jvance Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) thanks Eric and Joshua 4/18: Thickbar and wrist training Highlights: 35 plate curls with back to wall 130 lb inch trainer hand to hand tosses Notes: Did some singles on my new 2.5 inch barbell, worked up to 290 DO for some fairly easy singles Rows on the inch trainer felt very strong - so much so that i went ahead and tried for the hand to hand toss, which was easier than i thought it would be Also did some wrist work with 255 on the axle, just DO grip, let the hands drop into the weak position and then curl it back into the strong position, did 5 for 3 sets very slow and strict i finished with plate curls, they are MUCH harder against the wall as you can see.. these make any other style of curl feel like cheating!

EricMilfeld Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Very impressive plate curling! Actual plates don't feel anywhere near as comfortable for me as the replica of the National's implement I made, so maybe I'll perform better than I expect on the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Looking like you'll be a contenda' at Nationals! Strong and strict on the plate curls and nice toss & catch. Looks like the Inch will be a walk in the park for you next time you see it or immediately after you get used to the feel of it trying to rip your thumb away from your hand as if you'd gripped an anaconda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric, I have no idea what to expect on the curl... I'm just hoping all this work with plates will carry over. Looking like you'll be a contenda' at Nationals!

I credit all the snatch work and rows for this drastic improvement.... Talking less than a year Looks like a got a challenge for sure! Good work bro, thanks Josh, hope we can push each other to some huge PRs, looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 4-19 Did some one hand snatches with 2" axle, worked up to 93lbs for 12 singles per hand total 24. Felt difficult enough to challenge me but easy enough to keep good technique. Also worked some hammer choke and lever training... Finished with grippers, up to 5x3 very slow 20mm block reps each hand- used 126 rated 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Easter workout Did some pause squats at 245, 5 sets of 3 Also did volume pinch with work gloves, 5 sets of 10 at 113lb Finished with 2 sets of 10 saxonpinch snatches at 56lb Highlighted: 2nd set pinch snatches Good volume day, challenged CNS without overly taxing the hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 4-21 Felt strong so i did more grip, worked up to a 215 DOT axle hang clean as posted on Aaron's thread Also did some bicep and wrist curls with the RT Everything has been feeling light lately, i feel like my body is adapting to the rigors of the training i've been doing the last 3 months. I believe strongly that i will DO 400 on the axle by years end and also lift the inch, among other goals. Just need to work on my sledge choke, its pathetic!

jvance Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Great stuff in here Jon, keep it coming! Wrist curls with the rt...I never thought of that. Hmm.... Thanks Anthony, yes the RT has many uses beyond the 1HD... i also use it for rows, high pulls where i'll flick my wrist up underneath with momentum and palm down curls that challenge the extensors in the wrist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
