Gripper42004 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 When is a good time to stop train'n just before a contest, so you will have plenty of rest & strength?

David Horne Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I usually do my last grip session about a week before. This gives plenty of time for your body to get ready. In that time and prior, always remember to keep care of your skin and take callouses off. If you haven't gained the required strength with a week to go, you ain't going to. David Quote
Bill Piche Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 The only way to find this out is by experimenting to find what works for you. Quote
Big Steve Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 A four days to a week is what I do. I took three days off before this Wed. in Ashboro NC. Hand are getting hungry, but they still could use three more good days of healing. Quote Steve McGranahan heavenbent.net
bballdad Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Looking forward to meeting up with you and Dave in the morning. I got to rest hands today. I'm on the backdown week with the KTA so I get an extra day rest. Hoping maybe tomorrow will be the day my PDA gets closed. Quote
Rick Walker Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I am with David on this one-I am ALWAYS my strongest after 7 days off. Each time I have lifted the Blob with ease was after a 7 day layoff. My training cycle will end right in time to get 7 good days before the contest- Rick Walker Quote "I ain't afraid to die anymore...I've done it already."
Emsquared Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 For grip events, I train everyday usually, even before the day of a contest and sometimes even the morning of, and even after, I don't seem to loose anything, but that is just me.

The Vampire Lestat Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 always remember to keep care of your skin and take callouses off. David Why take callouses off? Quote
Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 So they don't tear off during the contest and you end up with bandages around your hands. Quote
