 60lbs for 5 reps 72lbs for 3 reps 84lbs for 1 rep 96lbs for 1 rep 108lbs for 1 rep 5 attempts at 125lbs( Came off the floor the 1st and 3rd attempt) 60lbs for 5 reps Finished up with some 60 penny spirals. I got a box the other day and wanted to give them a try. I tried 2 reverse, 1 DU, and 1 DO. The 2 reverse were bent off center, I need to learn how to do this properly. The DU and DO were easy but will be good for warming up for my next bending workout. I got three 10kg plates at Play it again sports a few days ago and decided to try lifting them. My left hand is weak, I need to fix that. Here is the video: Edit: Did some IM bands and dexterity ball work about 30 minutes after the workout.

Adam Moyers Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Feb 16th IM Axle 5 reps- 131lbs 3 reps- 158lbs 1 rep- 184lbs 1 rep- 210lbs 1 rep- 236lbs 5 attempts- 268lbs(came off the floor about 5 inches each attempt) 5 reps- 131lbs Attempted 2x35lb plates RH about an inch off the floor LH nothing I'm thinking my wide pinch is stronger. The three 10kg plates were about 86mm and came up easy RH. The two 35s were 60mm and I can't get them yet? That is only a 4lb difference. Any Ideas?

I will add my last section next workout and see how that goes. That should put it around 65mm I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't consistently lifted in about 2 years. Squats have always been my weakest link. I think its more mental than anything else. My best lifts 2-3 years ago was 495lb deadlift, 330lb bench, 250lb push-press, and a measly 225lb squat. I didn't like to squat so I didn't do it so it never improved. I'm going to change that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
