Rope Triceps Pull Downs 80 lbs - 4 sets of 15x. wanted to go lighter and get more volume. Elbow has been sore hear and there so I wanted to pump blood into the area.

Chez Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Amazing session today but I am super tired. I cut the session short because I was just exhausted but here is what I did: Barbell Back Squats 2 warm ups 185 lbs - 8x 215 lbs - 8x 245 lbs - 8x 275 lbs - 8x Lat Pull Downs 150 lbs - 8x 170 lbs - 8x 190 lbs - 8x 210 lbs - 8x Seated Close Grip Cable Rows 150 lbs - 8x 170 lbs - 8x 190 lbs - 8x 210 lbs - 8x Right Hand MMS Grippers Several warms up during squats 194.5 lb RGC Super Elite - Closed for a Single. I felt the handles smash together. We got video of it but I didn't like the lighting. It had a shadow on the close so I told my friend to video my second attempt. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a demanding perfectionist. Just ok video isn't good enough for me. 194.5 lb RGC Super Elite - Closed for a Single and this time we got good video. Stood in a spot with better lighting. See below for the video and still of the close. 186 lb RGC MM3 - Good Single. The last two singles with the SE took a lot out of me cause I had to hold the closes for a long time to ensure we got a good still and that really drained my power. 174 lb RGC RB 280 - 3 doubles 165 lb RGC Elite - 3 triples 160 lb MM1 - 3 sets of 4x RBA Right Hand Negatives Level 4.5 - Hold for 10 seconds Level 5 - Hold for 10 seconds Level 5.5 - Hold for 10 seconds - Easy stuff. Upping the negatives next session. I am being cautious with them to start so I am doing a slow ramp up.

Yep, the 203 is a tetting (AKA beef builder) super elite and the 200 is a ronnie coleman which is a lesser known brand but sometimes you need those to fill hard to find gaps.

It took me a very long time to collect all the grippers I needed for a gradual ramp up and I was always looking ahead so when something came up that I wasn't ready for yet, I snatched it up cause I always planned on going this far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) So cannon power works just emailed me. I asked for a filed silvis megalodon gripper and I asked them to rate it flush mount and then throw in as many ratings as he could do and this is what they got: 220, 210, 200 then 185 and they said I should be able to eyeball ratings in between of 215, 205 and 193. And they said they can probably add two more ratings! With this, the other grippers I just bought and the other adjustables I had made which I plan on having rated at intervals, I have all the tools I need to get to the MM8. Its on me now to train my ass off and everyone know I can do that. No excuses. This is going to be a great year, Its on!

Cannon Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I got two more increments on there, 175 and 165. To clarify on the "eyeballing" it's just that half way between increments will be essentially half way between the ratings. At least as it relates to training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
