Matt Brouse Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Might as well throw me down. Think my best was 385ish but it was a while ago... Everything of mine has improved on the axle except for DO DLing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle power from Finland So you're starting off at 396 in a race to 400. You're going to get a real sense of accomplishment, I think, when you reach 400. It will be a real adventure, a quest, even, but if you have what it takes, the reward will always stay with you. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm in. My best is 364lbs. I tried the other day and pulled 373 to knee height. This one is my worst grip lift, by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Aaron, I actually feel weaker on this lift being heavy at the moment. My hands/thumbpads are are a lot thicker now that i weigh 300 so even though i am much stronger i'm getting less 'skin' on the bar if you see what i mean. My training partner who has a much weaker grip than me on everything else (he closes an eays #3 on a good day, pinches 200lbs) and is 6'3'' 290 can pull 30lbs more than me. We both have the same sized hands, 8'' or a tad over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Did rows, biceps, triceps, and finished up with some holds to failure on my Inch handle. I think I've done some Inch work everyday this week so far. Edited October 9, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm in as well. the collars I ordered for my axle were the wrong size so, I'll be getting a little bit of a late start. current best is 363 at ggc. I did 373 2 years ago but, I have the hand thickening thing going on as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timo Tuukkanen Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Rex, your sarcasm knows no bounds. - Aaron I was expecting something like this to come... Cam we make this race more interesting; let's see who ( from this 8 gripster crew ) increases his PR most in pounds with some time period! 3months perhaps...??? maybe then will avoid sarcasmic comments... about axle training diary, will not exercise any grip strength until fully recovered from Finnish open 2009... PS. please accept my apologies if somebody understanded my earlier comment as despising to this race or other contestants of this race. It was not supposed to be taken that way, i'm such a newbie since trained grip only 8-9months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
