Trying to slowly incorporate HIIT again. My grip gains where better when I cut them out but lets see how it goes..

I'm not 20 anymore i'm finding out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) to lazy to edit log now for bend times. But tonight 150 Indian club swings and 20 minutes stretching. Jackhammered get below rebar, like 6 hours between two days. Then dropped with bobcat and chain. Tomorrow we will bust it up and send chunks threw the window. Tore quite a few beer caps tonight too.

I really worked it yesterday. Its been about 1 year with Jedd as a coach. Or next week will be. Id like to thank everyone for all the support so far. Cant wait to see what the next year brings for all of us. Only thing im a little disappointed in is my bending progress. But its been slowly getting there. And thats not Jedds fault. My body can only take so much. And I dont like pushing it because of the work I do. . Edited July 15, 2023 by Blacksmith513 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get to do jobs like this 2-5 times a year. So when I do them I can really notice how much stronger my hands are picking up all those pieces of concrete. This time I really noticed a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that being said, i'd be happy if i never had to work like that again.. My 2.5 Crusher handle was forwarded to a different address because it was labeled wrong.. Not sure what that means if they caught it in time or they delivered it.. Went to a city south of Boston. I contacted FBBC last night to see what address he filled out. Who knows if he will respond. I don't like to badmouth people, especially over the internet, face to face is one thing. But their customer service is very slow.. I think he will probably make it right, but I don't feel confident he will respond in time. Hope i'm wrong and he makes it right somehow.. I'll contact USPS tomorrow too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i ordered my steel from him it took a couple months. It eventually came and he gave me a partial refund. He's just slow to respond to emails.. He kinda makes it clear on the website though. I don't want to badmouth people over the internet unless I really don't like someone. But as a business owner, the second you take money from a customer... You owe it to them to make them feel comfortable and satisfied. Now idk whats going to happen? If it got delivered to another address, if its at a post office south in Quincy or what.. Thats not a good feeling. Hopefully he responds tomorrow or I get another update on the USPS website.. All it says ALERT "Your item was forwarded to a different address at 7:58 am on July 15, 2023 in QUINCY, MA. This was because of forwarding instructions or because the address or ZIP Code on the label was incorrect". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently ordered from FBBC and I used the closest post office address to have it delivered. Even though I ordered the stuff months before I had to move, I heard the horror stories about how long it takes. Luckily it did make it to the correct post office but it took a long time. I rushed home to make sure everything was the right size and thankfully it was. It's a shame what's happening over there because imo FBBC might be the top of the line for grip gear. Just wish there was more communication and customer service going forward. Keep us updated if you don't mind on how this all pans out. At a minimum you deserve an apology and a new handle sent out immediately to the correct address. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember ordering a guitar once and it ended up just standing in a corner in a warehouse in New Jersey for a month without moving. It was a real pain in the a$$ to get USPS to locate the package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the proper address on file and he said it looks like the PO is trying to get it back to me. I'm happy he responded fast. That's what I was worried about. I was so excited to see what I pull on that. It should be more than the RGT. But it is what it is. I'm sure i'll get it eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) 33mins 6000m Concept 2 and 10 minutes of stretching back to the pit this morning to break up the rest of the concrete. lost 4lbs. not sure if its the hard work i've been doing, or stress from losing my friend Paul. Its getting bad, his nephew is probably getting banned from the assisted living place, he keeps harassing her.. I like this new girl alot, i actually think she likes me more than i like her and I really do like her.. But she's a handful. Right now i'm just focusing on my grip and bending and just let everything else play itself out.

I didn't really hit my numbers this week except for RGT w/right hand. Left hand was dead kept dropping weight and couldn't hit 2 reps. Id imagine all the work i'm doing and the heat has something to do with it. Also what ever ab sprain i got a month ago from jackhammering has come and go but its worse today and more widespread. I'm hurting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
