He knows he’s strong as can be. He needs to take the compliments and enjoy them Kapster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 First off, soon to be 2018 national grip sport & Philadelphia fit expo vice grip viking champion Joe Sullivan hates me!... Second, this is probably my first workout in awhile which was more strength training. Only been training light weight bodybuilding movements. Lower back feels alright, was tight afterwards.

Dude I’m only gonna be able to do the one handed lifts at this point. I believe I tore a pulley in the left middle finger. It’s been over a month and it’s not any better. Not happy at all. Gonna have to hold off on my championship 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stinks. I’m seriously thinking of just working on grippers, sledge, anvil and inch dumbbell instead of all the axle and really heavy stuff. Was on vacation the past 2 weeks and really like how my frame feels from not lifting to heavy on my back. At 40 maybe it’s time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there comes a time in a mans life where he has to weigh what’s worth more... lifting massive weights and feeling like crap or feeling good all the time and doing things that don’t make ya feel like crap. I’m leaning towards the latter. Grippers don’t hurt me, hammers don’t hurt me, anvils and inch, blobs, they don’t hurt either. I’m gonna take that and run with it.

JStepien Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 I don't mind, once in awhile, trying something like power cleans today. Even though, it was not that heavy... Never know with me... if I keep dropping fat maybe in 2 years masters 35 bodybuilding lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Nice, throwing is about as good as it gets. I have several shots and Braemer stones. My favorite is a 16lb Olympic hammer. Edited April 3, 2018 by maidenfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I’ve never thrown competively (Aaron was) or done any highland - pure fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStepien Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Ah understood... Never know with me... Tank Andrade asked me if I was going to one this summer, told him probably be a last minute decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) An old school buddy of mine, Mark Wechter, has won several and competed Highland games at a high level for years now. He has several tutorial vids on the net https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aYYS0dw5jeU matt Vincent’s vids are very informative also https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m1-SyPfIya8 Edited April 5, 2018 by maidenfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Here’s my homemade heavy weight a buddy machined for me out a solid billet. It’s not a 56lber (40s), cuz I’m old and do t want to hurt myself. Generally, in the summer, once a week or so, I’ll take this, my 16lb shot, 22lb dbal/braemer, 16lb hammer (Olympic style w a cable), and my 97lb Portland stone out to the park and have fun for an hour or so 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
