The program is about 10 weeks (week 8 and 9 you can take off or deload) I did the 7 weeks of work and took only week 8 off for deload. The program is very simple. Sometimes i thought i am not doing enough work or should have gone heavier. Some days were very easy. That is probably what makes the program so efective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Great improvement, Jörg!! Keep going! :mosher Thank you Burkhard! I am very satisfied with my achievement. It was my first real cycle with the Rolling Tunder or any thick bar training. There is probably much room for improvement. I am not shure what i will do next. Another Rolling Thunde cycle, grippers or a balanced ( grippers, pinch, thick bar ) training. Mo. 09.11.2015 GSD Thick Bar Cycle new max test!

Jörg Keilbach Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Glad my program has improved your numbers. Keep up the great work! Thank you John! Your program worked very well. Sometimes i was a litle sceptical because i thought i was not working hard enough or doing not enough work. I can only recomand your book on GSD to everybody. http://www.amazon.com/Grip-Strength-Dynamics-Achieving-Performance/dp/1515114953/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447131978&sr=8-1&keywords=grip+strength+dynamics&pebp=1447131982981&perid=0A5GTFQKM0ZRAVMCN7FA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Try pushing your fingers towards your knees. Instead of focusing on squeezing. And try to be really tight, like with a deadlift... Do it do it! I remember Chris Rice mentioning that you not need to push with the flat thumb against the surface, but more to the side of the thumb, with the thumb a bit curled. Hope you get the idea. Also, I read you need to imagine that you are not only lifting the weight, but also that you try to pull the plate apart while lifting, both hands to the outer sides. Technique makes a whole lot of difference. You're a big guy, I lifted 87kg first try on my Europinch, you can outlift me Jörg! Do it. Do it. Now. Do it. Trying to bend the euro device, like bend it around your thumbs, like Slim bends nails made a huge difference for me. And by applying pressure that what you automatically end up in the hand position Chris Rice talks about, and you have created tons of tension. I picked that up from Daniel Reinard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your advice. I just have to get my pinching strength much higher. It is a shame. I can't even lift 10 KG ( plate weight ) on the hub for example. This will be changed!!!

I have a 5kg plate that nobody in the world will ever hub pinch! Perhaps Your hub on the plate is not made for hubbing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 It is the Iron Mind Hub. The new textured one.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It is the Iron Mind Hub. The new textured one. I've heard that it is not as slick as the old one. I sold my old one because it was too slick to do reproductive lifts with it - simply too much hit and miss stuff! Try to get good plates - much more fun!
