Recommended Posts

May as well start a log for everyone to see, i am only 17 and about 11 stone so this should be interesting for such a young person.

Currently only using HG grippers at the moment until I buy some Warran Tetting grippers at Christmas.

Hammer curls

-3sets of 10 reps - 2x22.5kg

-2sets of 6 reps - 2x25kg

-1set of 5reps - 2x27.5kg

-1set of 5reps - 2x30kg

-1set of 5reps - 2x32.5kg

Grippers

-Reps with HG250

-1 rep with HG350

Repeated this 6 times, really crushed the hg350 for as long as possible.

#note that my hg350 is ridiculously hard having no dogleg and I've estimated its rating at about 160-170, 3-4mm from closing it.

I never train arms before grip. I feel that I get stronger if I do benchpress, legpress or squats before grip. :)

I've never tried a HG350. I had a HG300 before but I gave it away.

It was like a coc2, around there, in strength.

160-170 lbs is alot, its like a beef builder elite - coc3,5 somewhere.

Are you sure thats right? :)

Keep it up man!

I was doing arms and then get home and still felt strong so I decided to do some grip

I unfortunately brought a very strong HG300 and HG350 which is a lot harder than my COC#3

Was still alittle fatigued today but ended up doing some grippers.

Warm up and then sets:

-HG250 reps

-HG350 1 rep

repeated 5 sets of this

Then tried a close with the HG300 and closed it, think it was rated at about 145pounds

Today was a great workout, was with a group of people and a bodybuilder with 20" arms!

Did thick barred pull ups 8 sets of reps to failure.

5 sets of lat pull downs using 125kg 4 reps

Then did hammer curls and had a competition on who could rep the 32.5kg dumbells I got 6 clean reps for 5 sets.

Was talking to the bodybuilder about grip strength and he mentioned that he wanted to be able to crush skulls etc and recommended to me using the heavy plastic grippers..i set him straight.

1.1 inch vertical bar lifts

5 sets of 50kg - 20reps.

Would have gone heavier but that's all the gym has at the moment.

What brand is the v-bar? Is tha handle knurled? What is the standard '' for the v-bar? Has it any carryover to other lifts?

I've thought about getting or making a vbar in the past but I never got that far.

Today I was talking to a friend and he wanted to try a v-bar after seeing a video of gabriel sum doing 175kg on one.

I cant decide wether to make one or buy one. :)

Thanks and keep up the good work man!

I didn't notice any brand markings on the bar, I will check if I can!

This one didn't have knurling, was just smooth and you can usually get them either 1inch or two inch.

If you have the parts then make it I suggest as im not sure where to buy one

Ive found that it doing this exercise has thickened up my thumb pad and I have seen an increase in strength when doing thick barred exercises, will probably help doing the rolling thunder

Thanks brother!

You should definitely give them a try!

Brought fat gripz extreme for deadlifts and pull ups so that will be interesting to add in :grin:

I too have the phat gripz extreme. They are hard :) ease into it if you're not used to that thick of a handle. I got pain in my thumb joints frm going too heavy too fast. :)

Been practising with my #3 everyday for the past week, taking a break off now but and has really helped with grip and setting abilities.

setting the #3 into my hand and attempting to close it, in one week gone from 1inch off to 0.8inches off!

Now can deep set my HG250/HG300 and close them with a lot more ease!

all done without chalk at the moment.
