We are organizing events now in dfw and I think it will be good to be able in to inform those who want to come out and play

Do it simply because the incredibleness must be documented 

 

people have no clue how absolutely dominant Tanners Grip is.

I dare you too! 

[bencrush]

Very good to see you back Adam!!!  Your overall grip strength is mind blowing.  I also like watching your videos (especially Axle) because you just chalk up, walk up, and lift.  No loud yelling or antics.  Just workman-like lifting and huge strength.

Hi Adam, you don't know me, but I followed you throughout the years and I'm very glad to see you back grippin stuff! And very cool you started a log in this completely obscure corner of the internet.

[Dbramb]

Following this fo sho! I am brand new to the world of grip, but live in DFW as well and would love to come out some Sunday soon to lift with some of the best in the game. I've already reached out to Tanner on social media. Looking forward to learning from you guys!

Bad ass! Thanks for the info and I will try to make it out the 3rd Sunday of this month. Have the Strongfirst Tactical Strength Challenge tomorrow and will be visiting my sister-in-law in Colorado the following week. I'd like to train with you guys and get some serious pointers before I dive into any comps.

[AdamTGlass]

2/5/19-5/5/19

taught workshops in Minneapolis all weekend. No actual training sessions for me but many demonstrations and hours on feet. Having 4 days off I’m looking for big lifts on 6/5/19 

[Aleksandar Milosevic]

Adam, since you train your grip very frequently and very aggressive, I gotta ask you, what's your recovery protocol? What methods do you use to recover from session to session? Thank you in advance!

I think quality of sleep and total quantity per week is extremely important. Learn everything you can about how you can maximize whatever time you have to sleep. 

you have to master regulating your  emotions and stress. Stress management in your life is the real master key to fitness gain. You can do everything right in the gym but if you’re always walking the line of having a heart attack from stress you’ll never realize your potential. If you have continuous anxiety it will slow you down. If you’re always angry at everyone with high blood pressure it will kill your progress. 

anxiety, fear, doubt, impatience, resentment, hate,pride,  unforgiveness- these things kill your gains more than any bad diet. 

+++ ^ note this is my method and my mindset this is not to stir up a pointless argument on my training log so save it if you don’t agree or whatever ***

my weekly nutrition is meat, veggies, (I like fruit but in practice I don’t consume much at all) and some limited breads. I do not eat dairy products. Most days I eat a small breakfast, skip lunch, have a small snack in midday and a huge dinner. 

I use weekly the hand X band, a finger massager (thanks Tanner) I stretch daily, work mobility drills daily, and hang in gravity boots 5-6 days a week. 

I like hot soaks with salts. I often soak my hands & feet before bed. 

How I train is a huge consideration. It doesn’t look like what most people would assume. I do lift heavy but I do so in low effort. I “don’t try” when I lift. All of you probably train much “harder” that I do. Unfortunately the results of the people I have competed against now for years leads me to believe training hard and trying hard doesn’t matter much. It is more important to work within limits and balance your tissue as you continue to gain. 

Dont try hard, do right.

Thank you for a very detailed answer Adam! I'm not under stress, so that's a good thing. And I understand you perfectly when you say that you train with low effort, I've never seen you get emotional when lifting or trying too hard, at least on youtube, everything seems pretty easy for you, you probably unleash the beast on the contests.
