Thank you. I’m getting there. It’s making a huge difference marking the stock and not bending with hands so close. for now I’ll just keep moving up on orange spring and doing 2 attempts each hand with CROM. But it’s not really too hard with my left. Edited March 9, 2023 by Blacksmith513 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, getting the hands super close/almost touching is absolutely brutal. 7 minutes ago, Blacksmith513 said: for now I’ll just keep moving up on orange spring and doing 2 attempts each hand with CROM.

In my case, I think it's partly a pain thing. My right thumb MCP joint hurts a lot at higher levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My right thumb MCP joint hurts a lot at higher levels. One day I’ll be bending with close hands again, but need to build my strength and work backwards from there. I seem to have a good with going with WD now. Every 3rd week I go up a full level or add another rubber band for all 3 working sets. Slow and steady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 NICE WORK. Looks like you're feeling better. 50 shades of blacksmith. That's funny people don't get the things that we do as far as grip. It's like you do what and why 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny people don't get the things that we do as far as grip. It's like you do what and why haha Thanks, ... Yup, i'm a lot better, just breathed in something that messed with my sinus. I like to let girls I talk to know how serious I take these goals and i'm not going to start dating somebody and get derailed and lose my progress. She really gave me the creeps, I was flattered though.. A lot of people dont get grip....I like to say, everybody laughs until they need a jar opened. The worst part is when you try to describe it and most people can't keep their mouths shut long enough to listen.

I never would normally eat Mcdonalds before drinking beer and eating pizza, but I didn't have a big lunch and I was starving. Wasn't the best choice. last night i did 20minutes of yoga before bed Concept 2 5 min warm up 5 rounds of 250m. 1 minute rest. My pace was like 56-59 seconds per round. I think every week I'll lower my rest time by 5 seconds... Once I get to 30 second rest times and i'm still keeping it under a minute i'll up the resistance level, or distance. We will see. Got my heart going. Then I did 12 minutes of yoga. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Yeah, me and all my siblings have bad sinus issues. Doesn't drain properly... We are prone to sinus infections and between the dry weather and this job i didn't stand a chance. I'll get better. Yes, I love breweries, as much as I love the High Life, i've really been enjoying this microbrewery beers. This place is cool, its an old mechanics shop, not that big, you just go there and hang out and drink beer, and get food delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Medicine is working and chest feeling little better, more productive cough, but I was up all night coughing. lowered the weights on the RGT by about 5lbs for today Get Strong phase 2 week 1. I did half of what it calls for. Its still easy stuff but I want to give it my all and will start phase 2 for real next 2 week. RGT 5 sets of 85.25x1 both hands 2x5NN Pinch 130x3 130.25x3 130.5x3 130.75x3 131x3 135x1 140x1 Inch deload assist 3x7 seconds @ 6inchesx3 3x3 both hands inch negatives Chest Krusher 3 springs bottom 1 top, 3x2 Horseshoe bender, just messed around for a few reps Vulcan thumbscrews 3x10 with like 5 or 6 rubber bands Sidewinder for pump extensor bands Not the best workout but it makes me happy that weights that where once challenging are what i'm using for an easy day. Going to work a little then hopefully get some rest as I have plowing to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
