GrassMaine89 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) On these last two days (6-24 and 6-25) I did some closes...was again able to close my LT 155 at will but not my 160 CPW Spectrum or my 161 Elite Hybrid...I did close my GHP 7 152 lbs off hand and doubled it in my left hand, was pretty happy with that Edited June 26, 2015 by GrassMaine89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 This is the sumo deadlift I did...I usually don't do sumo but wanted to try it...took this video mostly for technique help, so it will get posted on the strength and power forum This is just a 155 LT attempt...I'm at the point where I can close this gripper pretty much anytime I pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Solid OHP workout here! thanks man...I'm paying for it today, shoulders are sore...such an awesome lift I really need to do it on a more consistent basis...something about putting weight over your head makes you feel super strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 06/29/2015 Deadlifts 335 x 1 405 x 5 x 1 I'm trying to work on technique so I don't hurt myself again. I'm going to post videos to my deadlift technique and hopefully learn some things. The good news is my lower back is tight but it does not hurt, although I can tell my technique was not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 07/02/2015 Squats 405 x 5 405 x 2 405 x 3 I paused at the bottom of these and still did not get to parallel...on the last set I actually went loose at the bottom and still didn't get to parallel...I'm going to start the mobility challenge and only do 315 for paused lifts until I get at least a close to passable squat...i used to be able to hit parallel but I guess between hurting myself and gaining more weight it's not happening now...I've been loosing weight, and with the mobility challenge I will fix this issue Grippers- CPW Spectrum 160 lbs x 1 PR (this was from kind of a deep set, would not have passed for a MMS but I was still happy with it, this is the start to being able to dominate it) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 07/10/2015 Squats (pause at the bottom, 1 MISSISSIPPI, 2 MISSISSIPPI Count on all reps) 45 x 10 135 x 5 225 x 5 315 x 5 405 x 5 Paused at the bottom, really focusing on reaching the right depths (which I did) and stay tight. Grippers- I started Jedd's Cadence Based Gripper Training today...I am from this point forward not posting the work outs for obvious reasons, but will report today that I was able to close a 156 GM...It felt good and was from a MMS (although I am going to work on getting it a tad wider so there is no question on cert videos)...I am going to start this program and as I gear up towards the end of the program am going to put my name in the ring for the MM1!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I wish you all the best man. You're strong as hell and you could probably close it today, but I admire your preparation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 thanks man...want to assure that I dominate the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 07-13-2015 Bench 335 x 9, fail on 10 350 x 5, fail on 6 This was not a good workout. I'm not sure if the grip stuff I did before this wore me out or if it's the weight I've lost, but it just felt heavy...I guess loosing weight is more important than strength...or thats what I'm telling myself. On the bright side I felt strong doing grippers today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I've been a little quiet as of late...my doctors told me to stop lifting temporarily because of an issue with my back...I've got the green light now so I'm back in the game...I started out with bending, just felt like switching focus for a little while...for some reason I am stronger than when I last bent...I will put my last 2 bending workouts up...I'm going to start back with my power lifting routine shortly..I'm in the middle of a move right now (bought my first house) 09/16/2015 Bent 2 5/16 x 7 inch HRS (bought from hardware store) Attempted a Red Nail in IMP's...I put a small kink in it, I then added a set of leathers around the IMP's and got it rather easily 09/20/2015 Bent 1/4 x 7 inch CRS IMP's Bent 2 5/16 inch HRS IMP's...video coming Did some ISO work with a bastard (put a small kink in it with just IMP's Edited September 20, 2015 by GrassMaine89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 10-31-2015 Bent a hexabastard in doubles (leathers over IMP) Bent a shiny bastard in doubles (leathers over IMP) (video being submitted for certification, will post afterwards) Failed on a square crs 5/16 x 7 in (slight kink) in leathers of IMP I attempted to bend in singles but the damage to my fingers was threatening to split again 11-1-2015 Finished off the square in doubles (video will be posted once it uploads), done in leathers over BBW Attempted a Grand bastard in BBW's...shouldn't have done this, it split my finger open again...I put a kink in it but had to stop I have been using tuff foot for a day, I guess I will need to let my finger heal and keep using that for a little bit before I go back to singles...once I heal I will continue with my Red Nail work...I am close to being able to finish this cert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
