Joefrey Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have watched all those fantastic videos this WE. Strong stuff Man ! MM2 is really not kind with you!! Nevertheless, it's nearly closed.

Thanks Joefrey. That MM2 is still a headacke for me. Balance is the secret for the Kb Bup presses...work the balance and the kilos will follow.

MANTHOS Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 04/11/2009 BENCH PRESS: 70(154) x2x10 100(220) x2x6 120(264) x2x5 140(309) x5 150(330) x2 160(353) x2 170(375) x3x1 PULLOVERS with 25kilo plate: 3x10 BENT OVER ROWS: 60(132) x10 90(198) x5 120(264) x2x5 GRIPPERS: After a good warmup with my #2, a couple of singles with my #2.5 both hands and then 5 singles for my RH with my #3 and five singles for my LH again with my #2.5. The problem here is that I can't calibrate my grippers and I don't know where exactly am I. I mean I don't know if my #3 is an '"easy" #3 or a "hard" one and that problems me for all my work grippers. It looks like you put plates on the bar for Squats , for example , that don't write the poundage and you don't have a scale to weight them!! How much do you Squat...??... Thats how I feel about my gripper training! (I'll post this as a topic and hear some opinions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result my hands were off for Mondays workout. I only managed to hit 4 sets of 3 singles with my RB260 for right and RB240 for left. Then I tried my MM1 replica with no luck of course!!

I guess they didn't recuperate from Mondays Push Presses and Wednesdays Snatches. GRIPPERS: RH: Some warm up closes with my #2, four singles with my RB240 and one close with my BBGM. Then I did some attempts with my 5/8' BBGM needed about 1cm to touch the handles. LH: Same warmup and then singles with my RB240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could do such good work with my MM1 cert. That gripper kicked my ass this morning. Three attempts, three misses. I was very close but these 2 last mms stopped me there. Do me a favor and kick that grippers ass for me my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You'll have to do it first, Dear ! Just a thinking : do you have a filled gripper, let say a COC 2.5 or a COC 3 ? If you have troubles with the last mm, it may be good to train with a filled gripper and really focus on those last mm. Also, working explosively with a choker on a harder gripper would help. In my opinion, filled gripper would be better because you still have to set the gripper which is also important to master. I know there will be few workouts before MM1 knocks at your door but this may help... Stay angry !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joefrey Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I was a little bit confused The gripper didn't last long to be delivered and I didn't expect news from your cert so early. Train hard ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTHOS Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 19/11/2009 (Morning) MM1 CERTIFICATION: 3 attempts - 3 misses at the last 2mm. From the first attempt I was sure I closed it! I felt so confident that for a moment I decided not to continue with the rest two attempts but I changed my mind and did them to be more sure...!! After the three attempts time to check the video... I can't describe the disappointment I felt. I was so ungry and so upset at the same time...I was above the spring(!!) and I did'n bent over to drink water!! All crushes stoped at 2mm...That gripper fooled me but things will be different. (Afternoon) Despite my disappointment I cleared my mind, reset some goals and hit the gym... CLEAN & JERK: 50(110) x10 60(132) x5 80(176) x3 100(220) x3 110(242) x2 120(264) x2 135(298) x1 CLEANS(From knee height): 100(220) x3 105(231) x2x3 SQUATS: 70(154) x10 100(220) x5 120(264) x5 140(309) x5 160(353) x3 182.5(402) x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train hard ! It's OK my friend! The truth is that I too didn't expect it so soon! I think you're next...watch out the last 2mm and give that gripper a lesson! KILL IT!!

Joefrey Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) I have changed my training routine a little bit and I will train only with MM2 replica and BBE for the next 2 weeks, 4 to 5 times, small workouts (warmup + 3 attempts). I know that I will not get stronger in 2 weeks but I need to be focused and be able to make a good video (I videotape each attempt). I don't want to let any chance to the MM1!
