MANTHOS Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Thanks Joefrey. I'll try to add 1 or 2 reps next session. Yesterday I did some front squats hiting 3 reps with 160kilos(353) for the last set. Some one arm dumbbell extentions and cable pushdown for triceps and treadmill at 8.5 for 10 minutes. Later, at the room, I played a little with my grippers. I missed for a couple of mms the #3 I bought from Sam but I managed to No Set close my #2.5 for the first time and then I did two sets overcrushes with it - Oh if I only had some chalk with me....

My goal is 180kilos(397lbs) normal or reverse grip. The problem is that it's difficult to find the right spotter or any spotter especially for the reverse grip...
