Guest Bullitt Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Had a good workout tonight. I've been working on my wider set closes and after my squats tonight I thought I would try some CCS doubles on my #3 (swiping the card for each rep). Ended up almost getting it on first double, so I filmed second double. I thought the second rep closed until I saw the video. Missed by a mm or so. Then I was doing some one arm presses with my 27.3KG/60lb kettlebell on the deck. I have been trying to master the bottoms up press and finally got 2 singles. Sorry for the shaky deck railing. Try not to get motion sickness on these two. It was pretty amazing I was able to do these in the middle of an earthquake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVW4oyC5tRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking about trying the Ironmind #3 CCS certification in the near future? One of my goals was to try and get it this year. I'm going to wait and see where I am when this experimental program is over and then probably give it a shot. The MM2 is what is front and center in my mind right now.

Guest Bullitt Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 way to go man, impressive! Thanks bro! One of my goals was to try and get it this year. I'm going to wait and see where I am when this experimental program is over and then probably give it a shot. The MM2 is what is front and center in my mind right now. I was thinking about maybe giving it a shot at the 2010 Arnold. That would be sweet! Show-off. Yea, like you couldn't do 5 - 10 like this. I'm just trying to keep you from getting too far ahead of me bro! I will say that first rep closed easier than any CCS rep I've done. Definitely getting stronger on the wider reps.

Great pressing with the Kb...! Remember, balance is the secret! Thanks my friend. Yea, the balancing of that thing is tough. having tried this, your doing 10 reps on the 32kg bell is that much more amazing to me. Great work Mike!Bet the cam work did kill that 2nd rep. Thanks Franky. Yea, it did. Goal is to be able to run off 5 reps like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyGrip Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey very strong & nice work! Forget the Credit Card, just rep out the gripper using a natural wide set - I think using a credit card takes away momentum and isn't necessary to demonstrate power on the wide close scheme. Same goes for TNS reps, which leave your hands off balance after each close. Since it's videotaped we can all see whether it's "wide" or "parallel" and yours were definately "wide" and I believe you would do better without that credit card taking away your speed and control. Q: How come the handles look like a black marker was used to drawn on the "3" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q: How come the handles look like a black marker was used to drawn on the "3" ? I always color in the gripper numbers and letters (BBs) to make them easier to see on videos. I just use an extra fine sharpie. As for the card, i just wanted to see if I could do a double swiping twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
