JHenze646 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yesterday(wed.) I picked beans in my garden. Then later while mowing the grass, I moved my yoke to the far side of the yard. I haven’t had an opportunity to work up to using the yoke yet so it feels stupid heavy. Thurs. squat up to 280x5 bench up to 225x5 shrugs, wrist work i dug through a crate of old grip stuff. I forgot I had quite a few items. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Thurs. squat up to 260x5 bench up to 205x5 shrugs some grip work to dust off the cobwebs 2x60D, dc2 to 180 (all “nail” bending is DO in imps unless otherwise mentioned) The comp. will be some time in December at the earliest and I won’t be competitive per say but it won’t hurt to be in a better position. I weigh approximately 235 freedom units now. I am going to shoot for 200 a few weeks before the comp. Here we go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Sunday squat 140 5x5 bench 140 5x5 pullups, oar, finger walks (8#), shot rotations Im building back up again. ............ It’s less than a week to the KK event. I haven’t trained any of the specific lifts and I don’t think I have ever lifted any of the implements. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, “Are you crazy? Why compete?”, “Why would you waste your/everybody’s time?”, “Awesome, Bro. Somebody’s gotta place last.”, etc.. I trained for grip comps before, intensely. I’ve never done well and it never mattered. I don’t think I’ll do well this time either. But, this time the event is in my town, not 4 to 9 hours of drive time away, by grip competitors I do not know. How could I not go!?! I would go if only to change weights and cheer on the competitors. So i am excited for the event no matter how bad my lifts may be. It will be great to step on the platform against some old friends with some new friends I haven’t met yet. See you there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Monday me: *goes to roll the shop vac out of the way universe: *ping* “All aboard to Snap City!” Tues. reverse hyper, wrist curls, seated shoulder press - all light and deliberate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Sunday am: PGH King Kong venue crusher, pinch, and Finnish ball went as expected. I was disappointed in jug. My body just shut down. I can’t remember the term for it but its where your nervous system inhibits one part of your body in order to protect another part. It felt like that. I was willing to make the sacrifice, my body was not. Considering that I had trouble walking on Tuesday, it shouldn’t bother me, But it does. pm: bench 145 5x5 bw lunges 5x5 Because i needed to do more. i listen to audiobooks and podcasts regularly. I am currently re listening to “How to win friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie because I could use some friends and because I don’t think I’ve been the best friend I could’ve been.

JHenze646 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Well the milling machine sold before I could get there. The hunt continues. Thurs. squat 155x5 bench 160x5 blockweights, shrugs, Rear laterals Current book is “the Creative Act” by Rick Rueben i am having trouble focusing on the message that is supposed to be communicated. It’s very Thich Nhat Hanh/Alan Watts. It’s ok. I’ve heard it before. I’ve had Peter Pan come up a few times lately so i decided to add it to the reading list. There were wait lists on all 4 versions... weird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Sun. recumbent bike 20 min. I have actually been pedaling this bike quite a bit but I think of it more as activity compared to a workout. squat 145 5x5 bench 145 5x5 pullups, oar, shot rotations, finger walks, powerball, spike i was digging through an old gym bag and came across by leg pad(towel) for non-horseshoe bending so why not bend a spike. All kinds of awkward. i need to do more actual lifting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Well I missed a week of logs but not training. Nothing noteworthy happened anyway. Thurs. axle deadlifts up to 270 3x1 these felt solid and easy but weird as I have to learn to deadlift in a belt. bench 165x5 axle shrugs i made a 2” dumbbell handle and recorded the process. I have to finish editing and then I’ll put it on YouTube. I want to get back into making videos. also, I downloaded Duolingo on my phone. I am going to try to learn Spanish. this week’s book is “Around the world in 80 days” by Jules Verne i have never read this before it strange 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did manage to lift 5000 more lbs than I did on Sunday. That's something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
