PeterSweden Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I need something to motivate me further so I'll start another log. My max has dropped from 90kg to like 80 on RT but I suspect that I'll get that back fast. Two of my main goals for this year was to 2h pinch 100kgs (and Im there now!) and to do 100kg on RT. I also entered the inofficial CTD challenge on gripboard for even more motivation on my way to this goal. Im going to train every sunday afternoon for the rest of the summer. Working during the weeks has my hands fatigued badly and I need saturdays off to recover alittle. Also my left pinky is severly sprained or might be fractured, been out of training for 2 weeks now and its not getting any better, not much anyways. Training will look like this; *Warmup on 2h pinch and then maxout on it. *2-3 sets of warmup and then one set til failure on my slick steel RT, starting at 50-60% of my Max. Increase 2,5kg every week. *Back to 2h pinch for 2-3 holds til failure on 20-30 kg lighter than my Max for the day. *Then some sledge deadlifts and blockweight training. Trained alittle yesterday with a friend and I did one set of 45 reps on 45kg right handed on the slick spinny steel RT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks guys. Training on your own with no likeminded people to share your thoughts and ideas with sucks. Luckily gripboard has these people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 This is my best pinch on video so far. When I did 100kg I didnt think I'd make it so I didnt film it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PwJ2emFP8Ww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Shiny spinny RT; 6,6,4@45kg 46 reps right hand @47,5kg. One rep more than last time even tho the weight is 2,5kg heavier. Since I've never trained on this handle before it's a PR. One hand pinch - 60mm pinch block. Went up to a max @32,5kg right hand. Did some sledge coin deadlifts. Right hand. Left hand might be a tad better, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royz Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So what exactly is your approach for getting to 100kg on the RT? I'm very interested to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Starting at 60-70% of my 1rm. Every session I start with 2-4 warmup sets and then one set til failure or very close to failure. Every session I increase the weight by 2,5kg. Last sunday I did one set @45kg, today I did one set @47,5kg, next sunday I'll do one set til failure on 50kg. I did this last year and went from ~70kg to 90kg in about 16 weeks. Im gonna try this again and see if it'll take me to 100kg if I keep it up.

Alawadhi Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 To add 2.5kg every time is a pr and that's not easy without getting injured. How can you do this? To have a pr everyday for me is impossible. Not every day I am better at strength than my last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a pr everyday for me is impossible. Not every day I am better at strength than my last timeIt works for me I train with raw aggression. I always try to improve and I dont get injured if I dont train on max weights, but rather in the 70-90% range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Its thursday night and Im freaking excited already for the upcoming session on sunday! Training once a week really up the intensity when I get to train. Training every day or every other day makes me sloppy and I lose motivation easy.

PeterSweden Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Training one day early due to all sorts of shit going on around me. RT; Warmup, 10@25, 8@35, 6@45 46 each hand @ 50kg! PR and huge pump! It hit the thumb hard too today. 1h pinch 60mm block; Went up to 30kg, not happening today. 3xHolds@25kg. Sledge training, levers and static holds. Nothing spectacular.

PeterSweden Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Trained yesterday, one day earlier than I was supposed to, due to a crammed schedule today. Warmup RT; 10@25kg, 35kg, 6@45kg 40@52,5kg lefty and righty. PR on that weight. Reps are starting to go down now, as expected, when the weight is going up. Training RT like this really kills the other events following. Dun matter tho, I went up to 90kg 1rm 2h pinch and backed down and did two sets of holds but I forgot the weight now. Got 100kg on the v-bar and respectable air under 105kg. Think I might sneak some v-bar in after griptraining from now on if I feel it doesnt hinder progress on RT. Then I trained alittle blockweight, hub, v-bar and biceps/forearms with bands/towel/cablecrosshandle, armwrestlingstyle. I feel it today, I tell ye! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trained biceps/forearms armwrestlingstyle after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Today I did a glorious session even tho RT suffered because I got dumb and trained biceps hard two days ago.
