Messed up my program, today was actually supposed to be press. I'll rest up and try again next time.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Is your Axle limited by your dl strength? It just ocured to me that your Axle and your dl seem fairly close... Anyhow, I'm sure this won't be a longterm problem for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Good eye, Honk. That's definitely the case. At Nationals, I cleared the ground with 280lbs on the axle, but my back stopped moving. My hands were fine. lol I'm trying to get my back strength up to exceed my axle now. In the future, I'll strengthen it further so I can pull quickly to reduce the effort to my hands.

honk Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's some ridiculous fatbar strength Yori. You are driven and know how to train. You should get a 300# pull within 2 month, maybe 3 if you have T-Rex arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thank you sir! Eric challenged me the other day to pull 300 before my birthday (8/3). And even though I missed 275 last time, I'm convinced I can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 So I'm here with my 135# gripper and it's 1/16" from closed, both hands. If I wasn't even, maybe I should be closing my 141 #3 right handed. EDIT: closed it lefty. (MMS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis8589 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wow bud, I wonder what your axle will end up being once your regular deadlift gets stronger. Oh and late congratulations on nationals, that 2xBW DO Axle is one of the most impressive feats i've ever seen(heard, lol)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried again but the same thing happened, and I was tired. Gotta iron out my technique and my bench itself, because I felt robbed of a few reps.

Breath drive and press groove were lost today. Grippers were okay though. Closed #2.5 with a block set both hands today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Countdown to 300. Hope for the Unbig rest upon your shoulders, Yori. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm trying 300 tomorrow, Eric. Getting my tork and belt, and visiting a metroflex to lift some weight. I assumed I'd be benching 200 a lot later, and deadlifting 300 a lot sooner. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Strategy - pull harder than you possibly can until you stand up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 7/19-C3W3D2 Been sorta slacking. But I'll call it a deload and deadlift some heavy weight soon. Bench 125x5 140x3 155x11 (CM=212) Pull up 2x15 My bench gained near 20lbs today. The secret? I made some height adjustments to the bench's legs. Always had the problem with heavier weights having to get out of my form just to unrack, but no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivarboneless Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Znosko, 1) Are you available for the shopping trip this weekend? 2) You better pull three bills by your birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey Mike. 1. Yes I can, if you're free Sunday. I've got the whole day off. Since you're hurt now, would it be better to wait though? 2. The pressure's on. Here is an unreleased post of my progress measured a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 7/20-C3W3D3 Deadlift 135x2 225x2 245x1 265x1 285x1 (PR. Double overhand, no belt no tork. Felt blacked out after this one.) 305xF (6" off ground) 305xF (Used belt and nose tork, but only 2" lift.) Grippers -Done before DL singles to psyche up. Felt real strong, and found that grippers prep me very well for pulling. #2 CCSx3 reps BH #2.5 20mmS BH Axle 200 220 250-easy, but back was slow. 270-knee height, back pulled slow and it rolled out of my hands. Log press Did a 115lbs log easily after being told it was 55lbs. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis8589 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Mirin' that deadlift Yori, looking strong! Just curious though, what is "nose york"? Nice on the log press too! was that your first time using a log? how does it feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nose tork is a packaged inhalant that smells like strong cat piss. It's used medically to wake up people who are passed out, and by power lifters to psyche themselves up. It doesn't make you superhuman, but it will give you a great psyche up. I've noticed that in grip, it helps with setting grippers and axle. Pinch and closing grippers, not so much. Thanks for the mirination. Appreciate it. This was my second time every touching a log. The first time was the day before a comp so I didn't try anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 What's your gripper max these days? I noticed your closing a 2.5 there . Awesome. Edit: I looked back some, you closed a 141 #3 lefty!? Double Edit: I think you meant you got the 135# gripper shut lefty. Either way, you're hovering around that BW close! (Or got it if you were 133).

When i'm amped up i do poorly at the pinch... when i'm calm and deliberate i am much stronger, kind of like setting up for a long putt on the green.. now axle and grippers..? i'm better when someone pisses me off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Edit: I think you meant you got the 135# gripper shut lefty. Either way, you're hovering around that BW close! (Or got it if you were 133). My gripper max right now is a 123# 2.5 for a few singles both hands, and for MMS I've closed that 135# HG300 lefty. I have nothing in between with normal handles... smooth handles, 1"handles, 5/8 handles in between though. I've closed a gripper at 110% my BW at AZGC6, also did 147% 2HP there. This is nowhere near as impressive as your 158# @66k though, so I'm shooting for consistent bodyweight block sets at current BW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
