rico300zx Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thursday, 12/4/09 Woke up with a nasty sore throat today, so wasn't planning on doing any lifting, but got the urge to go for a new max dead. 214 x 2 264 x 1 314 x 1 364 x 1 414 x 1 500 x 1 - PR! Felt really, really good. Perfect form all the way up. Looks like it was worth the attempt after all. And, my knee didn't bother me once, which I'm really happy about. Oh my, Frank is finally a man!....so quit cryin about your throat. I bet chuck norris dosent wine about a sore throat and knee probs, o that's right he dosent get any of that.

rico300zx Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Frank, When you say #3 x 10, exactly how wide do you open it? All the way? And bang it back closed? Or ru stopping and replacing it in your hand ten times with no rest. Put a link up if you have a vid of how you do the high reps with the #3, I'm just looking to see this because it seems so hard to do such high reps. Also how often do you test your self with a credit card for the #3? Since you were talking of certing a wile ago. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico I do them like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml_h7yXbmzM I actually haven't done any CCS in a while. I was close to CCSing my #3.5 for a while there. I'll have to try that again in my next workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so much of a setter so its not a strong point for me Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Friday, 12/11/09 Was gonna do shoulder press today, but got talking to Luke about BP, so turned it into a bench workout instead.

Magnus Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Thanks, guys! Reading the GC results made me wanna do some DO axle pulls. 2-3/8" axle: Warmed up, then worked up to... 304 x 1 + long hold - PR! 304 x 1 Finished off with some singles/shrugs with 250. Around when I pulled 384/barely missed 404 on Climber's 2" axle, I could barely even get this off the ground, so to pull it for 2 relatively easy singles is a nice PR. I'd like another go on Chris's axle to see what I could do on that, now. Ironic that I've been training only 100% grippers again, and this is the 2nd time I've set a big PR after training only grippers. Well what do you know...amazing for something that's so boring, useless, yada yada... Edited December 13, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeamdman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 What first got me into grip training was shrugs. At about the 315lb mark with an olympic bar, my pathetic grip had trouble holding on with a DO grip... Ordered some heavy grips from ebay, and since I didn't know about the GB or anything grip, I did like 3 sets of 10 reps or something. Couldn't even close the hg200. After just a couple weeks my grip in the gym saw dramatic improvements. Shrugs weren't a problem anymore, and that's just from grippers.

Magnus Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks Mike! Luke, that's preposterous. Everybody knows that grippers don't give you any functional hand strength. You must've imagined it. 2hp: On my 48mm setup. 120 x 1 140 x 1 170 x 1 200 x 1 206 x 1 - PR TTK: 13lb x 20, both hands - PR 16lb, "choked" to parallel (stacked weights under the plate side until the tubes were parallel) 6 reps lefty, 1 rep righty (right hand died here for some reason). 10lb, 10 reps both hands Edited December 17, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
