Cannon Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I like your workout format. If I were to go back and look at practically any workout I've done in recent memory, it would look extremely similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealB Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Training Today, 1) Warm ups with light grippers 2) Thumb training with spring clamp 4 sets x 10 second hold I felt like crap today so I focused on thumb training since I know for a fact its a weakness for me. Training should never be wasted, I feel you should always make something out of it. Even if you are frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealB Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Sunday 30 Sep 2018 Lately less is more for me. I'm recovering great and my strength is rising. 1) squats 3x3 275 2) zercher squats 3x15 3) fat grip knee raise 3x10 4) dexterity balls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealB Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Monday 01 October 2018 1) light grippers for warmup 2) CCS coc #2 x 3 sets R 5,5,5 L 3,3,3 2) CCS coc 2.5 rated 128, closed with right hand. This is a PR for me. Best CCS I've done was my coc 2 at 110. 3) 20mm block reps x 2 sets with coc 1.5. All out R 19,19 L 11,10 Time to start doing these with the coc 2. 4) expand your hands x 100 5) 5 sets x 10 seconds pinky and ring finger training with a coc #1 upside down. I just cheat shut and then hold. I used to have all the IMTUGS but for some reason wasn't a huge fan of them and traded for other things.

Slippery Pete Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thats great! Bet you will get the CCS on CoC#3 in no time. I never tried bending, but from what I can understand bending the Red Nail is no small feat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red nail is a beast and to me the most important thing was developing pain tolerance. Once you can manage the pain it becomes easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
