acorn Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Had a good workout today. Tim and his friend made it over. Managed to get 217# RH on the 1H axle, 190 LH, and 400.4# for the DO axle DL all on video. Will get the videos up later. Really happy with the lifts today as I've been fighting sciatica for over a week and its worst in the morning. I actually missed at 350# on the warmup first attempt due to my back. After that I managed to grind it out up to the 400.4# first attempt missing lockout by about 1". An hour of digging in the garden after that managed to warmup and loosen up my back enough to come back an get the 400.4# finally. Also did a few grippers and some pinch before the thickbar as well as some attempts on Blob+15# after the thickbar getting some decent air. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are increasing your 1 arm axle 10 lbs every time you train it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are increasing your 1 arm axle 10 lbs every time you train it. Thx man, not true though. I'm not posting every 1H workout. Some of the sessions are not even what you would call a workout just walk up and do one or 2 pulls or one or 2 negs then walk away. Those are what I've been considering the off days. been doing 1-2 sessions like this most every day for the last 25 days unless I do a longer full training session which were 5+ days a week for the first 2 weeks then less full sessions tapering down after that. The weights have been slowly incrementing up a little at a time. Very similiar to Pavel's GTG method. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Great pulls Aaron! Looks like my work is starting to pay off. After squatting today, i warmed up with 165, 250, 340 then i did 374x2x1. 374 was an easy PR, and i pulled it for 2 singles aswell. The first felt like i had 10# to spare, the second was a little harder. Afterwards i did 340 for a double, followed by a few shrugs at the top on the second rep. I'm feeling confident about getting 180kg(396) at Christmas now, and possibly 400#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Kind of stuck where I have been for 3 weeks. Couldn't get 345 DO or 200 one armed AGAIN! May take a week off of fatbar and come back and hit it fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Mike give multiple singles a go! I tested this lift this morning to see if i could pull a new max. Here's how it went. 250x1 300x1 341x1 385x0 - just missed lockout, axle rolled towards my thumbs and i held on for 1-2 secs in more of a 'pinch type grip' before i lost it. 341x3 (PR) 352x2 (PR) 363x1 Should have gone for 380 instead. Next time i'm dropping to 370 and doing 6 singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) After grippers and block weights I did some axle pulls. Back has been a little suspect last couple days, so I didn't go for a 1RM. Instead I went for a different test. Back at the end of August, I was in the Lift at Jedd's qualifyer for the Grip Nationals. One of the events was number of times you could pull 300 DO on the axle in 1 minute. Sadly to say, my number was 1. Tonight: 110X3 180X1 250X1 300X4 in exactly 1 minute Edited November 25, 2009 by Bullitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Anybody know who this guy is? 555# DO axle deadlift. He missed it, but not by a ton. Edited January 13, 2010 by Bullitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't remember if he hook gripped that or not. Matt Graham pulled around 540lbs hooked back in the early 2000s in a contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcpower66 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm in the process of welding up an axle, so I'm in as soon as it is finished. Brent C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
