nrw125 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Was doing strapholds tonight with my filed #1. I've only got 15lbs of little plates, but I needed something a little more. Ransacked my room, all I could think of was my water bottle, it's got a loop on the cap, plus it's marked in 100ml increments. If i remember right, 1 ml=1 gram? seemed like a cheap and pretty accurate way to microload...Just my 2 cents. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmmicklabs Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Great idea Nick. I will have to give that a try. How is your training going ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Nice idea, then when your done you can have a drink! I'm going to have to get a measured bottle and try it out! Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrw125 Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 (edited) tmmicklabs, going well. My goal for the #2 was May 10 but I think that's probably not going to happen. Last night I did 3 5sec holds 15lbs plus the bottle (1/2 lb?)...I've heard that closing the 2 takes "20 something lbs". Not sure if that's mid-20's , low 20's, high 20's, or if its just different for everyone. I'll let you know when i get there. The left is no where close to the 2 yet.

tmmicklabs Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 You on KTA I assume. I've got a 1/4 inch left to go on the # 2. Should have it in about a month at the rate I am going with KTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrw125 Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Nah, not on KTA, though I did do my civic duty to the Gripboard and lay down the 19 bucks for it. Right now I don't have the committment to stick with it, although my training consists of a lot of kta standby's like strapholds and negatives, but those really aren't unique to kta I think. Anyway right now, my goal is steady progression, just trying to add one more rep, or a little more weight than last workout. This is how pretty much I train, I'm a shameless HITer. I have to put away my grippers in between workouts (MWF), I don't have the will power not to pick them up if I see them. Happy Lifting, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
