matek Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 DU 1" singles - G5 1/4" x 6" 390lb batch by Devin - G8 1/4" x 6" 490lb batch by Devin This G8 was really stubborn, and it was definitely harder than the A2 after it. These were my last G5 and G8. - A2 bolt Stainless (303, Horrido) 5/16" x 7" - CRS HEX 7mm x 7" - CRS 9/32" x 7" + Stainless bolt 6mm x 6" barehanded (I found this when looking for the A2) I didn't bend any in thicker singles this time. My mind was/is very preoccupied with work, and I tried to solve a problem even during the bending breaks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matek Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 DU 1.3" singles Last week was only 1" singles, only 1.3" this time. - CRS 5/16" x 6.7" - CRS 21/64" x 6.5" - CRS SQUARE 7mm x 6.7" - 35CrMo4-A 5/16" x 7" Annealed Chromium-Molybdenum steel. I've done this a few times in singles, never easy. 3 big hits to 54 degrees. - DR O-1 (from ECGB) 5/16" x 5.5" 5 hits to 48 degrees. Sub 6" bends are annoying. - DR SK95 8.1mm x 7" Diameter is between O and P, but the material is harder than O-1. 3 hits to 47 degrees. Too tired, no more bends. I've recorded the square bend: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matek Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 RH - grippers 20mm block set - 5x2 Standard Adjustable Ti, RGC 122, 3-sec hold on each rep My left index finger hurts for 2 weeks now. I'm not sure what caused it exactly, but it doesn't help to set grippers, so I did all sets using my middle finger to set the gripper. Since the bottom of my index finger is wider than 20mm and it gets in the way, I had to set the gripper wider than usual. 10mm (bottom) choked - 3x3 Stainless Adjustable, RGC 156 LH - Inch trainer - 1x5 58.9kg/129.9lb level lifts - 1x3 63.9kg/140.9lb level lifts - 2x1 66.4kg/146.6lb 1 level lift, 1 slight tilt, 3-sec hold on top - 3x1 66.4kg/146.6lb level lift 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 My left index finger hurt a lot at one point, I think it ended up being from thick bar. I adjusted my hand placement as I realized I was felt a lot of pressure on it and it got better. Whatever the cause was hope it goes away soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I forget exactly but I know I adjusted it slightly so there was more pressure on the other fingers. If I had a rolling handle in front of me right now it would probably help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a rolling handle in front of me right now it would probably help. Maybe you moved your hand closer to the pinky side of the handle. That should alleviate some of the pressure on the index finger. The problem is that can easily end up in a tilt lift (at least for me), and now I'm going for level lifts.. Anyways, good advice to think about thick bar hand placement, thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Doug No change, but with these really heavy one-armed rows I use straps to concentrate on my back, so wasn't bad at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
