JoshW Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Starting a 5x5 program with deadlifts, but sort of personalised it. Was originally going to go 100kg 5x5 and then add 10kg each week but couldn't help myself. 100kg 5 reps 110kg 5 reps 120kg 5 reps 130kg 5 reps 140kg 3 reps was totally out by this point, been a while since ive done reps!

JoshW Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Filed my 140# HG300 today to challenge myself more and got a few reps out with it. if its added about 4mm to the close what will the gripper calibrate at now, 144 maybe?

JoshW Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) WD2 orange spring Level 1 heslep style 1 rep Level 2 heslep style 1 rep Level 3 heslep style 1 rep Level 4 heslep style 1 rep Level 5 heslep style 1 rep Level 6 heslep style 1 rep Level 7 heslep style 1 rep Level 8 heslep style 1 rep Level 9 heslep style 1 rep PB Level 10 heslep style Very close! but no cigar. 1 heslep stype bend 60D nail to 90 degrees, around the same strength as a blue nail. PB My heslep style bends are getting strong! Choked #3 20mm close and worked my way up to 25mm explosive close. Best choked close was somewhere between 40-45mm back in south Africa. But just prepping my hands as im resting till Monday of all grip training then going to hit the #3 hard.

JoshW Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wont be posting on here for a while as I want to go a way for a few weeks and then come back with a MM0 cert vid. Its so close but this training method will get me the last little bit, lots of contrast baths for my hands. Wish me luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Since dominating the number #3 gripper at the weekend ive taken a deload week till next Monday lots of slow movements on deadlifts and bench. Deadlifts Fatgripz Xtreme 100kg 5 reps 110kg 1 rep Deadlifts conventional 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 140kg x 1 150kg x 1 Nothing heavy here as going lighter for a week, slow up, slow down. Bench press 60kg x 5 reps 70kg x 3 reps 80kg x 3 reps 90kg x 3 reps 100kg x 1 reps Bench felt good here, got 130kg bench in july but still felt strong today Did the 100 reps bicep curl empty bar challenge on a 7ft 20kg Olympic barbell managed to do it without rest, so much pain!

PeterSweden Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Remember that thickbar kills gripper strength while you train thickbar, not long term but while you train thickbar grippers ho down hard. That's what it is for me and many others. I goes someone will say it works fine tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I thought as im not doing grippers till monday it should be fine, wasnt too heavy and only did 2 sets of it so it should be fine. Was just a one off so no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Making a change to my attack on the #3, it may be closed but not as crushed as I want it to be. Going to be doing less volume and one or two workouts in the week starting from tomorrow and see what happens! Grippers tomorrow but bench press today - right rotator cuff playing up so did more reps on the last set to try grease it out a little. Bench - 60kg 3 reps 70kg 3 reps 90kg 3 reps 100kg 1 rep 60kg 15 reps wide grip 60kg 15 reps Not really fussed about weight at the moment, nice and light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the benching is probably what's causing the shoulder pain; do you do any rotator cuff work bro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 It went funny after doing 130 back in July and I gave it a few months rest and the same problem just came back. Tried rotator cuff work but made it worse . Reckon it could be a muscle tear? Or a joint problem? Thanks for asking brutha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've had similar problems in the past...stretching helped mine a lot...I also added shoulder pressing and lateral raises which seemed to help...don't know if there is science behind these things helping or if it was just luck but it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It might be overuse or muscular imbalance. Too much pushing, too Little pulling. You need to train your whole shoulder, not just the front, and your back. Also rotator cuff stuff. Band pullaparts are nice between bench sets!

JoshW Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Muscle imbalance..might be that. band pull aparts could be good. Only in my right shoulder, it's a shame as I like bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 SCF UL000 got it to 160 in this picture then crushed it down half an hour later. Either way was a good bend! Then tried a SCF Plain lite 1 and did iso's with it for half an hour and think I might have kinked it slightly but was knackered after the previous bend!
