I stayed with a 10kg olympic plate for months until it got really easy. The first time i thought my wrist would snap. Now they dont budge. They have really increased my finger strength and thumb pad size as well. Keeping going with reps and volume until you can easily get over 10 reps. Then maybe add microplates or a 1.25kg on top. With Having 2 plates to pinch then curl you have to squeeze more to keep them from slipping. Great fun though. Thanks for the advice. Felt like my wrist was going to snap off with the 10kg plate . Ill definitely be keeping it slow and going for high reps before moving on. My gym has 2.5kg olympic plates so i can micro load the 10kg to 12.5 as an inbetween trainer before attempting 15kg and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love plate wrist curls as well as an assitance exercise. Thats a smart plan. Your wrist will feel solid and wont move in time. I was upto 13.75kg for reps before the gyms shut and was about to try the 15kg plate. Here in the uk it looks like the gyms are going to be shut possibly until autumn so im stuck with a few limited plates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce1337 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 OHP: Worked up to 60kg x7 (amrap) 38kg 3x10 2" Wrist wrench (home made): 27.5kg 3x8 20kg wrist curls 3x5 Ripped my thumb really good on the blob trainer. Gonna take a few weeks off pinching until it heals nicely. Until then ill do hub lifts instead for pinch training. Still taking a break from grippers for now.

bruce1337 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hopefully said: The sanding didnt help or failed max lift? Failed max attempt. Also my thumb skin hadnt fully healed since last week and i ripped the skin off If i didnt sand it I think my thumb would have been a lot worse Edited May 31, 2020 by bruce1337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce1337 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Still taking a break from grippers. Will start again next week. Planche training Plate curls: 5kg olympic x5 5kg+2.5kg olympic 3x5 (these felt much harder than a 10kg metal plate, I think its a good stepping stone towards the 10kg olympic) DB Bicep curls: 20kg 3x5 Triceps push down: 45kg 3x10 Wrist work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce1337 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hopefully said: How is the planche coming along? You doing planche leans or leans push ups or..? For now doing pseudo pushups and leans, push ups in getting around 8 reps perset and leans for about 10-15s. Im using pushup handles as they make it much easier on my wrists. Also doing some reverse hyper extensions for strengthening the glutes and hams. Ill probably stick to this for a while until the leans feel super easy to hold for about 20 seconds then ill start on frog stands, then tuck planche. Each going for times holds. Maybe i should actually log my planche training from now on, just so you can follow the progress. Edited June 4, 2020 by bruce1337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be travelling around so I wont be doing any grip or other training in the coming weeks except for planche training (since I can bring my push up handles and do them anywhere) My fingers and knuckles are in pain ONCE AGAIN! My crush power has dropped because of it. Taking another break from grippers. Hopefully they heal up within the next two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good weight (I think xD) Unfortunately no, I wanted to test my max then wait for the results of other lifters to compare. The lift is so taxing on my knuckles I plan on making one good lift at the end of the month I saw your lift and it looked easy, defs have another kilo in you for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
