Rick Walker Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 A lot of people have asked me how I am training now. I have figured out a system that has me increasing my crush, bending, and pinching all at the same time without one really effecting the other. It is really quite simple-a 3 day cycle that never ends unless, well, I just dont feel like training on a particular day. I am training towards a few goals: #1. 2-45s. Especially after watching Wade toy with them! #2. 3-25s #3. Half a 95 pound hex head-harder than the blob! #4. Bend grade 8/ 240K challenge bar #5. Mash Monster The log will start today- Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Rick-Im one of the few guys that like the super gripper for crush. I think it helps with the sweep. Gorrilla hands said he wouldnt be where he is without using it in the past. Later-Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Razor- I got my BBE a year ago so I dont know how it compares to the new BBEs. I do know when I got it-I was closing in on the #3 and BBE still felt like a BRICK. Austin- I am trying it out to see how it works on the sweep. Full range movements-all the way out (to my hand length) and back in. Seems like it has some potential to build a good sweep. Very awkward piece of equipment since I am used to the grippers-but it wont be a month or so and I will have it for reps at the hardest setting.

I do know when I got it-I was closing in on the #3 and BBE still felt like a BRICK. That is my experience, yes. Although, being a #3 closer, I can get some degree of flex into the BBE. Slightly more than the #4, but not parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 12/16/04 Wouldnt you know it! Today is ONE OF THOSE DAYS! No grip today. Tendonitis is a little flared up. I am going to do some cardio then hit the dexterity balls, hot/cold soaks, and Jack's Blue Heat. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 12/18/03-Pinch Plate Pinch- 2-35s x 3 sets of holds with each hand Was pissed as it seemed hard today? Tendonitis causing havok! So-I went to 2-25s in each hand. First I walked them 5 ties back and fourth in the garage. Next I grabbed them and cleaned and pressed them 5 times with each hand. Next I threw them and caught them in the air back and fourth. Finally, I went around my body 20 times. Enough of that! 6" wide block pinch- 35 pounds- 3 sets of hold each hand Smurf with pinky and ring- 20 punds- 3 sets of holds I then moved on to the TTK-I did countless amounts of sets and reps and I dont remember how many or how much. I just kept adding plates and doing reps. Single handed and dounle handed. I also did some holds. When I was done, I could not pinch 2-25s Outer Limit Loops: 3 sets of holds with 15 pounds.

Rick Walker Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Just realized I never posted my 12/17 workout. I bent. Scrolled a 10-foot bar. Bent some 60ds, some 1/4" steel, and some bolts. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landon Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Never tried liniment products before. You suggest that Jacks? I know a lot of people who love it. I should get some cause it's so cheap. Just like some more input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorman Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Landon (yeah, I decided to come back, but only to here) Try a Chinese herbal liniment called Dit Da Jow. Buy it from a MA specialty store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
